btw I read earlier that Philander has signed a three-year Kolpak deal with Somerset. Has anyone else heard that one?
He is almost certainly going kolpak, and yes I read that Somerset was the front runner... not sure if final decision made/contract signed.

Archer should be bowling now. A contest and taking an ego hit is what fires him up.

This partnership is well past 'slightly frustrating' and into 'properly annoying'.
Imagine this but it's a plucky tailender in his debut series doing it in every innings. ****ing Sam Curran. Didn't even do well for me in the CWPL either the ****.

Does not look like it... make more sense of the selection and why Eng went in with 4 seamers and no spinner.
Yeah for mine this team is absolutely stupid if Stokes is fit to bowl, but if he's not I would've picked the exact same team.

There is a third possibility though -- that he's perfectly fit to bowl and they've just decided not to bowl him anyway to let him focus on batting or something. Which is even stupider IMO.

Archer is already only in the team for what he might do rather than what he actually does. Another wretched performance so far.
