ralphindevon Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 Well a couple of overs ago I was thinking how Woods figures didn’t do him justice, that’s looking better and he deserves the last for five. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 From cric info It's a fair point Shaheer: "Woakes has a batting average of over 35 and bowling average under 23 in 26 Home Tests. How is he not an automatic starter in England?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 Brilliant from Wood, but how much better would that score look if we could catch. Now a nasty couple of hours to see how many wickets we can hold on to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a similar comment somewhere else, really felt Woakes should have played at Lords, admittedly wasn't sure on Wood partly being on his fitness but if he was ready to bowl like that then I'm surprised he wasn't brought in.

They said he wasn't ready last week. And if he had played there, he probably wouldn't be playing here. And that's the problem, he's outstanding but he needs wrapping in cotton wool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) Unbelievable pace bowling from Wood. If only Bairstow and Root took two dollies and Australia would be well and truly on the ropes. Edit: McGrath just said on TMS that Australia would’ve got 120 max if those two chances were taken. Hard to argue with that.

But seriously, if he gets through this test it will be interesting to see if he's fit for the 4th test. Many comments on commentary today about the hardness of the ground at Headingley so let's hope he doesn't jar something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
