Well by the sounds of it Adam Milne, Dean Brownlie and Doug Bracewell might be making their 20/20 debuts on Boxing Day...

Bevan Small is one to look out for. Big strong bloke clocking in the low 140s with good bounce and seam movement in the under 19 world cup. Yet to make his FC debut but hopefully he can move in and do all right when Michael Mug Mason retires.

The Mug was robbed of 900 test wickets ftr.

Anyway, I've never seen this Khawaja bloke play, nor Bravo, but Williamson looks good *fingers crossed*. Kemar Roach and Virat Kohli are superstars in the making as well.

There is a video of Khuwaja in the OP. He looks pretty amazing tbh especially his timing and placement.

Aside from Williamson, I really don't know enough about the other two to vote with any confidence.

In terms of comparisons with Crowe, Williamson reminds me much more of a young Glenn Turner than a young Martin Crowe in terms of his style, physique, temperament & technique.

I was going to suggest Boam earlier but I've only seen him bowl a couple of times (and bowled well) so didn't feel confident about it.
If Boam does make it, it'll definetely be as a batsman. His bowling doesn't have the pace to be anything more than strictly part-time support.

Question for Wellingtonians: Can Boam open in the long form of the game? He opened for the under 19s at the world cup and looked at home, but that was in limited overs cricket at a lower level. Could he conceivably move up after Bell retires and be a Watson style player for Wellington?

ATM it's Kohli vs Mathews. Kohli averages 48 with the bat. Mathews averages 33 with the bat and 28 with the ball in ODIs.

In Test matches, Roach is the real deal.
