No Archer?

Bess is a offspinning all-rounder from Sidmouth in Devon. He signed a scholarship contract with Somerset, having joined the club's academy when he was 16 and has represented England Under-19s. Hundreds in the 2nd XI showed that he could hold a bat, too. He also spent the 2015-16 winter at Darren Lehmann's Adelaide academy. His explanation as to how he came to bowl offspin was a diverting one. "I was always a little porker when I was younger, so I never took the long run-up," he said. "I always took five or six steps and just trotted in."

Guess they didn't feel it was their Bess team.

Bess is serious talent. From his debut, you could see that. Lance Gibbs like, that lad.

That may be so, but the Sri Lankan batsmen were generous in donating their wickets to Bess....

Ok, if he's in the company of Stokes, then the rest must be well earned.
