Is this fellow that good at the beginning of his career?

In reply to solidrock

He's had a great start to his career, a good find for Australia but let's see how he goes on the subcontinent first.

In reply to solidrock

He certainly did hit a purple patch last year.

In reply to solidrock

I knew Jimmy Adams beginning was good, but I did not realize it was that exceptional. Jimmy went to Kingston College which is the biggest rival of Wolmers on the field of sports so I need to be careful how I praise Kinston College. Just joking.

In reply to solidrock

I thought Jimmy went to Jamaica College.

In reply to Dukes
I think you are mistaken, but I am not perfect. The fact is Jimmy did not go to Wolmers

Jimmy went to JC

In reply to solidrock

In reply to solidrock
