I hope he is able to develop naturally, and without pressure.

Has he got a passport, and can he play unorthodox slow bowling....
As for the young lad, looks like he's got a great eye, he stays so focussed on the ball. But APR makes an important point. My 8 year old nephew has just attracted the interest of Fulham, and while on one level I'm obviously delighted for him, I do at the same time wonder about Premier League clubs chasing after kids so young.
