Woakes - announces international retirement
- Thread starter TheRey
- Start date
A player that I think in a different era would have been more appreciated, quality bowler who can genuinely bat.
Never quite understood why his overseas record is so much worse to be honest, it’s so marked
I think he will go, but that’s because the options are limited

If his record overseas was even 50% the quality of his record over here, he'd be lauded as one of out best ever all-rounders.
Sadly, overseas- and on any flat wicket - he makes Darren Stevens look international quality

He's correct imo. Woakes was OK in his prime but he's no Jimmy.
This is going one of two ways. Absolute correct or another 4 years of gyp for big J
Test wickets at 28, and runs at 26 is better than ok imo

Nasser Butt-Head
Midfield
He's been a canny player at home but this test has proved that he neither has the pace or the accuracy of swing to trouble the top batters anymore.
If he goes to Aus, we may as well hand them the ashes now.

Central Defender
He's totally undercooked - coming off the back of his latest injury with 1 red ball game before this test. He's apparently well known for starting slowly, so hopefully we'll see the best of him in the next test.
Going to be very interesting to see if Archer comes straight back in

Midfield
He was so down on pace no zip at all plus he has zero chance of going down under.
Inside Forward
Winger
Looked alright in the recent A games against India including getting Jaiswal iirc.
Pitch hasn’t helped him here. I think he’ll come good the more he plays.

Average better than Anderson and Broad………in England

In the OP's defence, I goaded him to doing it as an act of reverse-psychology
