Good opportunity for Potts after a promising last Summer. He's started the season well, so should be in good nick. There's a good chance he'll play at some point in the Ashes, as it's probably not likely Anderson/Broad/Robinson will play every Test. Tongue ahead of Woakes is interesting, but maybe it's just a one-off horses for courses to get a look at Tongue - impressed with the Lions last year. Not exactly in good CC form though. Sam Cook unlucky as always.

Was talking a side with a few more county guys available. Same reason they had little.

Broad getting pasted so far by this renowned Ireland line up. Looks old and stiff as a board. Appropriate the advertising boards are for Radox.
And he’s the younger of the two bowling hopes for the Ashes. Grim times indeed for Team England. 4-0 Aus looking a conservative call on my part based on this 17 minute showing from the home side.

I just don't get the logic not playing Woakes.
Surely getting him back into the swing of test cricket is a better thing than having a look at Tongue.
If Tongue is viewed as a Wood backup I doubt he's going to be anywhere near as quick.
Surely nobody has better all round averages from as 5+ tests at Lord's

Had to give up Irish cricket a couple of years ago because ECB rules meant that he would have to play as an "overseas" player for Middlesex. He chose to keep Middlesex contract because it was worth more money for him than Ireland contract. I personally think ECB was wrong as in no other sector of employment in the UK (due to the Common Travel Area agreement) are you allowed to disenfranchise Irish Citizens from being able to pursue employment opportunities.
On to the game, early wicket but not much movement at an overcast Lord's.
