James Rew averages almost 44 from his 60 first-class matches
Three weeks into the county season and Somerset's James Rew is making a strong case to be part of England's post-Ashes rebuild.
The left-hander's 379 runs is bettered only by Jamie Smith, albeit that Rew has played a game more than most.
In his five innings, Rew has passed 50 four times. A century in the opening match of the season against Nottinghamshire took him to 12 first-class hundreds at the age of 22. That is as many as England's Zak Crawley has in his entire career.
The Crawley comparison is apt, because it is the opener's place in the England batting line-up that appears to be most vulnerable.
