Who's the brightest prospect...

Not opened a thread for half a year 
Right, I'd like to know who you guys think are the brightest prospects for our cricketing future, both batting and bowling.
You can choose 3 batters, three spinners, and three fast bowlers. (Younger cricketers, i.e not the guys who have been playing for a long perioid of time).
So here are my top nine future stars:
Batting:
Malcolm Waller: has had another great first class season, and should be solidly in the Zimbabwe A side.
PJ Moor: I know he's stil very young, and hasn't set the first class circuit alight, but I've personally seen him play, and of what i saw i was very impressed. He hits the ball very hard and has great hands. Give him four/five years, and he'll be a great option for test cricket.
Stephen Marrilliar: Although he's not particularly young, he's still a great prospect for opening the batting. He's got the ability to stay in and grind down the opposition, scoring runs freely in the process. He's had a very good first class season, one to look out for.
Spinners:
I'm not too sure, Mushangwe is a great legspinning prospect, but I'm not 100% up to date with our young spinners. Perhaps you guys could help me out there.
Fast Bowlers:
Tendai Chitara:Fast, tall, fit, and still only 19. Enough said. What a star he's going to be.
Kyle Jarvis: Again, tall, young, fit, fast, and handsome. Great prospect to partner Chris Mpofu in the long run for sure. Slightly quicker than Chitara (able to bowl 90mph), but needs to keep himself fit.
Ian Nicholson: again, a very good prospect. Has the ability to swing the ball away at pace, and generally bowls full, something the others bowlers can take note of.
