Potts, Atkinson Signal A New Era For England’s Bowling Attack, Says Nasser Hussain
Sky Sports News: Former England cricketer Nasser Hussain believes that England’s fast bowling future looks bright, with Matthew Potts and Gus Atkinson showcasing their skills on the opening day of the third Test against New Zealand in Hamilton. The duo claimed three wickets each, reducing New Zealand to 315-9 by stumps, sending a strong message about life after James Anderson.
Durham pacer Potts made an impactful return to the side, replacing Chris Woakes for the final Test. Meanwhile, Atkinson continued his stellar debut year, reaching a remarkable milestone of 50 Test wickets in just 10 matches.
Hussain was effusive in his praise for Potts, describing the 26-year-old as a bowler who thrives under pressure and consistently delivers for his team. “Potts has got a big heart, big character, and a lot of skill. He gets good players out,” Hussain told Sky Sports News. "I think that's four times in five innings now he's got Kane Williamson out. England needed to dig deep in that middle session and Potts epitomised that.
