He's already got the A standard for the 200m and just won the Jamaica High Schools' 100 and 200!
The Mail is being pretty reserved about his status. It's about time we had someone who can give Malcolm and Devonish a serious and consistent challenge in the 200m otherwise they'll still be representing us in their 40s.

This doesn't seem to be much of an issue any more in cricket. Only the other day I was listening to yet another South African accent belonging to an England cricketer. Can't remember who! But that fact alone says it all - no fuss about him.
