石/投石する me, England have 設立する a real quick! It's been a blistering start for new boy Olly on 小旅行する of Sri Lanka

  • England may have 位置を示すd the final piece of their World Cup jigsaw
  • Olly 石/投石する 発表するd himself in Dambulla as a 急速な/放蕩な bowler of real 可能性のある
  • He 解任するd Niroshan Dickwella with just his seventh international ball?

It may be a little premature to get carried away on the 支援する of one 極端に 早い, 近づく unplayable 配達/演説/出産 but England may have 位置を示すd the final piece of their World Cup jigsaw in the middle of the Sri Lankan rain forest.

For it was there in Dambulla that Olly 石/投石する 発表するd himself on Saturday as a 急速な/放蕩な bowler of real 可能性のある and pedigree with only his seventh international ball for England.

The 配達/演説/出産 in question was perfectly 目的(とする)d, short and 残虐な and was 長,率いるing に向かって Niroshan Dickwella's 長,率いる before the Sri Lankan opener fended it off with his glove straight up in the 空気/公表する for Jos Buttler to jog in and collect.

England may have unearthed the final piece of their World Cup jigsaw in shape of Olly Stone

England may have 明らかにするd the final piece of their World Cup jigsaw in 形態/調整 of Olly 石/投石する

Stone took his first wicket for England with just his seventh delivery in international cricket

石/投石する took his first wicket for England with just his seventh 配達/演説/出産 in international cricket

It was only a small moment in the 状況 of a second one-day international that saw a 支配的な England take a 1-0 lead with three games to play, 結局 with the help of the Duckworth-吊りくさび-厳しい 計算/見積り.


But the wider 関わりあい/含蓄 could be that England have identified the 行方不明の X-factor not only in 50-over cricket while they build に向かって a World Cup they will 行う/開催する/段階 next summer but on slow, unresponsive pitches in all 判型s.

If 石/投石する can produce that sort of 敵意 on a moribund surface in Sri Lanka then England will hope he can replicate it around the world.

'Olly bowled 正確に/まさに like he has in the 逮捕するs and warm-up game and that's a good 調印する,' said captain Eoin Morgan, who made a nonsense of his own pre-series suggestion that his World Cup place may come under scrutiny with 9 2 in England's 278 for nine.?

'He has pace and got the ball moving and it was all done with a 静める 長,率いる.

'I don't think you can 無視(する) Olly from the World Cup bas ed on today. And the fact he bowls with the new ball gives him an extra string to his 屈服する.'

石/投石する 借りがあるd his 適切な時期, of course, to the absence of Liam Plunkett, who was getting married on Saturday.

Plunkett has been one of England's best one-day bowlers of the last two years and prefers to operate with an old ball, meaning there should be room for both him and 石/投石する if, crucially, both stay fit over the next eight months.

Instead it is the man who once was considered that X-factor himself in 示す 支持を得ようと努めるd who will find his place in England's 50-over starting line-up in jeopardy unless he can relocate the extra yard of pace 傷害s appear to have cost him.

It appeared 重要な that 支持を得ようと努めるd 行方不明になるd out on Saturday when England, who won by 31 runs after Chris Woakes had taken three Sri Lankan wickets, fielded a third spinner in Liam Dawson.

支持を得ようと努めるd may be working with bowling coach Chris Silverwood on lengthening his run-up to 回復する his 阻止する but the fact remains that unless he can bowl at 90 miles per hour he does not do enough with the ball at the highest level.

石/投石する, too, knows all about 傷害s and is aware he will have to, at just turned 25, stay fully fit to fulfil his 可能性のある having 戦う/戦いd 支援する from a 潜在的に career ending 膝 problem two years ago.

'I've tried this year to go a little bit up and 負かす/撃墜する through the gears to try and look after my 団体/死体 because I've had a few 傷害s,' said 石/投石する after his first bowl in international cricket.?

'I've just tried to 人物/姿/数字 out when to go all guns 炎ing and when to 持つ/拘留する 支援する a bit. That has been something to work on.

'But it is always nice to see the batsmen ducking and 飛び込み. It was good to come in and show what I can do.?

It appeared significant that Mark Wood missed out as England chose a third spinner instead

'In a game 状況/情勢 I try to bowl as quickly as I can, 粉砕する that length and see if anything comes of it.'?

Becoming England's not so secret 武器 was certainly a long way off when 石/投石する 決裂d cruciate ligaments in his 権利 膝 in freak fashion celebrating taking the wicket of Moeen for Northants against Worcestershire in 2016.

'It's been crazy,' said the man who rebuilt his career at Warwickshire. 'When I got 負傷させるd if someone had told me I would have been playing for England two and a half years later I would have snapped their 手渡す off.?

'It has been a whirlwind few months and this is a dream come true. I'm loving it.

'I'd love to get to the World Cup,' he said. 'I (機の)カム on this 小旅行する not really knowing what to 推定する/予想する but the boys have been 広大な/多数の/重要な and I've been able to put one foot in the door.'
