Quite a small sample size for the later two though obviously. Have a read of Aggers’ latest column, in which he sums up my thoughts on Woakes right now (in this format and in India) better than I did. One nugget: Woakes has bowled 11 overs in powerplays so far - two of those games were against Bangladesh and Afghanistan - and taken 1-95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every chance yesterday was his last ODI and that’s fine, but he’s been a brilliant player in the format. And as everyone knows, in test cricket it’s undeniable that’s he’s close to useless outside England, but I don’t feel it’s in any way fair for this criticism to also be labelled at him in ODIs.

We need to drop Woakes as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An absolutely fabulous cricketer and you have to admire his talent and determination but I find it impossible to warm to him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
