He has the same amount of wickets as Stokes in the first 2 tests![]()
He has to be dropped I'm afraid. All the seamers have 5 wickets in this match, Jimmy 1.
Almost 3 years old this thread....
Looks like his times up though....then again, Headingly might suit him.
The overhead conditions were perfect. He just didn't perform.Pitches like this May as well have RIP Jimmy’s career tombstones on them.

Ollie Robinson trundling in at sub 80 mph and got 5 wickets in the match. OK he's taller but Jimmy just hasn't showed up.It’s weird cos he was bowling at the same pace as previously. I could understand that going, not his accuracy and movement.
Mind, the stats have shown that the main bowlers to succeed were ‘bang it in’ merchants.
Don't think he is as everyone gets rotated he's also been very good before this series if anyone can have a few bad games it's him41 next month, I’m not sure if there’s much value in picking him after this series if he continues in the vein of the first two tests. Could be argued he’s starting to block the path of a younger bowler and we could do with blooding one replacement now rather than lose he and Broad at the same time.
