Yeah, I don't doubt you've got some pace... but you can't know how fast anyone is, or even close, until they've been timed.
I've seen a 13 year-old guy who could bowl extraordinarily fast for his age before. But how fast was he? We didn't know.
And I played for our men's side at 15. As a batsman! And I was frighteningly out of depth.
Know wot Richard, i aint gonna let you dampen my enthusiasm

Oh, I'm delighted to hear it - but I'd really hate for you to be disappointed because of optimistic coaches, it happens so often.
Such as in Simon Jones' case.

You'd be frightentengly out of your depth as a batsmen against most thirteen-year-olds, so that's really not much to read into.

I'll try again, i am not allowed to bowl to th U-15s in the club [why]. Even when i am training with the U-16s, i am not allowed to bowl bouncers or even back-of-a-length [why].

Just give it a rest, stop trying go persuade me and my coach are rubbish. Coz we are not

Oh the irony.
Oh, the monotony.
If I had a quid for every time one of your posts contained a quote from me followed by those 3 words (and nothing else) I'd be a rich man by now.

I am doing nothing of the sort.
I commend you on your dangerous speed, but I maintain that until you've been timed no-one can have a clue to 20kph as to how fast you really are.
