It must be very tempting to keep him on for a long stretch, he'll terrify anyone he faces. But we need to look after him. His injury record in his career is up and down. Short spells at a time (7 or 8 overs) would be enough.

I doubt he'll do more than 4 at a time so he can bowl several times a day and will be fit for the rest of the series. 7 or 8 will ruin him.

Too many Jim imho.
Great couple of wickets this morning and Woods was a right Jaffa.

Yeah, you're the second to pull me up on it. With hindsight, it probably would be too much in one go.

Please excuse my ignorance but what is a 'right Jaffa'. If it is a swear word or rude don't worry but I've been racking my brain for an explanation. :-) (Sorry)

It’s neither Eccles. It just means a brilliant delivery but don’t know the origins.

Very English phenomenon to have a wicket keeper who can’t catch

Puts it into perspective, barely see it once it's left his hand.

Agreed, we also need him to expose new batsmen at the crease, make them work for it, make them play. We just need another wicket taker! Or a bit of luck

Well done Woakes.
