Woakes should play every game at home for England. And have his passport burnt
tbh he's had the curse of playing at the same time as broad and anderson for his whole career. Otherwise i'm sure he'd have been a mainstay for years.
The sad thing about that is that this could this be our
greatest bowler of all time's final ever Test or even professional cricket
match. His line and length is still very much there but he really does look
laboured at times and not the bowler who always had the ball on a string. With 3-255 in the Series and hitting 41
in 11 days time, unless things seriously change for him in this game, he won't be picked for the
final match. Will he want to go on another tour or even be selected to do so? I
also really can't see him doing a Cook and doing the CC circuit.

think he's looked a lot more threatening today tbh.

We don't have any test matches this winter do we?
Tour India in Jan/Feb 2024 for a 5 match series. Dates to be confirmed.
Would love to see a graphic of Jimmy's swing movement off the straight this summer compared to previous summers. Is he getting the same movement and just being unlucky or is he putting it in the right places but his magic has gone?

Telling imo that Stokes is using Anderson alongside Moeen with the new ball only 7 overs away. Suggests he wont be given a go with the new balls. Looks like it'll be Broad and Wood with the new cherry.
As I type Woakes is on for Jimmy. Still think he wont be given the new ball.

At Lord's the showed that he was getting significantly less movement then previous summers. You would think his pace and stamina would go before the skill?
I think he has bowled significantly better than his numbers suggest.

Not confirmed yet. But I believe West Indies.
West Indies is just white ball tour November / December.
We have tests in India in January.
Was hoping to go to South Africa again as we did in 2016 and 2020 so pinned hopes on going again in 2024 but they’re going to India instead and SA tour is not till 2026!

Difficult to call. Due to potential weather disruption I can see England trying to go full on Bazball when batting to try and put a big score on the board think they might not get much of a second innings tomorrow could be interesting
