I can see where you are coming from. But Rohit Sharma has a poor FC record. Tiwary has looked at sea against good bowling. Jamshed has done nothing to prove himself as a 5 day prospect either. If you want a massive prospect, check
this guy's FC record out. Few people do well in a debut against the Pakistani champions and then sustain the form throughout an entire season.
Is Andy Hodd that Sussex keeper?
Rohit Sharma's FC records aren't THAT bad, they've certainly improved. He averaged 21 at the start of ICC 2006 in FC cricket, and he's pushed that up to 37 in 2 years, with a double hundred a few fifties. He's also shown maturity beyond his years in the CB series against Australia, and I think he'll be a good test player, he certainly plays top quality bowling very well. He could be a Michael Vaughan, who has poor FC stats considering his stats, where he struggles against the county trundlers and medium pacers, I think Sharma could be similar.
Tiwary can't have struggled that badly against top bowling, he averages 54 with 6 hundreds, and his 1 ODi appearance was after just flying in from India, so that can't go against him. He's got fantastic FC stats for a young player. He also emulates KP which also works him into my team :P.
As for Jamshed, he was the leading run scorer in the Pakistani Domestic season, and has very good FC stats for such a young player. It's amazing to note that he's only a month and a half older than me, and he's already played 7 times for his country, and was impressive. There aren't many young openers as good as him.
Rahane has brilliant stats, converting 9 fifties into 3 hundreds is very respectable for a young player, not as good a conversion rate as Tiwary, but still very impressive stats. I'd not heard of him before, due to my lack of knowledge of the Indian Domestic game, but he certainly seems a talent. Will have to look out for him.
Andy Hodd is indeed the young Sussex keeper, everyone that's seen him play has been incredibly impressed. He'll have to move counties soon to get a real first team place, as Prior's been impressive thus far for Sussex, but Hodd's a top talent. Very good keeper and more than useful with the bat. Definitely one to look out for. Are there any other top quality young keepers around the world ?
A few players were unlucky to miss out though, such as Adil Rashid, Luke Wright, James Harris, Heino Kuhn, Shaun Tait, and a few others I imagine. What you think ? Team of the future ?
