Top 5 Best figures for England on Test debut :

DG Cork 7/43 vs WI @Lords_1995
AAP Atkinson 7/45 vs WI @Lords_2024
JK Lever 7/46 vs IND @Delhi_1976
AV Bedser 7/49 vs IND @Lords_1946
J.Langridge 7/56 vs WI @ Old Trafford 1933

Interesting that only Bedser ever made it as a world class bowler out of those 4

Edit: previous 5th best was Tom Hartley's 7-62 and he just got dropped, so this could be a curse

Yeah its odd he doesnt get a look in, especially as Stokes is his teamate. Maybe they think Smith is better keeper, though it
seems strange as hes only a partimer for Surrey compared to full time specialist Olly Durham.

I’m happy as a Durham fan but the lad has been brilliant for Durham this summer

Where is sinclair for the windiest? Forget his bowling, he's one of the best red ball bats in the carribean. Was crucial to windies winning that test vs Aus on debut, has dominated for WI-A and top scored the latest windies 4 day comp.

They preferred Motie over Sinclair because of the variety and probably considered the number of RHBs in England's lineup. Hodge also bowls.

The discussion shouldn't be about motie vs sinclair as bowlers, no? Sinclair is the best red ball bat in the carribean right now, he should be playing over hodge.

Hodge in the recent 4 day comp:334 runs @37
Sinclair: 508 runs @63

Hodge vs Australia:115 @29
Sinclair: 64 @64
