Have been surprised at how effective Cartwright has been with the ball so far

He's a dobbler. It's early season England.

Yeah true, it's not like the Middlesex new ball bowlers are really any quicker

Hopefully he abandons his s**thouse batting and just becomes a seamer for Middlesex.
He'll end the season with a better bowling average, I just know it.

Did I read somewhere that Mark Wood was back too?
If so I hope he gives Ed Smith something to think about

Yes. He got sick of bench warming in the IPL. You have to assume they'll play the full contingent of seamers available v Derbyshire: Wood, Weighell, Rimmington and Dixon. Rimmington and Dixon were both Western Australia team mates.

We had him on our books for a brief moment.

Stoneman fails again.
Not many of the players in and around the test side scoring runs this season.

I'd say Jake Ball-esque at present. Wide off the crease and swings the ball away at decent pace(85 mph). Was a little steve harmison like when he debuted in the u19s with the long arms and legs flailing around but more controlled now.

Gubbins gets some runs here and he must be in with a chance of taking stoneman or vince's spot.

Yeah, plenty of spots open in the batting. Would say only Cook, Root, Malan, Bairstow and Stokes are certain to play in the test and presume the other 2 spots are up for anybody.
Same with the bowling really as only Anderson and Broad are certain along with Stokes as the 5th bowler. 4 spots that could go to any combination of about 10 players.

Coad rested because of fatigue. Makes you wonder if that is so he is fresh for a test match coming soon?
SeamUp
International Coach
With the walking wounded it seems like outside Woakes it is only Coad, Porter, COverton, Ball. At least there is something to monitor at Warks with Brookes & Stone.

I can't see it personally - although who knows what ed smith is thinking.. Just too slowish (and lacking lions experience) especially with Anderson still around. I think he started the season injured so they are probably just being careful.
Wicket at the oval looks a lot rougher than normal. Probably trying to make it more bowler friendly following last weeks worcester game.

Wicketless and going at just under 4 an over. He is back.
