Test or one day? @RPC/Blueroom Cricket - Adie

Cant think of that many English bowlers hitting 90mph regulary who are fit
Might be why england keep trying Finn because he can, or could.
woakes is quicker than most others we have now

Wood when fit is by far the fastest we have...when fit. Mills only bowls 4 over spells these days.

[LateBloomer]

I don't think pace is particularly a worry we have plenty of people who can bowl early 90's it's just comparing them to someone like starc who can bowl nearly 100 mph deadly accurate Yorkers it makes our guys look like the u14's at your local club

Im not sure we have, certainly not for the test side. Im not overly confident about the away Ashes series to be honest with you. Without any proper pace and a threatening spinner we are basically relying on Broad and Anderson to come good which hasnt always happened over there

You are right about Woakes, regularly clocked high 80s, however I have a horrible feeling he will come onto the bat lovely on Australian wickets. I sincerely hope Im wrong, he has proved plenty of people wrong so far

Tymal Mills
Mark Wood

Oh wait, you said NOT made if glass didn't you...

[LateBloomer]

Meaker can bowl quick spells but is less accurate than Finn most of the time!

[Number4]

Because the format demands risk taking shots

No it doesn't

@RPC/Blueroom Cricket - Adie
Meaker, Overton, mills, Jordan, Finn, broad, plunkett, stokes

[Tailendfielder]

Woakes is good enough to continue in the side. Don't think he needs replacing in odi or tests. His stats are pretty decent and he will get better. Im not saying his as good as Anderson but Anderson took alot of time to become the bowler he is now.

Anderson took alot of time to become the bowler he is now.

After they tried remodeling him, which fractured his back!

[Seniorplayer]

Haha are you for real? 2 top order wickets and 2 at the end, I would say that is a pretty good days work for a seam bowler in an ODI. All 3 seamers bowled well although I am starting to worry about Finns missing 10mph

Having watched the match the 2 top order players Woakes got out looked very ordinary regardless who was bowling 2 poor shots to balls that they could have left but didn't and the 2 at the end well they were tailenders with an ave of 13 and 4 just throwing the bat as the  game was all but lost.

Take this match as an example when you anallize what happened stats can be misleading  also you could see why this average but with potential windes team are rated ninth in world ODI.
As for Anderson v Woakes  comparision Jimmy was a far better bowler at the same age.

Brathwaite's wicket shouldn't count. He thought they said "Stokes" over the tannoy when Woakes came on so was trying to smoke it... #DropWoakes #HeOnlyTookFour
