'Madness, Crazy': Root Criticized For Bowling Injury Prone Mark Wood

By AFP News January 09, 2022 • 12:12 PM View: 1489

England skipper Joe Root has drawn flak from former cricketers Steve Harmison and Mark Butcher for persisting with pace bowler Mark Wood late into Australia's second innings on Saturday, knowing that he is injury prone.

Wood bowled 15 overs, second only to spinner Jack Leach 21.5, in Australia's second innings on Day 4 of the forth Ashes Test at the SCG. While Wood took two important wickets, there are fears that he might get into another serious injury problem as the out-and-out England pacer has a history of breakdowns.
