The c’est la vie approach behind an England bowler in the form of his life

The Independent  

During England’s eight-wicket win in the third Twenty20 to give them a 2-1 series lead against India, Mark Wood set a new personal best. I’ve learnt in the past it’s not ready to go and play.” Not many fast bowlers get to learn from past mistakes, but Wood has made sure previous errors are not revisited. If I have to miss a game here or there for little things.i'd rather me charging in and bowling as quick as I can to keep my performance level up rather than being at 50-60% and not doing myself or the team justice.” As pace bowling enjoys a renaissance during this period of T20’s undulating tactical shifts, Wood alongside Jofra Archer, with Olly Stone waiting in the wings, is part of a battery of quicks at Eoin Morgan’s disposal. “It will give me a better chance!” “I don’t think India is somewhere you’d naturally say is a fast bowler’s paradise, in Test matches you think of Australia, West Indies, South Africa. At the minute things are going well, we’ve got to keep sticking at it and hope the next game is the same.” Recommended England defeat India to retake T20 series lead as Jos Buttler cancels out Virat Kohli brilliance That kind of “c’est la vie” approach is a necessity for T20 bowlers.
