Okay let's put it like this  following a good lead declaration England lost the second WI test due to there failure to bowl the Windies out on day five having left out an  inform TRJ  for Woakes who had a match return of  2  wickets for over 100 runs.
Would TRJ made a difference we will never know.

Can't solely blame Woakes though, the bowling unit as a collective failed to bowl out WI.

Who scored 61* to help get that good lead?

And looked like having a great chance of a ton if they hadn't declared. He looked in a lot less bother than most of the top 6 in the side.

sounds like your failing to accept that Windies batted well and none of the england side could get them out #takeyourblinkersoff

Toby Roland Jones will replace Chris Woakes in the England Cricket team tomorrow

Woakes has a simple technique that clearly works.

Have him bat at 2, 3 or 5 (whoever gets dropped first) and get TRJ in at 9. Problem solved...

Well you never know he might get two five fors in the third test in the T20 finals apart from 17 off one over he looked fit and firing on his way to six wickets.

Thought we were on about bowling
 now has 3 50s in 18 tests seem to recall  the windes bowlers after Moeens knock were out on there feet

Alvaro is right woakes dropped fro TRJ
Sad day indeed.

Walking wicket is right.tecnically woakes is as good as we have got.at number 9 on the order thats one helluva bonus

[Alvaro]

I wouldn't see the TRJ choice as sinister - perhaps Woakes isn't quite fit enough for a two-innings game. Then it's a sensible decision.

Agree but would an inform TRJ took wickets.

Absolutly agree with the bat but isn't he a bowling allrounder.

He has had a side strain that is a nasty injury for a bowler
Going forward if trj has another good game we could see both him and cr in the same team
Dont think it is cast iron one or the other

He has done well so far trj...
