Sorry but if a kid is playing 16 whites he's hardly going to be the next superstar, unless he's 13.
Tell Jason Gillespie that
Why? He wouldn't have been a permanent fixture in the whites, admittedly he wasn't too crash hot as a 16/17 year old, he was playing C's and D's when he started playing seniors, could swing the ball a mile but struggled in other aspects, gee did things change over the next 24 months, a great cricket story.
From his book he mostly played Whites in his final year of 16's. Granted he his the most successful Whites graduate as 3 years later he was playing First Class Cricket.
I'm sure there are other stories at other clubs with players going from Whites to play First or Second Grade.
Do you have his book?[/quote]
Yes. Although I'm relying on my memory for his 16 Whites Career. I'll check for you.
