Hopefully he abandons his s**thouse batting and just becomes a seamer for Middlesex.Have been surprised at how effective Cartwright has been with the ball so far
Did I read somewhere that Mark Wood was back too?Durham signed Matt Dixon on loan from Essex, Western Aussie with Brit passport. One month apparently. Cover for all the seamer casualties (McCarthy and Rushy).
Yes. He got sick of bench warming in the IPL. You have to assume they'll play the full contingent of seamers available v Derbyshire: Wood, Weighell, Rimmington and Dixon. Rimmington and Dixon were both Western Australia team mates.Did I read somewhere that Mark Wood was back too?
If so I hope he gives Ed Smith something to think about
We had him on our books for a brief moment.What made Leicestershire think that picking Varun Aaron up was a good idea
I'd say Jake Ball-esque at present. Wide off the crease and swings the ball away at decent pace(85 mph). Was a little steve harmison like when he debuted in the u19s with the long arms and legs flailing around but more controlled now.What is Brookes like ?
At least getting wickets unlike other pretenders at this stage ie Garton, Barber
Gubbins gets some runs here and he must be in with a chance of taking stoneman or vince's spot.Stoneman fails again.
Not many of the players in and around the test side scoring runs this season.
Yeah, plenty of spots open in the batting. Would say only Cook, Root, Malan, Bairstow and Stokes are certain to play in the test and presume the other 2 spots are up for anybody.Gubbins gets some runs here and he must be in with a chance of taking stoneman or vince's spot.

With the walking wounded it seems like outside Woakes it is only Coad, Porter, COverton, Ball. At least there is something to monitor at Warks with Brookes & Stone.Coad rested because of fatigue. Makes you wonder if that is so he is fresh for a test match coming soon?
I can't see it personally - although who knows what ed smith is thinking.. Just too slowish (and lacking lions experience) especially with Anderson still around. I think he started the season injured so they are probably just being careful.Coad rested because of fatigue. Makes you wonder if that is so he is fresh for a test match coming soon?
Wicketless and going at just under 4 an over. He is back.Did I read somewhere that Mark Wood was back too?
