England - making poor teams look good again.
They treat some away tours like try outs for new players.....I thought that was what England A was for but I'm a bit out of the loop....I use to follow England religiously until it all started to get woke about ten years ago.
Anyway England picked three new players I think and Jamie Overton...who's had one test from memory. - Jordan Cox, Dan Mousley and John Turner.
Anyway this Jordan Cox doesn't seem to be doing very well....though we all remember that Gooch started his test career with two ducks....but nevertheless he missed this opportunity.
On the positive I like the look of Dan Mousley, you can tell a lot from body language in cricket and this chap looks switched on and up for the fight.....A good sign that someone does well under pressure. There's a lot of hype about this Jacob Bethell who gets called an all rounder, but from what I've seen he looks more like a one day batsman who can fill in with spin.....But hey that's how Peterson started.
John Turner is just destined to end up playing for England......Bowlers are born more than made and he's just looks like an obvious test bowler to come.
I've always had high hopes for Jamie Overton because he's a 90+ bowler. It seems obvious to me that they are considering him for Australia as we know that they want pace over there. His career has been blighted with injuries and its never come together for him internationally. However he's 29 now and along with Carse maybe this is his time in the sun.
We are off for a short test tour in New Zealand now but in reality what we care and are preparing for is the Ashes. We want those Ashes in Australia and even though we have lost this one day knockabout in the West Indies I think we are finding out about new players and finding out who can hack it.
