Somehow we've got guys there who are averaging 22 and 23 with the ball.

Josh Tong and even Atkinson, who has somehow been dragged into the Stokes, despite being the most mild-mannered man ever.

He's the guy just sort of wandering around with a book at the hotel pool in a pair of Birkenstocks.

I don't really know what he's doing mixed up in this at all.

But England have good seamers.

And it looked a really good attack with Robinson in that.

He will be back.

And I think they'll polish off New Zealand in the next test, probably.

Although New Zealand will be a bit better because they've had some practice now.

I think Sonny Baker comes in.

He's a really... I don't know if you've seen much of him, but he's...

He's kind of a nerd.

He's one of these nerds, sort of self-coaching.

But you know what I mean, like a self-coaching cricketer.

He seems really bright.

He does stuff like shift the positioning of the spikes on his boots because he's worked out that's going to be better for him.

He watched a load of videos of Brett Lee and worked out what his run-up should be and hasn't changed it since then.

And I think that might be the future of cricket, these kind of slightly self-propelling and nerdish athletes who don't need hundreds of coaches to look after them.

And he's really quick as well.

He bowls, you know, 90 miles an hour plus, you know, 150 kph.
