But listening to Rory Burns, the Surrey captain, talk about this last week, and I think he was one of those players who might think the way that I play wouldn't put me in the frame for this England team regardless of how many runs I score.
He said, well, actually...
Flip it the other way and they might see you bowling over on social media or play a couple of shots and you could thrust yourself right into the mix, regardless of the number that you're putting next to your name.
So he said, you know, it could actually widen the pool.
I don't know if Jacks, I would say.
I think England will be looking for a spinner.
Jacks' name is in there, but are they going to find a spinner in April?
I'm not 100% sure between now and June.
Yeah, that's right.
But of the players that could line up against New Zealand on the 4th of June,
an opener I think Jamie Smith needs a good start to the season they're trying to find a spinner and just because of how fast bowling works with Archer and Kars at the IPL and the final of that is the Sunday before that first test there's not a very long turnaround I think Steph they need to find the best tone setter with the brand new ball
And I think that could be Tom Mills, Sam Cooke.
Well, I think it was proven that the bowling in the ashes over consistency wasn't good enough.
And there's a huge amount of room for improvement to become.
If you want to become the best side in the world, which Michael said this side should aim to be, there's a massive improvement just there or then in simple terms.
Can they hold lens better?
