CHRIS WOAKES - A WIZARDLY CAREER

from The Analyst Inside Cricket Hosted by Simon Hughes

Chris Woakes, double World Cup winner, and one of the only men on the Lord's honours board for batting (a Test hundred) and bowling (a five wicket haul) joins the podcast to talk about his life. 'Wiz' reveals how his nickname originated, the early 'hairdryer' spray he received from England coach Andy Flower, the sledging from the Australians on his Test debut,. Also - what he really thinks of Bazball, sharing a hotel and a dressing room with Virat Kohli and the other Indian stars, the trials and tribulations of being a fast bowler and the agony and stress of dislocating his shoulder in his final Test. And which cricketer he would like to be for a day... Chris's autobiography The Wizard is out this week. This podcast is in association with Claude.ai.
