We're not claiming sage status for nominating Adil Rashid as one of our 10 to watch in County Cricket in 2011.
It seems everyone bar the England selectors acknowledge that Rashid is a seriously talented leg spinner - although clearly not in the same league as Michael Yardy and James Tredwell.
April isn't traditionally a great month for spinners in the County Championship - even if it is unseasonably warm (or so our spies tell us) in England this particular April. But try telling that to Rashid.
Rashid took just the 11 for 114 as Yorkshire battled back to trounce Worcestershire in their opening Division 1 match.
That's not a bad start.
Where next?
