Was hard done by Umpire in an early match for 86 but today he gets his century off 120 balls.
Plays all around the wicket with wonderful timing. Very wristy onside shots, something or senior plays can't seem to do consistently.

He is pretty good, still Parris and Hinds ahead of him

His half open batting stance, wrist, as you rightly pointed out, stature, soft hands,hook......all very similar to Sarwan...... interesting, who the kid idolize....

Hopefully, he can grow up to play international for West Indies......

Looks like he has become more consistent and prepared this year. Hinds have been very scratchy this season. They still got Guyana to get pass
to complete their dominant season. He played a walking off drive that looked like Conrad Hunte.

Hopefully, the ECB does not suddenly discover a great-uncle whose dog once spent a weekend in London.

Hinds, Parris and Clarke have the basis to go on
Yoing Harding looks good.

Hope Parris focuses first and foremost on his legspin bowling. We have had a few legspinning allrounders over the years who favoured the batting route but we need quality leggies. Parris is unique at his age for his accuracy and ability to get significant turn with his googly. But it will take full dedication to the artform to transition to senior level.

I watched Parris for a few overs today and I understood what you saw in young Parris as a leggie, he seems as this stage a better bowler than batsman. I hope that he continues to improve as a allrounder.
