this rabada guy is pretty good
I agree with this; and that's why I think that they should look at someone else. The way I think of it is that you need to pick your four main bowlers based exclusively on their bowling: if they are good with the bat then great! From what I've seen of Woakes; he looks like someone that might take a few wickets in England but someone that'll certainly struggle when he isn't on a green pitch - sure he's good with the bat but he's batting at nine, you shouldn't need to rely on your number nine to regularly score runs! Sure a bowler needs some time to get into the swing of things; but I doubt that you'd find any top class international bowlers that only averaged 55 after their first five tests
If Woakes could only bat as well as say Finn, he wouldn't get a look in.
