Wtf is Woakes playing at? He needs to drop anchor and support Brook surely

Nah, let Woakes Wood Broad have a swing & Brook can anchor for now, if it gets desperate he can have a swing, he goes & we’re done

 

[trueblue1972]

What sort of fucking shot was that? To drag it on like that is due to not playing through the line of the ball, basics

It was pathetic

Should be dropped for next match. Can’t score runs or take routine catches.

Far too heavy to be a wicket keeper in my opinion.
He’s no Warren Hegg.

What the fck was that flick from Woakes

We’ve got a day and a half to win this and we play like it’s a T20 game

Mel Jones. Apparently played in 5 tests. Didn't take any wickets and averaged 35 with the bat.

Before women’s cricket was a thing anywhere except Aus

Just curious to know how she made it as a commentator, that's all.

Can’t wait for Wood to get in and then the fun will really start…

That's better than Crawley!

No Alan Knott either although Rodney Marsh had a pretty solid frame.

Whatever happens here, it's not Woakes that is at fault.

Hardly stats of an expert in every facet of the game though.

Jesus Christ who is this woman on comms.

Mel Jones, fucking awful as well as being an Aussie. I listened to DominiccVork in the T20 match the other night - passionate, experienced, knowledgable, forthright AND ENGLISH. Sky seem obsessed with shoehorning as many Australian commentators in as possible. Same on bbc radio yesterday, glen mcgrath who is as biased as they come and Jim maxwell lecturing England on having too many fielders on the boundary! It’s bad enough being humiliated by their cricketers in our own back yard but it’s too much being humiliated by their commentators as well

Useful runs from Woakes. Really need to dig in deep these two.

They’re pushing the field up to keep Woakes on strike, if he hits a few boundaries like the 3 in the last over, they have to drop back and allow the single to rotate strike.

Well; I was being nice. But yeah, you were one of them.

;-)

Is anyone really that surprised that we're doing our best to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory here?

He will be part of the problem if he doesn't use his head and play the situation and not some daft philosophy.

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Anyone who gets caught out (unless it’s behind the stumps) should never play for England again

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Woakes is hopeless against the short ball
