Chris Jordan at 8 first test against sri lanka as the 3rd seamer.. yes or no?

For me, he is a must..

I would have thought so. Probably Woakes and Finn are the likeliest other possibilities.

Onions seems to be waning, in spite of his ghost haunting the winter Ashes tour. Bresnan isn't really standing out in Yorkshire's attack. Plunkett's feels a bit fanciful. Mills is an injured long shot.

Broad may not make it. More difficult to say who will take his place.

There are better than him, Will Gidman and Roland-Jones spring to mind.

Shouldn't be picked for a test based on his ODI form, ala Morgan.

Bresnan

by **hopeforthebest** » Sun Jun 01, 2014 11:44 pm

Fine prospect but still work in progress. Another being hyped up but too early.

Reece Topley!

With Swann retired and Bresnan at a lowish ebb, I wonder if they'll look at someone who can at least bat a bit. They won't want to add another specialist to Monty/Kerrigan (if selected) and Anderson.

Will Gidman, averages 35 with the bat and under 21 with the ball.

If he played for a 'popular' county he'd be a dead cert.

He's not going to be picked is he. He'd have figured for the Lions if he was close.

If Foster plays, the batting of the other seamer becomes more of a factor.

Stokes
Foster
Broad
Bowler who doesn't bat
Anderson
Panesar/Kerrigan

Can't see it. I suppose they could do without a spinner. But I hope not.

I don't recall Nick Compton playing for the Lions

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 12:27 am

He did. Not as much as Taylor and Woakes.

by **SaintPowelly** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 12:38 am

Gary Ballance has never played for the Lions.

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 12:41 am

Ballance has played for the Lions more than Compo.

Nope, never played a FC game for the Lions.

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 12:57 am

He's played quite a few games. Maybe not fc, but I think he went on that tour Stokes was sent back from. Got a feeling he played a limited overs game last summer. It shows he's in the thoughts of the selectors. Development squads are an indicator too. You can come from leftfield. But it's rare.
