What having 7 bowlers out what do you expect them to do
Little things......

Well it’s a Durham message board mate not a surrey one
Did we need 3 this game? Trying to work out the logistics if Raine and Potts play and Doggy in squad?
Well if we were Surrey we would poach some bowlers from other clubs on lucrative contracts.
Presumably Potts is made unavailable by ECB and there'll be doubts about Doggett

Why would Potts be in squad if he wouldn't be available
Potts is in squad for tomorrow, just had a quick look and other England players are in squads for tomorrow
His unavailability was a presumption, made before the squad announcement, not a statement of fact.
He's been named in squads in the past then withdrawn from the final X1

Seems unlikely he’d travel
True,but equally there are 7 seam bowlers travelling and presumably only 4 will play.

Our Just develop our own. You know, like the Currans, Lawes, Sykes, Barnwell, Taylor, Patel, Atkinson... but nice try.
Potts in squad but not in final XI. Quite simple really.
Durham have been told by ECB to rest him at some stage and have chosen this game.
The fact remains that the bulk of Surrey senior players are poached from other clubs. They're a wealthy club and can afford to. Nice try though. Knew you would bite
Not many of those you name are in today's team.

..... our buy almost a whole team in --- Lawrence, Foakes, Clarke, Overton, Fisher, Worrall, Roach, Smith (NZ quick). The Surrey first choice seam attack has 1 home produced player in it.
Ball has 2 wickets already
Is it worthwhile bringing in expensive overseas bowlers early season when they're constantly breaking down? Can't say that they're shaming but it does appear that in such cold conditions they use the slightest ailment to cry off. It's happened too frequently to put it all down to bad luck.

It’s a fair point, do we know that’s the reason tho, id like to know their training before
This is the argument for less Cc aint it, I don’t agree with this by the way more the better for me, but you end up just gettint and XI of fit bowlers you can find rather than top class selections
Ben Raine is a mint bowler but his main attribute really is he can play every game and bowl lots of overs, accurately, and that’s down to his speed
Not solely down to his speed. I suspect Ben Raine is prepared to play through the pain barrier of minor ailments. He had knee surgery over the winter. Presumably he played through the ailment some of last season.

Fair point yeah
But I’d argue at his speed and with his short run up I can still be effective while battling on
Where as for example like Josh tongue would be shite bowler if he was just trundling in
Ben Raine is just a mint bowler tbf
