Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

Robbo has said he will be offered a contract.  He also said we can't expect too much from the lad so one or two more senior seamers are required, as we expected.  We could really do with having a look in the firsts at Rollings and Adkin too.  Thorpe may have to wait a bit.

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

I don't understand why everyone is on about the big lad Rollings so much, it sounds like he's a way off the level of Hatchett, Adkin or Thorpe. He went the distance in the 2's today and I think he's more of a longer term project.

Keen to see a bit more of Adkin and Thorpe though.

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

I think in terms of being ready for regular first team action I would say it is:

1) Adkin
2) Thorpe (who took 3-21 for England Under 19 today)
3) Rollings

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

Are the other two a little tied up with Uni, unlike Rollings?

Adkin has one more year at Uni and Thorpe two. If I had a question mark over Rollings it would over his consistency and fitness. If you look at his bowling figures in the Sussex League over the past two / three years compared to Adkin and Thorpe his record is worse. Although in 2XI Rollings has taken 19 wickets compared to Thorpe 14 and Adkin 13.
