Not sure why some England fans hate him - gets the ball to nip around at decent pace.
I think it's more a case of Woakes not being rated, but every team over the years has had players who contribute but perhaps don't hit the headlines with 100's or five fours...
A genuine allrounder he may not be, like Stokes for example who is, but add up the contribution over the match and he is there.
He comes across as a modest unassuming player and not one of the stars if you like.
