I don't see the problem with bringing someone in at 19. Tendulkar started at 16, I believe, and there's a whole bunch of very young Olympians competing as we speak. I don't know Hameed and haven't seen him on screen, but if he plays as he does, then that strikes me as the kind of temperament that could handle pressure.

My support for Hales has nothing to do with my being a Notts fan, of course...
But I agree with you. I wouldn't complain if he was dropped, too, but I genuinely think he's got out to more good balls than Vince/Ballance and reckon that he may have more of a future, possibly, perhaps, maybe... I think his future, if he does have one, lies in playing more freely, though.
