ENGLAND TEST SUMMER PLAYER RATINGS: Gus Atkinson showed he belonged at this level, but which star must do better? And who has done his selection chances more harm than good?

Daily Mail  

England's 2024 Test summer ended in disappointing fashion with an embarrassing eight-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka at The Oval on Monday. England ended the Test summer in frustrating fashion with an embarrassing loss to Sri Lanka They still won five of their six Tests and won series against both the West Indies and Sri Lanka Several extremely promising young players like Jamie Smith emerged over the summer Gus Atkinson 9 - 34 wkts at 20.17, 202 runs at 25.25 Took a 12-for on debut, against West Indies at Lord’s, and finished with more wickets than any other bowler in their first Test summer. Gus Atkinson enjoyed a dream debut summer as he took 34 Test wickets across six matches Joe Root had a prolific time as he scored three centuries and often looked in a class of his own Mark Wood 8 - 11 wickets at 22.45, 35 runs at 11.66 There was no more thrilling sight all summer than Wood charging in and cranking up the speedgun, sometimes beyond 97mph. Shoaib Bashir 7 - 15 wkts at 36.06, 21 runs at 4.20 Skittled West Indies to wrap up the second Test at Trent Bridge, and showed real control during Sri Lanka’s first innings in Manchester. Jimmy Anderson signed off from Test cricket amid emotional scenes at Lord’s after 188 games Ollie Pope scored two hundreds, but struggled to escape scrutiny as a No 3 and also as skipper Ben Stokes 7 - 192 runs at 48.00, 5 wkts at 34.20 Rediscovered some of his all-round chutzpah against West Indies, only to injure his hamstring during The Hundred and miss the series against Sri Lanka.
