Well, he’s from New Amsterdam (where I went to high school)...they used to have seriously talented guys in my day. Tucber Park tends to produce more fast bowlers: Jeremy Gordon and Kellon Henry.

im not sure what is Nial Smith’s backstory. Maybe he was spotted just bowling quite and fast in tapeball games and was advised to go join a club to play hardball cricket. Furthermore, Julian Moore (a youth coach) hails from the same area as Nial Smith.

He's having an excellent Super 50 at a very opportune time as we are in desperate need of bowlers for our ODI side. Don't think he will be unknown for long.

So it turns out that he is the son of former Guyana coach, Albert Smith. I believe he was the successor to Carl Moore (Julian Moore’s dad).

The thing with him is that he is a very accurate bowler. The bowling action is smooth ( a hint of Mohamed Sami and Waqar Younis).

I know there is no speed gun so it is hard to tell but I would be surprised if he doesn't touch 90mph on occasion. He is rushing all the batsmen.

Very early days, but I think Fraser Sheat has a bit of potential as a Chris Woakes style home track bully.

I will nominate three. All of them from Bihar.

1. Rahul Kumar - https://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/1246471.html

17 year old from Bihar. Tall, pacy, and extracts steep bounce on dead pitches. Think of Ishant at his debut although the action is closer to Broad. I'd be disappointed if he doesn't feature for India at the next U19 WC in windies.

Rahul in action at a provincial tournament in Bihar. Tall, and a strong repeatable action.

I posted this before the start of the CGG insurance 50 overs cup.


Gudakesh Motie is the leading wicket taker.
Kevin Sinclair, the most economical.

Top scouting! Motie is a very good left arm spinner, I feel that he might have the best technical action of all the slow left armers we have. Sinclair is really accurate but he doesn't turn the ball enough for my liking.

Is it just me though, or is Kimani Melius severely overrated? I have never seen him score more than 50 and I have watched quite a lot of him since 2018.

Movie’s got a fairly simple action. Add accuracy and variations into the mix and we end up with a Herathesque bowler.

Melius needs to play more FC cricket.

Rex singh is a left arm pacer who gets sick looking inswing. Took all 10 wickets in a junior game a few years ago and took a cheap 8fer in the ranji too. He's probably way too short to have a real impact at higher levels and dont really know whether he's done well recently in the domestic scene but his name is Rex singh ffs how can you not support him.
