Has anyone else noticed that Bennett King has a West Indian sounding name?
Probably because two of the better young bowlers in regional cricket over the past decade are Reon King and Jason Bennett. I'm almost certain you've never heard of the latter though, which negates my point somewhat. :p

It is more to do with his first name than his last name. I am intrigued by West Indian Christian names. Mervon, Ramaresh , Courtney, Curtly and Shivnarine(apologies if I have spelt some incorrectly). Bennett is not a usual first name in Australia, that was all.

How do you rate Jason Bennett's chances of playing for the West Indies in the next year or two?

I can't wait to see Fidel Edwards at The WACA this summer.

Bennett is a big talent. If he stays fit and gets the guidance he needs, he could be a big find at Test level.

You're assuming that Edwards will be in the squad. He's not exactly a regular ODI player.

Well IMO he should, with that pace he has got he could be a good strike bowler in both forms of the game. Maybe they are doing it because a) they don't rate him in ODIs; or b) They want to rest him?

It would be great to see him and Shoaib and Edwards going flat out at The WACA - very exciting.
