Re: Top 5 Emerging Players
Sharma is EASILY the most exciting youngster in the world, and the rest you can throw together in one giant group.
Such as: Siddle, Mishra, Duminy, Mendis etc.
Johnson and Steyn are probably just coming into their prime so I wouldn't classify them as emerging
Would love to think that my man Siddle is up that high, but I doubt it.jainy25;306740 said:

Re: Top 5 Emerging Players
Big call mate.
To be labelling someone with a first class bowling average of 50 an emerging player.

1. I.Sharma
2. P.Siddle
3. Mendis
4. Krejza
5. A.Mishra
Even I am surprised that there isn't any batsmen in this list.

Re: Top 5 Emerging Players
I no AB DeVilliers isnt really an emerging player but when he gets a bit more mature he is going to be an absolute superstar.
In his first 10 tests he got a 100, a wicket, catch and stumping as keeper, catch in field, he did the lot.

Re: Top 5 Emerging Players
As for Johnson, I would say that he has been playing at international cricket since 2-3 years now. So he does have any experience to lead his team's bowling attack in the absence of Lee. And as far as Krejza is concerned, I would say he has done very well, especially against India (which we all know that Indians are good players against spin).
By the way, I agree that Duminy deserves to be there in the list.

Re: Top 5 Emerging Players
but also look at this fact, that it were the Australian pitches that he was bowling on. And South Africa aren't really that weak that they can't play an inexperienced spinner properly. Though over a decade or so, India has been known to produce the best players against spin, but you can't just ignore S.A.

Re: Top 5 Emerging Players
He bowled a pitch that was flatter then the Princess Highway in Victoria. Not his fault that the selectors aren't man enough to keep chucking him the ball as he is an attacking player, none of this defensive shit that Hauritz throws up.

Re: Top 5 Emerging Players
Sharma is ahead of Mendis because Sharma has performed against Australia, Mendis hasn't played Australia yet and we'll see how he goes when he eventually does.
Siddle is up there, he's a very highly talented fast bowler and he could make a huge impact in international cricket.
JP Duminy is going to be a gun as well, a fantastic batsman.
Johnson and Steyn are both in their prime and cannot be considered.
Ronald McDonald as a roughie for the next Allan Border Medallist (2010 edition)

Re: Top 5 Emerging Players
i'd definitly go for krejza over hauritz.... in a test match you need to take 10 wickets twice and i'd rather krejza return figures of 4/5 for 90-140 than having hauritz waste overs letting the batsmen get their eyes and ending up with 1 for 60 off too may overs.
