England mismanaging fast bowlers? Surely not

agreed... that surely almost never happens

Jamie Overton being tipped to replace Ben Stokes in england's t20 world cup squad....intresting move this, are we at a point now where Overton is more of a batsman who bowls now? Granted i haven;t seen much of Surrey in red ball last few years but in white ball he tends to bat middle order and rarely bowls his full quota....I would have thought he couldn't have been far away from the test side with all injuries we have to the quicks, but is he now becoming a white ball middle order hitter who can contribute a few handy overs?

Still saddens me that Jimmy will call it a day this summer....Yes it's the right call and probably should have been done last summer, but there's no disputing how he stayed commited got even fitter and clearly wanted to stay in the side! Farewell Jimmy thanks for the memories!
