Is Wood looking like taking wickets? All the text comentrary just tells me how fast he is bowling.
You kind of always look threatening at 90+ mph with a newish ball when it’s flying through and he has beaten the bat quite a few times, but I think if he was bowling closer to Woakes’ length he would look even more threatening

Wood is quicker than Nortje. a few kmh more. Brett Lee, Shoaib, Tait on par with Wood in terms of pace 155kph.
Nortje is a better bowler than Wood overall. Nortje is top 5 bowler on planet right now.

Lee, Shoaib, Tait were not that great in tests, Tait was poor.
Lee, Shoaib and Tait bowled 160

Yes he looks threatening and haven’t seen Marnus so uncomfortable. However, you’re right mate, he’s a fraction short so it looks good fizzing through to Bairstow but just needs to be a tad fuller to get closer to the edge.

Brett Lee average 30.8, Shoaib average 25.7 only 178 wickets though so pretty decent I would say. Brett Lee's average is a bit high only a bit lower than say Jacques Kallis so meh
