Got to say Masood looks really impressive out there, coaches probably told him to visualize that you playing like county cricket .

Carse has been reasonable
The frustrating thing about Woakes is that he’s a good, experienced cricketer but every time he bowls overseas, it looks like the first time
Jimmy etc adapted & found a way but he just seems to bowl the same stuff and hardly surprising that it doesn’t work

I reckon he had a gimme career for six or seven years too. But people won't put up with bad attitude for too long, and indeed they haven't.

Yorkshire got rid over his attitude, not like he hasn't got previous...

Him being so completely PNGed from the national setup suggests more than just "his attitude sucks" I think, I wouldn't be surprised if he's not particularly liked at a personal level amongst the English team management/senior players - not just a lovable, but unprofessional, lout but something less pleasant. Like he's been blacklisted completely, it seems.

Playing Woakes turning out to be a pathetic call as expected. Just not enough pace to make things happen in subcontinent

Didn’t Gillespie coach him & spoke highly of his growth?
Last I heard he had a social influencer partner and that doesn’t go down well in cricket circles

Yeah it's surprising he doesn't use more tools , cutters , change of angle , asking the keeper to stand up ..Anderson learnt in his career when conditions are not in his favour that to dry up the runs is one way to bring about a wicket .

Thing I've noticed in his matches in Australia is that his control seemed worse. Like he was spraying it around trying for movement.
He can bowl the one coming back in off the pitch decently, I don't why he doesn't just try that all day when it's not swinging.
I may revisit this view - last 30 minutes Shan has looked in perfect form... which is probably dangerous for him.

Must say I reckon if England were batting here they'd be on 140 already.

Any helmet with a good influence around them can be fine, take the good influence away and they soon revert to type like Robinson has. Waste of a career, biggest waster since Chris Lewis for me.

Pretty much what happend, no? Got dropped after Australia because he wasn't fit enough, then came back fitter, but broke down in india again and did a podcast with his girlfriend about some private stuff in the dressing room without speaking to management. Just seems a bit thick in the head.

But what did he actually do wrong? His Test average is 22, so not like he's had a string of bad performances. He's had a couple of bad ones in India, well what seamer hasn't? He continues to bowl well for Sussex. I suspect it's simply that he doesn't quite fit in, which is pretty damning on the unit if you ask me.

There’s a classic story about when Buchanan thought he was losing the dressing room and asked if anyone had better plans
McGrath replied “top of off then give it to Warnie” and team walked out
Woakes “looks nice” but his length & line is inconsistent

said the odd thing on the podcast as well that suggested he hadn't learnt his lesson from his uncovered tweets when he was a teenager.
