It is but he was in for Jimmy as a bowler and Jimmy is back.

Yes agreed just one of those things

A better time for viewers in India?

there were 1030s in 2004, and 1045s in 2003 for the benefit of the UK broadcasters, and included WI, NZ, SA an Zimbabwe. It was probably to get things over before Channel4 news etc in those days.

 

[Don Karleone]

Go on Jimmy

Looks like the right call.

why 1030 start I wonder?

The days are getting shorter and the nights are closing in…….

For subcontinent viewers. Means their viewing times are 3pm - 10pm.

Noticed a lot of Indian adverts around the ground this morning too.

 

[Don Karleone]

Should be catching that

 

[Corky]

The ECB picking 34 year old Gleeson for the T20 net practice to ensure he misses the QF for Lancs. Only 5 Lanky players in the squad

 

[andyhinch]

64-3 get Kohli out and we’re really in the box seat.

 

[Iamthemusicman]

Get in. Fuck off Kohli.

 

[Don Karleone]

Nice one Potts

Drop Crawley and play Overton as an opener!

Good day to bowl with the rain about could be a low scoring game!

Am so glad we found a new young bowler who can do the business

Potts (I'm assuming you're not on about Broad or Anderson!) looks a real prospect. Let's hope he can steer clear of injuries. We were equally excited about Jofra Archer., but he's been dogged by injuries.

Great catch by Billings

hopefully wont run him into ground like Archer was treated

Archer was flogged in all formats whereas Potts will be kept for tests only so should be fine. He's so impressive because even when not taking wickets he's always bowling a consistent line and length and creating chances. He's actually been quite unlucky to not take more wickets and yet has taken a fair few already!

When Archer came through his express pace was just what England needed in test cricket...and in ODI...and in T20s...and he was used in all and fucked as a result.

He reminds me a bit of Darren Gough. Not the tallest, but has a smooth action which is easy to repeat. Hopefully that keeps him as injury free as possible.

110/5.
Jimbo taken 3, Potts 2
