Was a great effort, and I really iked the way he served it up to watson on particular. Watto decided to try and bully the young fella, but he took it in his stride and blowing that kiss at Watson was fantastic.

The kid has some serious heat - imagine how good he will be when he learns how to play the game!

Have to agree with all what has been posted here, I actually thought he bowled very well in the 1st Innings as well, has a huge future and will create mayhem in some countries top orders over a very long period of time. Plus always has a smile on his face which helps

I now know why.
