Eng vs India - First Test - 20th-24th June


I remember saying soon after he got picked that he would be lucky to get 10 tests. You just knew he would always be the easy one to leave out and carry drinks.
 
Ben Stokes (Durham) – Captain
Shoaib Bashir (Somerset)
Jacob Bethell (Warwickshire)
Harry Brook (Yorkshire)
Brydon Carse (Durham)
Sam Cook (Essex)
Zak Crawley (Kent)
Ben Duckett (Nottinghamshire)
Jamie Overton (Surrey)
Ollie Pope (Surrey)
Joe Root (Yorkshire)
Jamie Smith (Surrey)
Josh Tongue (Nottinghamshire)
Chris Woakes (Warwickshire)
 
I can’t see why Potts can’t play against Sussex like unless they’ll play him in the 2nd test but Atkinson should be fit again

It’s a bizarre decision. They’ve treated him very poorly this season

Just seems a bit daft really. His last red ball bowl was a month ago vs Hampshire which was 29 overs and they rested him the round before vs Worcestershire.

He's bowled 118 overs so far this English red ball season and as it stands hat 118 overs will remain the same number until June 22nd at the earliest.

I's not exactly great for a young lad.

It’s baffling.

Overton being selected over Potts is comical

Why?

Has Potts really been that impressive this season? I don’t think he’s looked too great for Durham in all honesty and he didn’t stand out too much in the recent ODI’s either.

Agreed. Love the lad but not convinced he should be opening the bowling for England on recent form snd hes not a 2nd or 3rd change bowler like Overton.

Yeah bit of a cock up. Podcast other day said he’s just been unfortunate as every time they were going to release him an England bowler got a niggle. Sounds like it’s due to that rather than any plan.

He's barely bowled in red ball cricket since 2022. He didn't bowl in white ball for over a year too.

So you've got absolutely no idea how he's going to hold up to bowling 20 overs an innings again.

Potts isn’t gonna play though and you just moaned about him not getting any cricket?
Can’t have it both ways
