#4 His useful bowling

England v India: Specsavers 5th Test - Day Two

Even though his batting has looked like his stronger trait, his bowling cannot be underscored. He bowls like a bee just ready to sting you. He has shown that he can swing the bowl in helpful conditions and took his maiden first-class wicket with a deadly in-swinger.

Also in the first test match against India, he broke the back of top order with his swinging deliveries and took three quick wickets. He has taken useful wickets throughout the series. He has the potential to become the best-left arm seamer England ever had.

#5 The fact that he is still 20

We can only imagine how his game develops when he becomes older and gains more strength. He has a lot of time to develop his game much further. He would get to play in different conditions during foreign tours where the conditions would not suit his game.

Tougher playing scenarios would help in his all-around development. He has a lot to look forward to in a career which is still in its infancy. He looks a part in all aspects of the game and definitely feels like would serve England admirably with his grit and perseverance.

Let's hope he shows the promise he has shown till now in his further career and continues his exciting game and becomes a world beater with his all-around skills.
