The next Paint?

I wouldn't get too excited. White boys give up cricket when they reach high teens.

Lots more money in cricket, than when his grandad played.
He must be close to Kraigg, as per tons, at his age.

White people follow money...cricket is money now..what his parents will most likely do is ensure he has something to fall back on when he retires.

In addition he has family with cricketing connections.

Hmmm I did not know he was a white boy.

Does not make a difference to me though.

This lad does have an appetite for runs
I hope he keeps it up.
