sonny jumping over “the ditch”

News has just reached the club that after playing for England in ODIs and T20s in New Zealand, Sonny Baker will be jumping over “The Ditch” (Aussie slang for the Tasman Sea) to play for the England Lions in Australia.  The Lions are shadowing the Ashes squad and who would put money on against either Archer and / or Wood breaking down!  Also according to the BBC Sport website, “[Baker] is set to be awarded a central contract for the upcoming year when England announce a new list of players in the coming days.” If correct it will be a first for Devon as neither Overton have ever had a full Central England Contract nor has Dom Bess.

Good Luck Sonny
