Sonny Baker- An amazing young pacer from England

[Bewal Express]

Lots of excitement around this young man. Highly rated and already on the pathways, can he live upto the hype?

A bustling young fast bowler, Sonny Baker's hooping inswingers earned him opportunities with England Under-19s in 2021 before injury ruled him out of the World Cup early the following year. He had long been earmarked as a player with high potential, and in 2022 became the first man to make his professional T20 debut in the Hundred, representing Southern Brave.

He also took a six-wicket haul for Somerset in the 2022 Royal London Cup, and will win further opportunities in years to come. Cricket was not always the obvious choice for him: "I tried cricket because I was terrible at other sports," he has said.

Markram massacred this kid lol He has some energy about him. Keeps coming in. But he needs to learn variations. And also bowling in 100 is not the same as bowling in a ODI game.
