This is amazing.

No one's f***ed it and got out.

Very much so.

But watching Matt Henry, I thought, that's the sort of bowler you want to be, isn't it?

And then I suddenly got wistful and, you know what's coming, Jim?

I thought, if only England had a really skillful bowler that could just nibble away and just really outthink batters because of years of experience and training and honing his craft and just...

really thinking about bowling as an art form if only there was someone who could do that around about 82 miles per hour and managed to get the top batters of a side out that'd be nice wouldn't it are you thinking about chris waltz yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah of course of course of course of course robinson wokes nonsense actually if you ask me he was quite it was good wokes i thought on the on the tv on the coverage

Nice man, isn't he?

Yeah, just a lovely man.

Stalking cricket.

You just sort of wind Woody up and just watch him go and it's just really enjoyable and sees the game brilliantly as well, doesn't he?

Like Chris Wokes does.

But Jim, could you tell us what makes Matt Henry so good?

Because you've played against him for a number of years, really, because he popped up onto the scene around in the test side about 2015.

So he's been in and around the side for a long time, but often underrated.

And this felt like a real moment for him on a big scale.

English cricket stage where lots of people went oh he's good isn't he but we've known he's been really good for ages but he's just he's getting better and at his age he seems to be really his stats are unbelievable at the minute yeah I mean he's always been a good bowler he's always had the skills and as he's got older he just

A savvy, humble, high quality, not especially fast bowler, working a batter out over a number of overs.

Is there anything better in the world?

No.
