Cricket: After a purple patch of form, Sam Cook has been flagged as a potential replacement in the England Test side for James Anderson.
Stuart Broad and James Anderson , having announced their retirements within a ten-month window, have left a 1304-wicket hole in England ’s Test side.
“There’s going to certainly be a huge hole left by Jimmy Anderson that someone is going to have to step into. And not just by swinging the new ball, but by communicating, by keeping calm if the boundaries are leaking, by tactically being aware of what field works at certain grounds, and on certain pitches and certain times of Test matches.
Since making his debut for Essex in 2017, Cook has won the County Championship on two occasions, the Bob Willis Trophy, the Twenty20 Blast and The Hundred.Cook’s red-ball numbers are difficult to ignore, but McCullum and managing director Rob Key have repeatedly voiced their desire for speed in the national side’s bowling attack.
“ want guys to bowl at a higher pace and that’s what I’m going to try and do, but I’ve always said I’m very conscious of not going away from what I do well and how I’ve taken my wickets so far.With one eye on next year’s Ashes tour, England introduced the Kookaburra for the opening two rounds of the County Championship to help identify the seamers that don’t rely on the Dukes ball’s extravagant movement.
