What does wood offer ? Don�t say �extra pace�.. he�s not been close to 90 for ages now

Not saying he is... Not saying I would have picked him in the 1st place either but now only him and woakes to choose from.

He is just something different to woakes who offers the same RA fast medium that anderson and broad offer.

Think 1-1 is most likely.. neither team is strong enough

How so, he's a right arm fast medium bowler, the only difference is his wierd run up.

Whisper it quietly... Woakes is faster than Wood.

Wood bowls different lengths and has a different shape to has bowling. Woakes like Anderson and Broad are all pitch it up and shape it away.

This is the right answer, nothing to do with pace or what hand they bowl with. All three excellent bowlers, all three swing/seam merchants who mainly try and take it away and bring the odd one back in - realistically we only want two of those at most. On the other hand, Wood's test record is underwhelming at best!

As I said before I wouldn't have Wood in the squad in the 1st place.

Wood at times has been genuinely quick, but over 5 days I think most of the forum is right, there's not much between wood and woakes pace wise. On a flat deck like the matches I watched last time Pakistan were over, yes our bowling looked ordinary..

Michael Vaughan seems to want wood on just for a change, to have something to talk about.

Short of having a left armer like Wiley or topley when fit, or Carter if he progresses we don't have a lot of choice

I think myself Leach is a good bet as he is left arm a d seems pretty good, but we are searching for some variety...we might not need it in the next month but we will when we are away.

The selectors have a hard job sometimes,you can't pick someone just because they have a different bowling action, they have got to be good enough.

Woakes for me out of the two, Wood does not offer enough of a difference.

F*ck me, I wish Broad and Jimmy would pitch it up more instead of this �back of a length � sh*t. They might be a bit more effective. I shall be heckling tomorrow if they can�t hit a length!!!😡

Post lunch I feel some of the members could be woken up by our grass roots representative Brucie.

Get in there
