You could make the same argument about Bairstow, came in for a game and won it for us, then dropeed.

Has woakes ever passed double figures in odi cricket? Odd decision to play him ahead of Wiley

Couldn't agree more he's shown again  out of his depth at this level

I've never rated Woakes that highly but think he is needed in this side as the only quick with decent control. Agree he hasn't delivered with the bat yet

Woakes is a talented all round player and he has done well previously.
We will need him over the next few years

[Alvaro]

Also our quickest after Wood

[Seniorplayer]

Seen to many Bits and pieces players play for England  they don't work  reckon he will fail more times than he delivers.

Bits and pieces? Lad's got a first class bowling average of 25! Also can push 90mph with good control. Don't worry about his batting, he's a decent bat but that's not why he's being picked.

I don't see the position as being Woakes v Willey anyway, I'd pick the both of them and leave Wood out, don't think he's as good a limited overs bowler.

[Seniorplayer]

Can see him being another Bopara At this level the best bowlers swing the ball around at 90 MPH and then there was the world cup fiasco.

I tend to agree with Edge, I think Wood is a great player but if England rate him so highly and with his injury record I see Willey and Woakes as a better option, I think Woakes will prove his class and Willey is a white ball machine!

not a good advertisement for gn kaboom gloves  Hopefully nothing too serious

Not sure any gloves are going to protect the palm side of the thumb at that pace

Benji will the captain one day. What a great talent! C'mon Benji, show us your quality.

[Cedrictoad]

Mitchell Marsh looks terribly uncoordinated for an international cricketer!

The Peter Crouch of WA Cricket?

Slightly off topic but does anyone where you can buy the blue adidas beanies that some of the
England team were wearing whilst warming up?

[Number4]

Very poor bowling by Stokes at the end, Ali very poor and proves he hasn't have the ability to bowl economically under pressure and poor captaincy by Morgan for not bowling his most economical bowler his full compliment of overs
