Instead, they say, he's been 'sensibly' soaking up the atmosphere at Lords, having only ever played there before in a Hundredth game. Not so sure about that, really..... if he's never played red ball cricket there before, then surely the 'sensible' thing to do would be to find out what it's like to bowl there competitively, not work through a few things with Killer. The test match is 2 weeks away yet and I'm as sure as I can be that Potts will get the nod over Overton for the first test.
It feels like a missed opportunity to me......... unless they feel that he is at risk of injury, and they would surely only feel that if he was carrying some kind of niggle
