Mark Wood, who could not play within the semi-final towards India, is a uncertain starter for the ultimate towards Pakistan on Sunday. But he says he will probably be prepared in case his captain Jos Butler desperately wants him.
“If the captain desperately needs me and I’m fit enough then I’ll put my name in the hat like everyone else,” Mark Wood mentioned on the BBC podcast “Good Pace for Radio”. “I tried my best to make the last game but I couldn’t bowl at the intensity and speeds required to play for England.”
“I couldn’t get my hip going. Hopefully if required I can try and get it right for this game – I don’t know if I’ll be able to.” So, it does, look extremely uncertain that he will probably be obtainable for the ultimate. Wood, who missed the whole summer season with an elbow damage, starred within the latest collection win towards Pakistan in Pakistan.
He bounced out batsmen with tempo, and in some methods helped Pakistan weed out the ‘weaklings’ from the center order forward of the world cup.

Wood’s Scooter Ride to breakfast in Adelaide
“I knew you were struggling … We meant to go to breakfast when we landed in Adelaide and the hotel was just 20 meters down the road but you were walking slowly and it was boiling hot and you were struggling – so we had to take a scooter !” Tymal Mills says.
“I used to be determined to play, thought I had an opportunity while you went down. I had one apply session – I bowled greater than regular. It was an excellent coaching day. I’ve been bowling properly, feeling good. But I can perceive why they went with Chris Jordan. CJ did properly to bowl three overs collectively on the dying,” says Wood.
Mark Wood on watching England beat India
Honestly ultimately, I did not need the sport (towards India) to finish. I simply needed to remain on the market and preserve watch8ing. It’s as if I needed to be chasing 240 the way in which they had been happening. First the bowling after which that batting; how good was it!

Wood on the primary 10 overs when India had been simply 66 for two
The seamers lengths had been glorious. The Junior (Sam Curran) mix-up was good; Rohit could not hit him off that size. Woakes obtained that good wicket of KL that bounced a bit. The lengths had been good. We had been rattling by the overs, the fielding was good, we had been on it. We had been dashing round, placing stress on. Those 10 overs we had been on the degree. Game towards India semifinal is an enormous recreation – you may simply be nervous or standoffish however the depth was superb.
Wood on England’s batting
I can discuss all of it night time! I bear in mind at one level, Hardik Pandya tried to get the gang going they usually did. Then Jos Buttler hit a 4! It was a majority of Indian fan base, I cherished how the way in which we took them on. There was no level, they took a again step. They performed good cricketing pictures. Jos hit one huge straight six down the bottom. None down, it is a correct efficiency, innit?!
On the Indian crowd
The Indians had a variety of Indian flags and those with all of the random indicators, and by the tip, they had been all on the ground. I bear in mind half-way once they had been batting, the blokes and ladies had been screaming behind us. When we had been batting, that they had gone quiet. It was an excellent indication of we doing properly. By the tip, the standard Indian crowd, raucous, had died down and the one factor we may hear was Barmy Army. Nice to see them celebrating and having fun with.
In 3-4 years time, we’ll speak in regards to the Adelaide night time: do not forget that night time when Jos did that. We will probably be speaking abut it even after retirement. Jos would not give that a lot however I can inform he was happy.
How about that second once they run 4?! Laughs. How drained was Hales after that all-run 4 and he needed to have a drink, did not he?!
Pakistan and England have scaled the heights to succeed in the #T20WorldCup remaining

Wood on how he felt sitting out of the semifinal
I did the sport fantastic. It was earlier than that once I discovered I wasn’t going to play – that was robust. I’ve been bowling, in good kind … that harm, it was essentially the most annoying factor as this was a giant recreation – semifinal of world cup, they do not come on a regular basis in your life. It was onerous.
There is a lot belief on this dressing room. CJ (Chris Jordan) got here in with out many video games behind his again however everybody trusted and backed him. It would have been the identical had you (Tymal Mills) had are available. We have a squad who everybody is aware of what they’ll ship, belief of their capacity, and there’s no egocentric behaviour. It’s straightforward to say in podcast or TV interview however it’s real; everyone seems to be scrambling for one another. I need to give again to you what you do for me. We all assist one another. It’s an excellent place to be as a staff. Me and Malan could not run in. Your job doubled up final night time, did not it? (Mills laughs).
Wood on Pakistan
They are harmful staff. Just like we’re harmful; they’re a really harmful facet, with superb quick bowlers.
Tymal Mills: “Fingers crossed, we might have a medal around our neck! It will be something to tell family that we were world cup winners.”
What did Wood drink after the India recreation?
I noticed the lads consuming beer and all that and I believed fancy if there’s milk within the fridge. I had a glass of milk! I like milk! Is that bizarre?!
