Waheey. Got him next ball.

Woakes excellent today. 3 wickets and 2 put down

 

[Ajm1985]

Hahahaha

He was so fucking annoyed and still nearly dropped it

 

[Scottyboi]

Yes I know but why “shoes off”, any particular reason?

For the banta, remember villa doing it at the etihad was just as shit then.

Johnny Bairstow is a clown

What’s the point in Ali?

Aussies questioning did he have full control before throwing ball on floor

The real disappointment about the dropped catches is the big hole it puts in our (already slim) chances of regaining the ashes. Looking at the forecast for the next 4 days there looks likely to be a lot of play list to rain, so our main chance of winning was to get them out for 150, which at 97 for 6 would have been very possible. Getting a win if they get 300+ is going to be really tricky given the forecast rain. Catches win matches. Well done Wood, I hope he can bowl more overs in the second innings

Nice one Wood!

 

[Iamthemusicman]

If we get Carey out can we pretend to reverse the appeal for a laugh?

 

[Ajm1985]

Mark Wood, superb

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Stop trying to be all things Nasser.
You are the Tim Henman and Michael Owen of cricket. Boring c#nt.

Feels like this went from a brilliant opportunity to a middling-to-below average overall performance in the space of one afternoon session. And mostly down to the catching.

 

[M18CTID]

Boom!

 

[Cricket Blue]

WTF just happened we were in the ropes

 

[Ric]

This is brilliant from Wood.

 

[domalino]

Mark Wood, superb

My favourite active England cricketer. We'd be 2-0 up if he'd started the series fit.

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Beautiful sight….

 

[BringBackSwales]

Does anyone have the stats for how many (or few) overs Wood and Woakes bowled in the afternoon session?
