Muteye being tipped by some T M S pundits as a 'bolter' for the England trip to India
As great as that would be, purely for his development, I would think that it would be better for him to go on an England A tour and play rather than carry the drinks in India. We have to remember that this is a lad who has only played 16 First Class matches with a total of 844 runs to his name - he has the one ton (179 against a Northants attack which DBD took for 300) and whilst he is 22 he really does not have many miles under him - James Rew is three years younger and has played more matches than Muyeye.

Rew was another being heavily touted as a future England 'star' .. the experts still have doubts about his keeping .. as you say he is just 19 ! .. lots of time to develop .. it's bowlers we (England) really need to show that they have international potential, both pace and spin

I'm amazed that Ollie Robinson isn't being touted. He is definitely on England's radar as one of two next on the rank as keeper/batsman - 764 runs, averages this season 58.76 and has the fastest strike rate of anyone who has scored 200 plus runs of 85.45. If that isn't Bazball then I really don't know what is!
Coad definitely a player who in another era would have England caps
It might not be too late for him but his lack of real pace might have been his downfall. His lifetime 236 wickets have been taken at under 20 and this season he has 26 wickets at 17.57 and a rather impressive ER of 2.38. Another though who has had more than his fair share of injuries.

he got an 'honourable mention', there again between the 'experts' and the 'emailers/texters' so did about 50 other county pros, well got mentioned at least. Be good to have Alastair Cook as a selectorial adviser, as a still current player he gets first hand knowledge of all the 1st Division talent, though he has a very Essex bias
To be fair to the lad he bats at 7 in both the CC and Blast. I'm sure he will eventually move up the order in both. He opened in the Final last year and scored 97 but is batting at 6 this time round.

Definitely more a batting all rounder than a bowling one.

I agree. Just a shame that he hasn't played and bowled more with Stevo because he would almost certainly improve for the experience in doing so given the fact that Stevo was exactly the same for the first part of his career.
Evison has really become quite a player. I wonder if he fancies becoming backup to Jordan Clark rather than playing Div 2? Might even get a hundred contract out of it! Most of our fringe players seem to!
