Wood bowled this crap 6 bouncers per over rubbish in Pakistan on dead wickets and was effective but they were able to rotate and rest him but if he bowls like that this test he won't last the series as he has had no preparation.Bit surprised Tongue was dropped and Robinson retained...
They are propping up the batting with Woakes and Ali as bowling allrounders.
I'm just presuming Stokes wants to employ 4 quicks for a bouncer war, be interesting to see how green the wicket is for this test.
