Amazing really, what an impact he can have.
7th time he's taken 5 wickets in a single spell in test cricket! Remarkable.
Plus, broad is the leading wicket taker in test cricket in the last 5 years with 231.
Anyone know who's is 2nd and 3rd?
Jimmy and Dale Steyn?

Jimmy is third, steyn a fair bit back on 168 wickets, guess he's had a few injuries. Second is someone you'd probably not think of, but might groan when I say!
Broad at number 1 in the rankings too, first England bowler since Harmison in 2004!

We have a winner! Swann would have had to take loads of poles to still be there if he retired 2 years ago! Lyon was on the list, 6/7th maybe. Johnson wasnt

finn is injured. woakes did well in durban
results aside, who else would you expect the selectors to pick? he was clearly the next in line

As I said halfway through the last test. Footitt.
Perfect chance to see what he can do. Left handed, rapid, gives us something different to a very poor version of Jimmy Anderson who has never really done it in international cricket, a few performances apart.

but thats incorrect. after durban, when Finn went down woakes was going to be selected 100% of the time.
if Footitt was showing it in the nets he'd have been in earlier in the tour. As it is you don't just hand out test caps to "see what he can do"
last time england did that, kerrigan at the oval, it was appalling.

its like people suddenly calling for bairstow not to keep wicket
he's always had a technical flaw, doesn't twist his hips for the low ones
now he drops two and suddenly people want Buttler back in, because of course Buttler's keeping has improved sitting in the Holiday Inn for a month.....
results orientated short term nonsense
you take the rough with the smooth with batsmen-wicketkeepers. neither are alan knott or bob taylor.

I havent called for Bairstow to be dropped, yes, he should be taking some of these chances, but he will improve, and offers the team more with the bat than Butler does.
Woakes has played both white ball and red ball cricket now for England, and has hardly excelled, you know exactly what he is going to give you, he is a worse bowler than Stokes for me, yet he is meant to be our 3rd seamer.
From the noises coming out of the England camp, Footitt is far from pleasant to face in the nets, but England have always been conservative in their selections, hence why it took so long to get Taylor into the team. Out bowling attack needs variety, which it doesnt have with this current look.
When Anderson retires, I have no doubt that Woakes will be the one the plonk in to replace him, that fills me with dread.
The Kerrigan example is a bit extreme if you ask me! Yes, he was pants, but it shouldnt stop you from throwing someone in there if they look like they could have that X factor that international attacks need. Woakes is definitely NOT that man. Footitt could be, but I fear that we will never find out.
