Thought it would be over the top to make a thread purely about J Hildreth from Somerset, so I thought if there are any other players (that aren't youth) that are absolute superstars this could be the place to mention it.

As I was saying, Hildreth is an absolute star, couldn't believe how well he played week in week out for me...as I'm not an Englishman, I'd be interested to know if he really is that good a player or if he has been sleeping with the ICC database people.

He's gonna play for England.

Hit a double century for the Under 21's last year.

Great talent.

hildreth is ok imo, saw him hit that double century last year, but perhaps a little overated....who knows, give him at least one more season or two before judging him, looks like he has the talent, just needs to perform.

I remember in the original ICC, Michael May was going to be a star.

:lol:

And they always brought Illot back straight away, and he'd average about 25 in Test cricket 8-) Likely story :p

For Warwackshire there's a very promising seamer called Naqqish Tahir.In the coaching sessions just give him loads of bowling technique.I called him into my side in the middle of my first season and he hasn't really been out since.He took 40 wickets at an average of 23.41 and he can bat having a top score of 85.Sometimes he's in the out of contract domestic players at the beginning of the new season.
