But his performances on the pitch are doing more of the talking. Dernbach took 4-22, the joint-best figures by any England bowler in Twenty20 cricket, to beat India in the shortest form of
the game on Wednesday. And with 11 wickets in his first six one-dayers, Dernbach’s variation has at last given England belief that they have someone good enough to bowl at the end of an
innings, not seen since the days of Darren Gough and Andrew Flintoff. “I have honed my skills at Surrey, so now I am able to do it on an international stage,” said Dernbach. “It is not easy
bowling at the death but the more you do it, the more adept you become. I really thrive in that situation now.” Dernbach, 25, is now looking ahead to the five-match ODI series, which starts
in Durham tomorrow. “India are world champions and they will want to bounce back,” he said. “But if we can continue to play as we are then it will be hard for them.” He added: “It’s a dream
of mine to play Test cricket. If I can continue putting in the performances then I will be there or thereabouts.”
