As someone who only really watches international cricket - what is the obsession with Jamie Overton? Every time he plays for England he looks miles off it

I rest my case

I can only assume it's because he can reach up to 90mph.

No good though if you have no consistency / accuracy

Often outnumbered, never outgunned.

Woakes out. That’s crushing. This match will be lost as India will post a high second innings score.

On the bright side, we'll get to see more of Harry Brook's bowling.

Atkinson seems allright.  5 for 33.

Let's hope we can bat long enough to give him a decent rest as he's going to be bowling a lot of overs in the next innings

Every time I think I'm done with Crawley he drags me back in.

Such a fun player to watch.

I understand the clamor to drop him when it rears its head, he can be so frustrating. But he’s clearly very good. I don’t know if it’s a mental thing for him, if so you’d hope that’s something that can be fixed and he can become more consistent.  

I literally went to TMS after writing that to see he’s been dismissed.

Sorry.

He just can't seem to convert these rapid starts into 100's.

That was another crap dismissal.

Thing is, even if you get lucky and replace him with an opener who can average 10 more in an innings, at what cost does that come with if it makes duckett easier to bowl at as a consequence?

Crawley is also a good fielder and slip catcher.

It's just not worth replacing him unless the upgrade is significant.

That's Joverton's test average of 97 bollocksed. Looks like being a one innings game unless Brook does something special here, and England are a player down...
