The current SA u19 crop and particularly fast bowlers below have very good pedigree and are playing amateur cricket while still at school. Some players just out of school like Quinton DeKock has a contract with the Lions already and Cloete has a contract with the Knights. Chad Fortune has a rookie with Dolphins and Rafferty & Olivier have rookies with the Knights. Those 3 clubs don't mind giving youth just out of school a chance.
The Cobras, Warriors and Titans are normaly the clubs where you have to do a bit of an apprenticeship in the amateur ranks first.

Thanks. I trust you don't rate Pienaar though. The others who I've heard and noticed have big wraps on them are Rilee Rouss. and Devon Conway. Are they chances to go to the next level?
