Great, he's had a cracking season. I've been very impressed in the three 2nd's matches I've seen him play. This is what I said out about him, after seeing him play in the first match (Yorkshire Friendly):-

"Adam Sylvester had a good season with Kent 2nd's last year and previously played for Worcestershire & Derbyshire 2nd's (turning out for Derby 1st's in one CC game against Glamorgan, in 2022 - strange he played against them, he's a Glamorgan lad !) ? A right arm seamer".

Is he fat? He looks a bit heavy.

He's not exactly in the Colin Milburn or Mike Gatting zone though, for a quick bowler, he certainly looks as if he could lose a pound or two. But you could have said the same about Merv Hughes and he didn't do too badly.
He does look to have potential, which makes it more surprising that none of the other counties that he has played for have snapped him up.

Yep, especially as he's now 25 - a bit old to start as a First team seamer.
You're right, he is a bit 'beefy' (a la Merv H & the other beefy guy, whose name escapes me!), but pace isn't his bag, he does move it around a fair bit and tends to hit 'hot spots' on a regular basis.
