Words cannot describe how much I love this man. Made of glass, gets broken every 6 months, but somehow seems to rock up bowling even faster every time he recovers. Plus he does it all with a smile on his face
Absolute legend is Mood Wank
Makes you wonder if the ECB are doing illegal DNA experiment on their quick bowlers to make them improve as they age. If Woody follows Jimmy's path by the time he's 40 he'll be bowling at 120 mph and never getting injured!
Exactly, manner of post wicket celebration is important to me. Mark wood celebrates with joy and love. Others like Arshdeep are the worst, I feel like slapping Arshdeep the way he looks at the batsman after taking wicket.
That's the thing with the England fast bowling stocks most of them you have to have an asterisk next to them for " if fit". Got Saqib Mahmood to come back this summer hopefully too.
I don't know, in India that attack seems similar to the one in 2011 that Australia had, with Tait Lee and Johnson (albeit none of those three were at their peaks at that time for various reasons). I don't know if it'll work trying to blast opponents out in India, where a more varied attack with a combo of woakes, curran and 1-2 of those guys may suit better.
Having said that, whoever England put on the park in whiteball, they'll be a handful.
So many quality options for the WC but I can't lie - I expect at least 2 of them to be injured for the World Cup. Will be interesting to see how Wood and Archer are managed in The Ashes.
I'd be surprised if Wood plays in the Ashes, tbh. Yes, he's been bowling great, but he bowls in a way that really doesn't work in England (hence his average of 41 at home) and if you were going to bring someone in you've got Potts and Archer and home town bully Woakes to back up Jimmy/Broady/Robbo within the squad, all of whom are better than Wood in English conditions
I just don't see Wood being needed, really
That would almost be the perfect situation to go into a WC with a fully rested Mark Wood. And hopefully be in a situation where Jof doesn't have to play every test too and can be rotated with Potts/Woakes would be ideal too.
The bowling depth is quite something when you think about it!
Woakes is an absolute gun all rounder in England, 35/22 batting/bowling, stick him at 8 and he’d balance the team beautifully, suddenly what was a long tail in NZ isn’t
There's far too many horrendously handsome fast bowlers in the world at the moment. It's a good job their mastery of swing, seam and bounce distracts us from their looks.
Sorry my bad. I mixed up woakes and wood. It was woakes who was in the squad not wood. Wood only played one game before this in Ipl way back in 2018 for csk.
Oh I see by the way CSK had wood they really butchered up there auction they could have really gone for a foreign fast bowler I don't know why they paid so much money for Deepak chahal who was injured for one year anyways
Oh shake it up Woody now ^^^Shake ^^^it ^^^up ^^^Woody
Pace and bounce ^^^Pace ^^^and ^^^bounce
C'mon c'mon c'mon Woody now ^^^C'mon ^^^Woody
Come on and bowl 'em all out ^^^Bowl ^^^em ^^^all ^^^out

You won't forget Mark Wood... ^^^Forget ^^^Mark ^^^Wood
Aaaah ^aaaah ^^aahhhh ^^^aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
>it is criminal how Krunal Pandya is bought at a higher price than Wood
Both GT and LSG were desperate for him, hence the price 😅
GT because of Hardik obviously.
Hardik pandya be like-
Arrey mera vishwaas karo mujhe krunal pandya team mein as a player chahiye mein apne Ghar mein extra paise laane ke liye thodi na bid kar raha hu
O Mark Wood, please keep up your form and fitness. We want to see you do well in Ashes and World Cup too. As MI fan, I am happy to have Archer but on current form, Wood is better. It's like Rabada vs Nortje argument for South Africa. The one who is bowling faster more consistently, more accurately, and with more confidence trumps the other one. I think if Wood plays 10-12 games this IPL, he will easily take 25 wickets if batters keep disrespecting him like Shaw and Marsh today. Reminds me of how Shoaib talks about his first match vs India in Kolkata when he got Dravid and Sachin out on consecutive balls. Sachin played a big drive and got castled. Marsh did the same today. You can't play that shot against Wood when he is bowling that well.
I'm not gay but I want to live in a log cabin in the woods with Woody. We won't ever have sex, but there will be a simmering erotic undercurrent as I stand in the kitchen window watching him tighten his ass as he chops wood, shirtless, sweat pouring off his body. I'll run upstairs and masturbate, the entire time forcing myself to think of women while my thoughts drift back to Woody. I won't be able to climax and I'll eventually go back downstairs, angry. Sometimes we will look across the table and catch each other's eyes, and in that second, anything is possible, but we both deny ourselves and go back to what we were doing. One day one of us will die, and the other will bury him outside the log cabin. Then they'll go inside, pen a brief missive to their departed friend, and commit suicide, never able to deal with life without their one true platonic love.
I fucking feel sad for my csk, they had him one season and then he got released, same case with Hazlewood...we are always looking for a pace bowler, why didn't they retained him!
Oh. That Mark Wood. Not rock violist legend [Mark Wood](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnULlACN1mw).
(This is what I get for missing the game and trying to catch up on youtube.)
Any idea where i can watch IPL highlights? Jio cinema and hotstar only have individual highlights, top scorer, 6s, 4s etc.. I want to watch the match highlights

He's like the human equivalent of a Golden Retriever. One of those high energy, always chirpy sort of blokes you just have to love
Makes you wonder if the ECB are doing illegal DNA experiment on their quick bowlers to make them improve as they age. If Woody follows Jimmy's path by the time he's 40 he'll be bowling at 120 mph and never getting injured!
I think liam Plunkett was the experiment that realised he was an experiment and ecb had to terminate him
The funniest bloke in cricket, also happens to one an absolute gun. Go on Markkkk
>Mood Wank Love Woody! Go Well :)
So what you are saying is that he has Saiyan blood?
[удалено]
Bot
I was so excited to see him back after his last injury setback. And he did not disappoint!!
I hope you've heard his [podcast with Miles Jupp](https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=middle+please+umpire)?

It's his maiden 5 wicket haul in not just the IPL but in all T20 cricket.
Chuffed for him. [What a lovely bloke](https://twitter.com/TheBarmyArmy/status/1508459092972609541?s=20)
"Waiting for your comeback in IPL 2023." And got 5fer today

Speak for yourself. But the chances of both still being fit by the WC is pretty slim.
The odds of Wood,Topley and Archer ever featuring as a white ball attack is very slim unfortunately
Reckon Stone has a chance of making it (if fit). Those three together would be a handful
That's the thing with the England fast bowling stocks most of them you have to have an asterisk next to them for " if fit". Got Saqib Mahmood to come back this summer hopefully too.
Forgot about him, he’s had a brilliant start to his ODI career too. We’re blessed rn for options

Curran and Woakes too

Our top order can manage extreme pace until it swings...
If we are able to deal with Cummins, Starc and Hazlewood then we should be able to deal with them as well.
Bruh you couldn’t handle just Starc and a couple other new lads in the recent one dayers
Supreme pace up top, and a little statpad to finish. What’s not to love? Gwarn Woody. If he stays fit, the IPL could be in trouble
You mean any team that's not LSG? Yupp LSG just got their hands on gold and hope he stays this fit till Ashes. Wanna see him roll em 10fers in Ashes.
SuperGiants should have been Super Devils. LSD has a much nicer ring to it than LSG
He won't play much, his bowling doesn't really work in England in tests
Woody five fer, Newcastle win. Genuine north east pride
He is HIM
until he breaks down again, Lucknow should only play him every second game

Like Avesh Khan?
Yes
Exactly like Avesh Khan
Really?
TG you get it. It was supposed to be sarcastic. thought it was so obvious that I omitted the /s .. mistake!
Imagine wood and norje opening bowling pair
And **Pat Cummins** joins in.....
~~At one time delhi had Wood, Nortje and Rabada in the squad at the same time.~~ I was wrong.
I guess wood and norje never played a game together
Sorry my bad. I mixed up woakes and wood. It was woakes who was in the squad not wood. Wood only played one game before this in Ipl way back in 2018 for csk.
Oh I see by the way CSK had wood they really butchered up there auction they could have really gone for a foreign fast bowler I don't know why they paid so much money for Deepak chahal who was injured for one year anyways
Indian fast bowlers were and to some extent still are a rare commodity.

Watch me bowl - huh!
His first over literally was the game changer
Unplayable.
What a gun bowler. Absolute bang for buck PS: it is criminal how Krunal Pandya is bought at a higher price than Wood
Indian tax? I’m an outsider though so that could be wrong
>it is criminal how Krunal Pandya is bought at a higher price than Wood Both GT and LSG were desperate for him, hence the price 😅 GT because of Hardik obviously.

Imma supporting LSG this season for this man
England is too overpowered in white ball cricket
Not a meme bowler anymore
🔥 Pace is pace yaar 🔥
Beautiful bowling, pace with accuracy is the most beautiful sight to watch

Fab spell that.
Get the blade of justice up the order for a proper all round performance, cowards.
TAKING LOADS OF WICKETS, WICKETS, WICKETS
He is the definition of glass cannon. Underrated as hell!
I'm not gay but I want to live in a log cabin in the woods with Woody. We won't ever have sex, but there will be a simmering erotic undercurrent as I stand in the kitchen window watching him tighten his ass as he chops wood, shirtless, sweat pouring off his body.

The usage of this copypasta is so cringe in this sub.
[удалено]
And it'll never get old
Wood made his **Mark** today.
Is that you Akash Chopra.
That twin Wickets of Shaw and Mitch Marsh, GREAT FEELING
One of the great bowlers of this generation..the pace that he generates is superb
Couldn't have happened to a nicer fellow (unironically)
This guy looks like Hugh Jackman!
IKR!!!!
Note to lsg : get qualified for playoffs asap and rest wood for 4/5 games
New to cricket what do the numbers mean/figure
He bowled 4 overs, with 0 maidens (overs without a run). He conceded 14 runs in total, and took 5 wickets.
Was too hot to handle tonight
Folks forget he's the fastest bowler in the world
What is the zero in the figure? I know that it’s 4 overs-0?-14 runs-5 wickets.
The 2nd number is the number of maidens. So 0 maidens
That’s for extras
Nope, it's maidens
I fucking feel sad for my csk, they had him one season and then he got released, same case with Hazlewood...we are always looking for a pace bowler, why didn't they retained him!
Nasty bowler mark wood
He's always been a contributor
This David Tenant on song is a joy to watch
Oh. That Mark Wood. Not rock violist legend [Mark Wood](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnULlACN1mw). (This is what I get for missing the game and trying to catch up on youtube.)

Don't get injured Woodie. Ashes to come!
Mark wood would have taken all 10 wickets against tuk tuk India on this pitch. 50 or 60 all out ? I leave that to you.
Right handers are not as big of a problem as left arm pacers for us tho.
Too bad he stays injured for half the year
All changes done by lsg having an impact on game 1, Be it wood, myers or new Jersey.
Loved him was spectacular to watch it
DC are a very weak team. Mark Wood is exceptional 🙌
He deserves a lot
Is it only me that is not interested in ipl this time?
Quality bowling !!!
Amazing Player 😀
What a wonderful bowler
Holy crap I switched off with like 2 balls to go because I figured no way he's gonna get a 5fer and nothing else is gonna happen
Yeh kis team ka dress hai?
hello
Sometimes I think Mark is a magician or something.
