I think it is both disappointing and the right result across the balance of the series.

One other thing, it’s entirely possible that might be the end of Woakes Test career. The game wouldn’t be what he wanted, but what an iconic way to go out.

"Woakes may risk rehab over surgery to make Ashes"

Woakes should take surgery because no way should England even consider taking him to the Ashes. We've been down that road before: the ball doesn't swing for him, his balls sit up nicely at exactly the height Aussie batsmen love and he gets carted around the park.

I love Woakes, but fully agreed.

Pitches have been different there of late. If he’s fit I’d have him tour and then see what the pitches look like.
