Scott Boland

[Dan..Dan..Dan..Dan]

A bowler who bowls a very tight line, I suspect he'll do very well in spring/early summer.

 

[seaham ftm]

Have to say would of been very excited by this a year ago but he was awful in the Ashes looked totally non threatening.

So have to hope for more of his Aussie based form.

He won’t be bowling to many England test style and quality batsman in the CC.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

So he's not an arrogant Aussie then?

I see Australia have no tests from March 2024 onwards until November. Assuming he’s here for the entire season?

Ridiculous that

 

[mackembhoy]

Wonder if they’ll have the one day cup on June whilst the T20 World Cup is on- blast quality will be ruined somewhat if they clash

Was expecting World Cup June, Blast July(Final September) and Hundred/One Day August.

 

[smoker]

Top tier signing in principle but I'd be slightly worried about him needing a season to adapt to the conditions after his Ashes performance.

A signing showing some positive intent though. Well done Marcus

 

[Monument View]

I’ll reserve judgment until I have seen him perform for Durham because I have only seen him in the Ashes where he was poor

County wickets will be more conducive to his style of bowling than the 5 day test tracks we had this summer.

An aussie style bowler on the current CLS pitch is ideal.
Not worried about comment on his ashes performance, what matters is a) he's good and b) how he does from here on in.

I don't disagree, good signing

Have the club moved away from the overseas spinner route they took this season? An oversight or confidence in Parkinson

Parkinson is the man. Ackerman is no slouch with the ball either.

Not sure how Ackermann gets in the side mind.

Thought he might replace Scotty at the point he signed. But not now.

He's going to be absolutely lethal for us.

Such a repeatable and accurate action.

The Ashes pitches were absolutely shite and playing in April/May will be worlds apart.

Kookaburra being used first few rounds so will be a big advantage having him for that too

Are they using them in the first few rounds? Or the middle of the season again??

If they use them in April and May it’s another completely f*cking braindead decision from FTECB.

I thought I’d read early season but it doesn’t specify in here

England hoping Kookaburra ball can help them win Down Under

Exclusive: It is hoped the change will help spinners, though the move is not expected to be universally popular

Hopefully mid season!

Is there even a mid season. Is it not all in April/May and September.

Guess we will find out at the end of the week, but I'd be surprised if we have much red ball June-August.
