AB deVilliers looks very impressive to me and he is still very young.Not having seen much of Pathan i can't make a proper judgement so i would therefore have to go for de Villiers.

Whilst he is not old, at 27 is Simon Jones a "young" cricketer?

I wouldn't class him as a young cricketer, for England I would say Ian Bell or Liam Plunkett!!

to be a young Cricketer you have to be under 25 IMO

Also Jones has been around for quite a while, just not really seen him extensively with all his injuries. I would go for AB DeVilliers also, he is a good solid opening batsmen and once Boucher has retired he can become the keeper to prolong his career, just as Stewart did for England.

Thumbs up Plunkett

I think Plunkett is one of the best young cricketer.
