Chris Jordan's allround ability is such that after just five minutes Surrey second XI coach Nadeem Shahid rang Alan Butcher with excitement. Five days later Jordan was at first team nets. He impressed there and he continues to impress - blazing into Surrey's first team at the business end of the Championship season and helping them to safety. He looked the part immediately.
Jordan's talent first came to light in his native Barbados, where he was spotted by Bill Athey, who was scouting for a recipient of a cricket scholarship back in England, at Dulwich College.
He could play for England - and would be eligible through his English grandmother who lives in Hertfordshire - but his heart is with West Indies. If this allrounder, who bats in the top-five - playing straight and correctly - and already bowls in the late 80s, can keep improving (and there is every sign he will) then he may soon have some decisions to make.
