Matthew Potts impresses on his first overseas Test appearance
Potts actually out-bowled Anderson on debut, taking 4 for 13 in New Zealand’s first innings at Lord’s to help get the new regime of coach
Yet an analysis of one for 36 was encouraging and promises much, especially given this was a pitch that was deemed to be so skewed towards spin by the hosts that they selected seven men who could bowl it in their XI for this match. The dates for that eagerly-anticipated series Down Under will be released on Tuesday night. Yet the chances of everybody being fit for it are slim. International sport is often about the survival of the fittest and in Potts, England have a bowler who is likely to be fit and ready to play when others have fallen by the wayside.
Getting an older ball to swing is a tough skill to master but Potts credits his time in India for helping him to develop that skill.“It’s about implementing those ideas here, having good conversations with people with a lot of experience – the likes of Chris Woakes and James Anderson. I’ve had great conversations with them.”
