Hill later recalled, "We actually didn't know too much about him and to many people's surprise he wasn't a sports scholar.

Playing style and records

Bowling technique and strengths

Gus Atkinson is a right-arm fast bowler known for his ability to generate speeds up to 95 mph, particularly in shorter formats, while maintaining an average pace around 87-90 mph in Test cricket. His technique features a straight run-up and an upright action that allows for a high release point, contributing to his effectiveness on various pitches. Standing at 6 ft 2 in, Atkinson leverages his height to extract significant bounce, often targeting a full length to induce edges through seam movement. Key strengths in Atkinson's bowling include his accuracy with seam-up deliveries, where he can move the ball away from right-handed batsmen via conventional seam, and his developing proficiency in reverse swing, which has been honed for overseas conditions. He employs variations such as yorkers and bouncers to disrupt , with a high arm action facilitating subtle deviations both ways, including inswing and leg-cutters that nip back into the batsman. This combination of pace, bounce, and control makes him particularly threatening on seaming tracks, where his front-on alignment aids in consistent line and length. Prior to his international debut, Atkinson's training emphasized balancing raw pace with control, drawing from his rapid rise in domestic and franchise where shorter spells allowed bursts of high speed. Following his 2024 exposure, he adapted by focusing on sustaining quicker paces over longer periods, refining his endurance to bowl effectively in extended spells without compromising accuracy. Atkinson's style draws comparisons to mentor James Anderson, sharing the same height and a debut context, though Atkinson favors a more front-on approach with cross-seam grips for added seam variation, contrasting Anderson's side-on precision. This evolution positions him as a modern successor, blending explosive pace with tactical seam movement.

Batting at No. 8, he entered with England at 138 for 7 and forged a crucial 161-run partnership with Joe Root (143), propelling the team to 427 all out and securing a dominant position in the match. This innings, the sixth-fastest Test century at Lord's, marked him as the first England player to score a hundred from No. 8 or lower in over a decade, underscoring his growing impact as an all-rounder. In , Atkinson's contributions have been consistent in utility, with 380 runs scored in 13 matches at an average of 22.35 and a of 77.6, his century remaining the standout performance amid several quick cameos. Across limited-overs internationals, he has added 104 runs in 11 ODIs at an average of 17.33 (highest 38) and 10 runs in 4 T20Is at an average of 10.00, often using his aggressive style to counter-attack in partnerships that aid England's balance.
