I’ll say it now, he has to be one of the most overrated cricketers going Chris Jordan is the most overrated. I disagree, he is at least of some use. 4 overs, 3 wickets, 2 catches. But I get what you mean

In more positive news the test summer gets underway in less than two weeks.
Our fast bowling attack is likely to be unrecognisable and there’s already murmurings about Foakes’ place in the side with Durham’s Ollie Robinson and Surrey’s Jamie Smith expected to be included at some point during the summer.

Smith’s excellent. Let’s hope Robinson’s confidence hasn’t been knocked after his world record over.

I'd love nothing more than to see India bottle another tournament. I wouldn't bet against India yet, all the batters have struggled v their bowlers so far.

India look hot favourites to me, South Africa look like they might have blown it.

Interesting game this. Bumra bowling well.
Trying to work out what team I dislike the least.

Another big choke from the Saffers. Two set batsmen, needing less than 30 at a run ball and they’ve stuffed it up.

The psychology of sport. South Africa blown it when in control yet again……

I think it was more a case of India winning it with fantastic death bowling and a great catch rather than SA choking. Bumrah was almost unplayable. It was also clever for India to have an injury to Pant to slow down the momentum just when SA seemed to have control.

England squad for first two Tests against West Indies
Ben Stokes (c), James Anderson (first Test only), Gus Atkinson, Shoaib Bashir, Harry Brook, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Dan Lawrence, Dillon Pennington, Ollie Pope, Matthew Potts, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Chris Woakes
I'm a bit underwhelmed to be honest, first test I imagine will line up as follows:
Crawley Duckett Pope Root Brook Stokes Smith (wk) Woakes Atkinson/Bashir (depending on the pitch) Pennington Anderson

We have two home series that we really ought to be able to win but once Anderson has gone, our bowling attack looks very weak. What sort of bowler is Pennington? I'm not familiar with him. Looks like the end of the road for Bairstow and Foakes.

Pennington seems to be in decent form.
Smith at least is keeps the Surrey quota. Feel for Foakes. Gotta think it just won't happen for him.

Ollie Robinson very unfortunate not to be included. He’s scored more runs at a better average than Smith and is apparently a much better keeper.

Worcs 112 all out Middlesbrough 86 all out Northants 97 all out Derbyshire 76 all out

They've been absolutely shocking this season he'll do well to keep his job at this rate.......

Any insights on Smith, don't know anything about him? Is it any surprise that Bairstow gets dropped?
