Nicholas Pooran that is. That's just my take

All round a better player it seems
Though you know Hetty had two good showings last at bat, when you look at what Pooran been donig last 3 months or so the level of consistency is there.
He seems to be one of those, I just wanna play cricket and have fun doing it type of player. and he seems to have the necessary skills to do so.

I don't know about better player. But Pooran has shown good signs of situation ...
Hety is 22 and he has 2000 intl runs
I'm sure he will sort himself out

They are in the same class.

No comparison. He has the better in style, technical ability and now it seems the know how when you see how he puts his innings together.
Pooran is the better pure batsman and in fact is potentially the best of all of them including all the incumbent test batsmen like Bravo, Hope, Chase etc.
I use the word potentially because until he plays FC and ultimately Test then all you have in potential.
That why the reverence and the real big pay day is given to Smith, Kholi, Williamson etc as these guys have demonstrated their ability to do it across all formats as proper batsmen.

idon't rate hetmyer high until he starts scoring runs consistantly nobody remembers 20 or 30's only hundreds potential only gets you so far

I rate Hetmyer highly buy recently I'm beginning to doubt myself.

Ain’t funny...same way I rated Lara after he batted one over in a match I was playing first time I saw him in 1986 in Barbados on a cricket field.
We all like who we like right or wrong. Nothing personal against anyone.
When I look at Pooran all I can comment is what I see as his talent vis a vis what I see in others. Time will prove me to be either an idiot or having a good eye.
No matter how much FC and Test runs Kraig scores most of the people don’t rate him so there is your answer.

Pooran as an under 19 player, going to a prestige school, thought about red ball cricket
Life is a shiv . . .

We need him playing red ball.
If he thinks he is making money now, tell him the best brands long term play both red and white.
