So would I. Seam bowling is boring in comparison, but oh so in vogue.

I immediately thought he was showing intent to impress McCullum.

He was trying to earn the right to be aggressive.

Depends on the ball, the surface and the batsmen.

Guess it depends who is close to London and can get there by tea.

Would be such a typical England move to bring in Liam Dawson.

I mean, it moves later so probably is when there's seam on offer, but I find it hideous and dull and swing bowling is my favourite thing in cricket so I'm going to say swing is better.

Well it may just be a call up for this match as they are near to London. Parkinson has to play next test.

And with that overturned decision Potts' average increases 50%.
Really? Isn't seam harder in general anyway for most bats? Later movement off the pitch should be difficult to play I would have thought regardless, especially in England.

You need a responsive pitch for it whereas with swing you can sometimes take the pitch out of the equation, ala loads of good to great Pakistani bowlers. But yeah, later movement harder to play I would have thought. It's just boring, aesthetically shite and a far easier skill to master.

Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of focusing on T20 dribble for 2 years and shortening the FC season to save money.
Who is enforcing standards in this team? You're paid more than 98% of the population to have one of the best jobs in the world.
Stead out. White out.
England have been excellent. They've been on the money almost every over.

Phil Tufnell is great mates with Barrie Mac, maybe he’ll get the call up
Oh I get the pitch stuff but I'd have thought in general seam > swing when both are in play. England especially should since their two best do both.
