“He relocates the sphere continually. I like what he makes with the broad slant on the fold, he can easily sway the round away as well as nip it back. “He has a lot of weapons in his armoury.
“There is actually no question he will reside in the selectors’ thoughts because you can obtain a number of terrific years coming from him.
