James Vince interview: Repeated attacks on my home forced me and my family out

Exclusive: A case of mistaken identity has led to the life of the former England batsman being turned upside down

Moving out of the country citing the attacks as the reason. Stepped down as Hampshire captain for the county championship and will only play white ball cricket for them.

I like how Cricinfo's piece mused that he was perhaps unlikely to add to his 13 Test caps. Last played one nearly 7 years ago.

Just met Jamie Overton. Nice guy and he’s flipping huge.

You have to admire our commitment to picking an unbalanced One Day side.

 

[Stan Hullis]

Overton somehow still getting a gig

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I do marginally prefer him to Curran if we must insist on picking someone who can neither bowl nor bat.

 

[Tredman]

It was only the big bash but Overton did both pretty well last week.

Good to see Archer with some good figures, pretty dire otherwise.

Ashes going to be o. TNT which is a right pisser

The away series? Same as the last two.

 

[Tony Towner]

Yeah, I know but Sky thought they would given the Big Bash investment

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

it will be the same channel 9 coverage bar those in the studio

 

[Tony Towner]

Overton at number 7 this series
Faced 12 balls, scored 7 runs, out 3 times.

 

[Tredman]

And he's saved the series so far with his bowling

 

[Tony Towner]

Then pick him as a bowler, not a batsman that bowls a few overs

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hmm
We won?
