and I would also like to had Abhishek Nayar in that list

South Africa:
Wayne Parnell he was brilliant during the World Cup

Australia:
Moises Henriques
Luke Pomersbach
 
Moises Henriques. He's a tank. Good batter and a good bowler too
Usman Khawaja. He's got determination, and hes not afraid. Tried pulling Tait in his first FRC game :D
Phil Hughes- Could be getting the second year syndrome though.
Pomers- Just simply a great OD batsmen and a pretty good Shield player.
 
Mansoor Amjad - The next Mushtaq Ahmed
Saeed Ajmal - The next Saqlain Mushtaq
Nasir Jamshed - The next ... :p
Naeem Islam - Want him to develop into a good all rounder
 
Shakib ul Hasan - this kid is going to be big. You don't take 9 wickets and score a fifty in a test without having some serious talent...

Rizwan Cheema - what a player, unfortunately Canadian. He's taken apart pretty much every bowling attack he's faced - Lanka and Mendis included! I want to see him in the IPL, I think he has what it takes.

Ashraful - may have been around a bit too long to be excited about, but he is a pretty decent skipper and looks dangerous.

Ishant Sharma - I don't think he's had a bad match yet, and he's only 20!! At this rate he'll be incredible in 5 years.

Zaheer Khan - he's has to be one of the best fast bowlers in the world right now. Easily. In a few more years, he'll be up there with Srinath and Dev as some of the finest fast bowlers India has produced...
 
As for Zaheer, He is one of the best fast bowlers India has ever produced...
 
Ryan Ten Doescate is a legend

The KENYANS actually have some decent bowlers.

Tamim Iqbal is a star in the making.
 
Peter Siddle
Ishant Sharma
Luke Pommersbach
Piyush Chawla
Adil Rashid
 
Sharma.

I'm not really 'excited' about him though, I just think he has massive potential and is class...and is still very young.

Oh, and Misra. He looks a treat.

Ryan Ten Doescate is a dog

Fixed ;)
 
Ishant Sharma- Already hounding the Australians, extravagant seam movement, superb accuracy, and he gets top players out. Could easily be the best in the world in a year or two.
Phil Hughes- Alot of hype surrounding this guy, he's had a great start to his FC career and seems to have alot of potential. Could see him in the Aussie team in the next few years, I'd certainly have him in over Marsh.
Joe Denly- Has finally started to shine in English domestic cricket, he's got a lot of potential. The Kent team certainly feel he's going to be a great player. He's a proper batsman, and can bat in all forms of the game. Certainly a better all-round talent than Alastair Cook who's mainly a Test specialist.
Luke Pomersbach- Another of the hyped Australians, this lad has already performed well in the IPL. He's got a great FC record, has already made hundreds against world class touring sides, looks a good prospect.
Shaun Tait- He's back roaring, back from his break away from the game, and according to reports is bowling better than ever. He's found accuracy and is consistently bowling in the mid 140k's. If he can find accuracy and maintain his pace, he'll be the best in the world. I've liked him since I saw him in England in 2005, clean bowling Geraint Jones and seeing the off-stump cartwheel back was a sight to behold.
 
Sometimes I think you guys just copy each other when it comes to Australian youth.

I'm more excited about Andrew McDonald than I am about Moises Henriques, talent doesn't always equal results, and so far Henriques only has the former.
 
I admit I just typed the players I've heard about on these forums for Australia. However, I didn't just put them there without looking at their record and the descriptions given on Cricinfo. Also, I heard about Usman Khawaja on the news. It isn't the same for South Africa becasue I saw their matches in the U-19 World Cup and I was very impressed with those two players I've mentioned. Of course, the second one never really played (I think just one game) and just came on as a substitute fielder but what a substitute fielder he was.
 
I know, I just find it interesting that so many people share the same opinion despite not even living in Australia. It's not your fault, I just think that people take others' opinions and claim it as their own.

If you want to know who I think will be big, other than the obvious ones:
Tim Paine and Matthew Wade as keepers
Phil Hughes
Jon Holland
James Pattinson

There are many, those are just a few not mentioned yet. Theo Doropoulos is also coming along very nicely.
 
I've seen Peter Siddle and Luke Pommersbach play a few games and they've been impressive.
