His future as a cricketer looks a hell of a lot brighter than as a footballer.
Very good against his own age group at football and very skillfull but really struggled to have an impact at reserves level and showed no real improvement during the year
Cricket wise he is getting better and better at district level and his age would suggest he would be in the box seat to take over from manou in 3 years time.
Whatever, Whatever you reckon.
Can't say I agree with the "no improvement" comment. He didn't have a huge impact early in the season, but held his spot without a problem in 2nd half of 09. If he doesn't get selected Tuesday I'm sure he will again focus on balancing footy & cricket committments.
ATM he has chosen footy as first option and has the luxury of still being able to play District A Grade cricket to boot. Time will tell as to which path opens up first and where his talent will lead him. Some people would be glad to be good at one sport, he's good at two. What a luxury! I just want him to succeed at WHATEVER options become available to him
