Stone can prove he deserves a place in England's Ashes bowling attack - starting in the second Test against Sri Lanka
Stone can prove he deserves a place in England's Ashes bowling attack - starting in the second Test against Sri Lankaat Lord’s on Thursday it will have been 1,179 days since he last played Test cricket. After years of injury issues, it will be a moment for the fast bowler to savour.
Two pins were inserted to the base of Stone’s spine in what was the most serious of his medical procedures. Despite coming into the team for Wood, Stone is nowhere near as quick as the man whose fastest delivery this summer registered 97.1 miles per hour. But he is more akin to someone like Gus Atkinson, averaging around 87mph but occasionally being able to produce a delivery above 90mph that can provide a point of difference on flat pitches.his role is “just being aggressive”. Stone is also capable of producing more swing than Wood or Archer, something that could prove crucial to his success this week against Sri Lanka.“There’s no better feeling than trying to bowl fast so I’ll never stop doing that.
