It's mental that some (non-DCCC followers I presume) are advocating Gay as an England opener. I read that he is considered 'reliable' by some. McKinney often mentioned still too. Probably the same folk who remember a different Potts to the one we saw (some of) last season.
Gay has the sort of game that will work at test level. Does well on flat decks.
Confirmation of above in this month's Cricketer. Says he's particularly keen to improve his T20 stats. Implies we'll only be seeking one other overseas for Blast.
He's out of contract and so not our player for next season as it stands
The Cricketer is a reliable source and so is the Mail on cricket issues. It's reporting that he's agreed on a 1 year extension despite interest from Yorkshire. Probably as it stands it's only a verbal agreement and awaiting final signing off.
Why didn't you share before marra!
Because I only received the Cricketer today
I'll be disappointed if we aren't looking to get a second overseas for the red-ball stuff, especially with the gaps in our bowling attack.
I think i heard on here we're looking for an Aussie bowler.
Doubt if either would be interested given their previous experience of NE England springtime climate and even if they were Cricket Australia could well veto it or at very least limit their availability.
