Ashes 2nd Test: Jason Gillespie Says This Player Should Have Been Played Instead Of Woakes

By IANS News December 19, 2021 • 13:14 PM View: 1622

Former Australia pacer Jason Gillespie believes that England speedster Mark Wood should have played instead of Chris Woakes in the second Ashes Test at the Adelaide Oval. Wood was England's best bowler in the first Test at The Gabba, with his raw pace troubling some Australia batters and picked 3/85 in the first innings.

But Wood, England's only express pace option, was rested to keep him fresh for the rest of the matches in the series, including the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. Several experts from both countries had criticised the decision as Woakes returned with figures of 1/103 in the first innings at the Adelaide Oval, with Gillespie the latest to join the chorus.
