London: England Pacer Chris Woakes, who won his four gawit to return to test the cricket, said it was worth waiting when he helped his team bowl in India for 191 on Thursday.
On the day of their Ace Paceman James Anderson was not at the best, Woakes (4/55 of 15 overs) and Ollie Robinson shared seven goal among them to give the host up.
Nearby, England trailed India with 138 running with 7 remaining goals.
“It’s nice to go back to white, win the throw, and the Indian bowling out for 191 is very pleasant,” the 32-year-old, the last played a test against Pakistan in August 2020, told reporters.
It was a mixture of bad luck and management decisions, that Warwickshire Paceman had to sit for more than a year.
First, he skipped the test series at Sri Lanka after he got close contact with Moeen Ali who had been positively tested for Covid-19.
He proceeded to miss the first two tests in India because he did not appear in Sri Lanka and then he was sent home for a period of rest according to the British rotation policy to overcome bubble fatigue.
Also read you are given responsibility, you must perform well with hooks or criminals, say ‘Fat’ Shardul Thakurshardul Thakur, which on Thursday noted Ian Pipped by hitting the fastest fifty test in British land, it felt that when someone was entrusted with responsibility, He must “appear with hooks or criminals”.
Glookes then met a strange accident at the house that sustained a heel injury which puts aside from the first three tests.
“I was desperate to play cricket.
It’s rather difficult to return from a heel injury.
I’m watching from home, always want to be part of the series.” This is a strange year, up and down, caught insulation then in summer take Niggle.
It was worth the wait and I really enjoyed it, “Woakes, who replaced the left-arm Pacer Sam Curran, said.
Bowling with a red ball after a long time, Woakes said he was on the basics.” Don’t have a large number of red balls, I actually focus on doing what I do well that clearly takes the ball from the right hander and tries to get the movement there.
Fortunately the surface responds well.
“While England dominated mostly, India fought back on the last hour with Jasprit Bumrah taking two quick goals before Umesh Yadav claimed valuable goalkeeper from Joe’s roots in the form.” Obviously we won’t do it like losing three tonight, including Joe.
That is a good goal.
Hopefully we will hit well tomorrow and pass their score.
Tomorrow will be a big day for us, “he said.
