But what a debut from Corbin Bosch. 5-61 in the first innings with the ball, he bowls genuinely quick. 81* off 93 in the second innings with the bat. Surprised he’s taken this long to play test cricket.27 Dec 2024 20:46 +0000at://did:plc:nufgnp3bhtmlc3m3kqmw5cfb/app.bsky.feed.post/3lecubfnlrc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/joenuttall9.bsky.social/post/3ldwikyvpyk2aSaim Ayub is a star in the making. His record in the ODI series vs. South Africa was: 235 runs @ 78.33 with 2 centuries and a highest score of 109. A dynamic opener, classic left-handed elegance thought the covers and can score 360°. A superb prospect in all 3 formats!22 Dec 2024 22:45 +0000at://did:plc:nufgnp3bhtmlc3m3kqmw5cfb/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldwikyvpyk2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/joenuttall9.bsky.social/post/3ldvcvsoz622lEngland’s Champions Trophy squad has been announced!

He’s been given a more senior role and stepped up superbly today, with 64 off 51 balls batting 3 and taking 1/18 off 2 obers.

This likely means: 1. There were not enough openers on the tour, maybe there are no openers the ECB rate OR 2. The ECB think Rew's best chance of getting into the test side is as an opener OR 3. It could be a coincidence12 Dec 2024 10:43 +0000at://did:plc:nufgnp3bhtmlc3m3kqmw5cfb/app.bsky.feed.post/3ld43lq7uak2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/joenuttall9.bsky.social/post/3lcxf4x5f6s2aFergus O’Neill is Notts-bound!
