He's burst on the scene, and people are excited due to his age. But having watched him a few times I don't think he has enough about him to kick on, and will still be a decent county player in a couple of years, but nothing more.

The fuss is all about the stats, that was my point. I've not watched him much but he looks like he has a habit of taking wickets from nothing, if he can carry that forward and add a bit of speed I think he'll be very good.
Averages nearly 30 in red ball, just over 32 with the white. Unless you are referring to his 5-wicket hauls, when he's been able to bowl longer spells in the longer format?
Hameed's form has cost him, I still think long term he'll be a star. This really has to be last chance saloon for Ballance. He had a great start to his Test career but he's consistently failed since.
