Am I right in thinking that no-one has taken more ODI wickets this year than LP?

And yet never gets a look in.

Hugely underrated.

Guardian leads with 'Wood ends England's search for a game changing bowler'. Like Liam is invisible.

Plunkett has eight wickets so far in the competition. Wood has one. Still a valuable one. But... Wood's ODI bowling average is 50. His SR is 52. Econ is 5.7. So, steady on.

Ah, but Woody was bowling at 84 mph, yesterday. Compare that to LP's paltry 83 mph

pace matters

Wonder if Wood's injuries rule him out for Test matches? He has been playing fc cricket of course. But maybe England will prefer to have him in ODIs than not at all, if Tests represent a risk.
