I saw him make 202 in a day at Worcester (v Northants) in June and he looks a very good player indeed. A certain Australian opener once Hayden/Langer retire, and possibly before.Brian Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10336241250446877498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30531601.post-1154879267944706062006-08-06T16:47:00.000+01:002006-08-06T16:47:00.000+01:00The Div 2 bowlers have had it rough.

He's been piling on the runs with incredible consistency (taking a short break for the A-series in Australia recently), and given his career at the moment, I'll be quite shocked if he doesn't get a chance in the Ashes squad. <BR/><BR/>As for Surrey in Div 2, I think the addition of Kumble might be a big difference maker. He already took 8/100 and bagged 11 in the last match he played, allowing Surrey to win on what was apparently a very flat wicket. As the season goes on and the tracks get drier and more spin friendly over the summer, expect him to be a major matchwinner.Salilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024757873081383487noreply@blogger.com
