maybe you should be worrying about your own game you ineffective numpty. nothing screams nice english cricketer not really up for a scrap like chris woakes playing outside of england.
I mean, later on he was asked about the coach and Woakes did say he's in no position to speak on that given where he is currently at.

Seems a bit harsh. Was asked what he thought about Root's captaincy given he's played under it a lot and gave what seems to be an honest answer. The fact that he hasn't been very good outside England doesn't mean he hasn't been in a good position to comment on how Root leads the team.

the bigger issue is probably why he was the one doing the press conference. shades of Ashwin doing every press conference in the 2011-12 series

I would love to see a cricketer one day just go full Raikkonen and give the media absolutely nothing. Don't see many likely candidates around international cricket at the moment though

Will MacPherson from the "Evening Standard" is currently on Perth radio, just said bowling coaches Jon Lewis & Jeetan Patel both have Covid as well.
Said they are running out of coaches for Sydney.

Boony has tested positive for covid but is apparently asymptomatic. Covid must be allergic to pure masculinity and VB.

Really is amazing that England had an obvious chance to get Gary Kirsten and went for Silverwood instead.
You'd think they'll look to shake things up after this series. I struggle to watch or listen to Sky Sports without thinking that England could benefit from a cricket mind like Nasser or Atherton but there's probably no reason for them to leave their current positions for something like that.
