With Mark Footitt earning his place in England’s Test team to South Africa, it seems that the county system is in a good position for getting the country’s brightest talent to the forefront of the game.
But are there some gems yet to be polished? County fans had their say on who they think should be part of cricket’s elite.
Ben Stokes, Graham Onions and Mark Wood are just a few of Durham’s recent international games, so it’s not surprising to see a few more Chester-le-Street hats thrown into the ring, with one opener standing out in particular.

@deepextra_cover Mark Stoneman deserves a go. And Steven Davies deserves to come back as a batsman.

Lancashire’s Alex Davies was also given a mention, with the batsman ‘liking’ the suggestion on social media.

Even DEC’s very own writers and editors couldn’t resist their getting views across.

@deepextra_cover Jim Allenby before he betrayed me and moved to Somerset. Cuts so deep.
