Good signing, not quite good enough to be an England regular but a star performing in county cricket.

Logical step...if he can stay fit and firing the cannons down at 90mph+ he will get his England chance. Good on him taking the gamble. Was playing league cricket in derby not so long ago

bit of a surprise that, good signing thou. Not sure this is 100 per cent right but believe he has had back problems which probably put him back a couple of years.

England are not blessed with 90mph bowling so not too late to play for England. Shows a lot of ambition.

Couldn't believe he didn't go out to the UAE instead of Jordan, was seriously impressed seeing him bowl this season. As Rob Key was saying on Sky today - proper bowler!
