IND vs Eng Oval Test: The Oval Test between India and England ended even though a few days have passed, but Chris Woakes’ passion -filled innings is still in the headlines. England fast bowler and all -rounder Vox batted on the last day of the Test when his left shoulder slipped and was hurting a lot. Now, while talking to the British newspaper ‘The Guardian’, Vox has shared his pain about that moment and told that he felt at that time that his career would probably end here.
What did Vox said?
During a conversation with ‘The Guardian’, Chris Woakes said, “Never changed to land on the field. I felt that it is my duty, not only for the team, but for all those who are standing with us. I did not know how injured my shoulder is, but at that time I had to play for the team only.”
Vox came to bat when England’s team was breathing his last. His left hand was wrapped in the bandage, which he hid inside the sweater. Despite this, he fought fiercely.
Chris Woakes also admitted that when he was hurt, he also thought for a few moments that his career was not in danger. He said, “When there was a shoulder injury, it felt a moment that my career is not over, but you understand that it is not just for you. You are a part of a big thing. Everyone has hard work for it, whether it is team, fans or your family. At that time I felt that I have to fight, whatever happens, whatever happens.”
“If someone else was there, he would have done the same”
Chris Woakes said that when he landed on the field, the audience welcomed him with applause. Indian players also respected his courage. He said, “It was nice to listen to the most applause and some Indian players came and expressed respect and appreciated, but I would have been a player in my place, he would have done the same. You cannot finish the match like this after falling 9 wickets.”
How to bat?
Vox said that despite a shoulder injury, he set himself up as a left hand batter, so that the right hand does not have to be used too much. He said, “There was less pressure on the shoulder when playing with the left hand. I felt that this is the only way to escape. I played a few balls, left something, and that was the hope.”
What is update on injury?
Chris Woakes has not yet received a complete scan report of his injury. He hopes that he will recover soon, but it is also believed that he may have to rest long. This will be a major setback for England as Vox is important players of the team with both ball and bat.
