He's great! When gets going, he's a force to be reckoned with. I spent most of the season at the county ground (as I keep saying!) and his best innings had to be his 86 of very little balls in the C&G semi, well then there's the match where he scored a century in each innings............too many good points to mention!!

Although he is a good bowler, I dont think he is as good as Ashley Giles, he doesnt have the loop. But he certainly makes up for that with some pretty explosive batting, a good prospect for England..

I am a huge fan of Ian Blackwell and believe that if England give him the opportunity, he will show his undoubted talent. The exciting thing is that while his bowling has improved massively, his batting hasn't really taken off yet. I really hope the World Cup is the stage when it does cos he can marmalise bowling when he's in the zone.
As for his weight, as long as he's fit then I don't see it as a huge problem. He'd be in the team for his batting and bowling while he's a decent catcher to boot. If he's not Linford Christie round the field then ce'est la vie cos neither are half this England team. he must get fed up reading about himself described by the English press as 'talented but fat'.

I dont see what the English media's obsession is with fat! Honestly look at guys like Warne and Lehmann (who arent that fat just a bit big). They are world class, as long as people do the job who cares what shape their body is.
