its not that uncommon for those that make it as a pro to be playing county 2s at 15
Tom Westley at Essex did the same
It's a first class game and is the youngest player to do so.

I just saw a bit of it on SSN he took a couple of catches. He looks about 12.

Only had his birthday a couple of months ago. Interesting to see if he can continue to improve for a couple of years.
Our works team had their first net session at Old Trafford last night and the lad next to me said "I netted at Lords once"

The Durham Seconds/Academy has a lad called Cole Pearce who plays wicketkeeper. He is only 16. If anything ever happened to Richardson it would be interesting, with Mustard out, too see what Durham did.

Isnt Smith a back-up keeper? Or have I totally made that up?
He would probably take the gloves yes.
it might be listed as a first class fixture, buts its county 2s cricket

Its not that unheard of for wicket keepers of that age facing 85-90mph international bowlers such as Shazad. All the local leagues have had test match bowlers and it was particularly common in the 80s where the likes of Courtney Walsh, Nixon McLean, Wasim Akram and Ian Bishop all played in our leagues. For my team Whickham we had Chris Matthews who in the mid 80s according to Adam Gilchrist autobiography was the quickest bowler in Australian state cricket (he played a few tests) and our wicket keeper was a 15 year old called David Hirst.
