Playing for Durham is enough for some around here.
I quite like him, but he's injury-prone, so can't really afford to bowl badly when he's fit, he ain't no Ryan Harris or Simon Jones.

he took 10 @ 40 in the 2015 ashes. he bowled some ok spells but was a sideshow.
i don't care how fast he is or how aesthetically pleasing he is. as long as he keeps bowling too short and struggling to take any wickets his position in the squad should be highly scrutinised.

Also Joe Root faced him in the T20 semi final last year and said something along the lines of, ''he was the fastest bowler he'd ever seen''. He made Root look like a bunny. It is probably on youtube.
I rate him higher than Stokes bowling (just to show this is not some insular Durham thing). Decent tailender also.

Thought he should have played this one but after the way Wood did ok in one dayers I can see why they went with him. TRJ to play next week as Wood can't play back to back games anyway.

have to say, just don't see him as a Test Bowler, think Coverton orTcurran (doesn't work as well that one) would be better, but I guess you can't argue with TRJ.

yeah i get that.
he's probably a yard too slow. but there is no obvious candidate screaming out for selection so we have to go next cab off the rank and he's earnt that spot. especially considering the absolutely terrible pitches he has to bowl on at lords.

I have him at 35.60. He has only played nine tests? His (international) career was just getting going before his ankle broke down (twice). If he remains fit he will be one of the key performers for England. He bowlers low slung skidders at 87 mph.

What's the word on Woakes? What's wrong with him and when's he back?
