Where will Jacob Bethell end up being ranked?

[Ali TT]

A wildcard pick of someone with the right attitude, even if lacking the stats, that reminds of when Australia selected a young leg-spinner in the 2010 Ashes who went on to become one of their greatest batters. We could be at the birth of greatness.

Will Bethell's career take a similar but maybe opposite direction to Smith where he ends up one of England's greatest spinners?

When his career is over he'll be in the top 70 for sure.

He can never be a Jack Leach

Top 70 cricketer?

Top 70 cricketer?

He hasn't had a single bad Test match in his life, sky's the limit.

The next jadeja, or maybe BSW (best since Woakes), you'd reckon?

Look, you don't wanna set expectations too high before he's even debuted. BUT

1) He comes from the best county
2) Stokes was impressed by him on the golf course.

He should go far.

 

[Qlder]

He averages 25 with the bat and 96 with the ball in FC. Is he supposed to be a batsman, bowler or allrounder?

Oh hang on, crickinfo has him as "Batting Allrounder"

He sure is.

Leaves room for everything I'd say.

Just numbers

Seen enough to say he’ll definitely end up being one of the cricketers

With Jimmy having retired we needed someone with a strong haircut to come through, he's really ticking so many of the right boxes.

I think this is highly likely

 

[Third_Man]

He has hit the ground running in T20 for England, less so in the 50 over format.

He will either mature into an all format player or go the way of Buttler and Livingstone etc. His test career may well end abruptly if England move away from bazball and toward more calculated and less intuitive selections.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I see him playing for us in the future.
