I watched him in the recent under 19's CWC in New Zealand, and considering his age, he looks very good. He strong, well built, and resembles Eddo Brandes with the way in which he bowls. He bowled 82Mph in a game against Sri Lanks...

He will DEFINETLY get quicker because he has a very strong side on action (like Brandes did). And he's just very very bulky, big biceps, just a big lad. But in all honesty, he looks very fit when running for the ball and when running in to bowl etc..

He was overweight before going to youth world cup last year but I believe he has worked on his fitness and game with his uncle Doug Higgins and Zim Fitness trainer Paul Martin and shead alot of weight before he made his way overseas this year. I was told he has taken over 60 wickets playing in the north Staffs Premier division and is averaging about 25 with the bat although he normally bats about 8 or 9. He is said to have pick up a bit more speed since last year.

I like the potential that Moor has shown. He hasn't really delivered much yet though.

He scored a quickfire 50 on his first class debut if i remember correctly, and a century for Zimbabwe under 19's against South Africa; the talents there for sure
