I know from my experience with Graham Gooch at Essex that having the England captain in your side can be a double-edged sword.
They see the good side of you and also the bad side.
But when you are getting 35 wickets in the first six games of the season at 18 apiece, including seven-for in your last game, as Matty Potts has done at Durham with Ben Stokes standing at mid-off or slip, it cannot do your chances any harm.
Matty Potts is the most in-form bowler in the County Championship ahead of first Test match
England are absolutely right to pick the County Championship’s in-form bowler for the first Test against New Zealand and I think he will play at Lord’s, not only because he’s good enough but because so many bowlers are missing.
It’s a great opportunity for Potts and from what I’ve seen of him he keeps his speeds up throughout a game, which is something that has been lacking from Ollie Robinson in his short time as an England bowler.
Not that I
