"Mark Wood turned into a dog.."- Ollie Robinson shocks cricketing fraternity

England National Cricket Team pacer Ollie Robinson hailed the energy of his fellow teammate Mark Wood. He recalled a story from the 2023 Ashes series against the Australia National Cricket Team, saying that that fast bowler turned into a dog and instilled energy in everyone.

England National Cricket Team pacer Mark Wood is one of the best pacers to have played for the Three Lions. He arguably is one of the fastest bowlers in the world and the kind of impact that he has made for the team is something that even many greats of the game don't have done during their career.

Mark Wood was one of the shining lights for England in the Ashes 2023. The fast bowler, with his fiery pace bowling, troubled the Australia batters and brought his team back in the game many times, helping them win and ending the series in a draw by the margin of 2-2.

Mark Wood didn't play all the games in Ashes. The right-arm pacer played three games but it was enough for him to make an impact. The fast bowler picked 14 wickets and helped the England National Cricket Team get to the top and win two games in the series after being down in the series.

Wood was one of the major factors behind the turnaround of England in the Ashes. In the third Test match, the fast bowler picked seven wickets at Headingley, including 5 for 34 in the first innings. The pacer was praised highly for his heroics and was even touted as the biggest reason for England's success.

Ollie Robinson talked about the Impact of Mark Wood in the last Ashes. He revealed how the fast bowler turned into a dog 10 minutes before the start of the game, highlighting the energy. Speaking to Wisden, he explained:

"Woody's just got this mad, unique energy. There's no one else like him. You think he is drunk half the time yet he doesn't touch a drop. Bear in mind this is a bloke who, 10 minutes before we went out, literally at 10:50 Am, was on all four barking on the changing room floor, going, "There's a dog in the dressing room. There is a dog in here, lads."

Mark Wood last seen in action during a Test against the West Indies

Mark Wood was last seen in action during the Test series against West Indies National Cricket Team. He was again the major factor for his team winning the series by the margin of 3-0 and starting the English summer on a high.

Wood hogged the headlines with the kind of speed that he bowled. The pacer reached a top speed of 97.1 mph which was the fastest delivery in a Test match in England. He made the West Indies batters dance to his tune and helped his team complete the whitewash.

Wood ended with 9 wickets in the series including a five-wicket haul in the last Test. He will be next seen in action when the England National Cricket Team takes on Sri Lanka National Cricket in the three-match Test series, starting 21st August.
