Q&A with Chris Woakes

Gentlemen

After much talk about Chris Woakes today following his fantastic career best bowling display, I am pleased to announce that I've managed to arrange a Q&A with him.

If you could all post your questions in this thread I will get them across to Chris at some point.

Thanks

Test Cricket or One-Day Cricket? Which would you prefer to play for England?

Favourite ground on the county circuit bar Edgbaston?

Hardest opposition Batsman to bowl to?

Who has had the biggest influence on your bowling?
Do you prefer to bowl to left or right handed batsmen?
Worst ground you have bowled at?

Do you prefer batting or bowling?
Which county sides do you like and dislike playing against?

What is your 'perfect' delivery?

What's more pleasing - a century or a 5 wicket haul?

What do you think you bring to the table that some of the other fast bowlers vying for an England place maybe don't have?

How nice did it feel to smash a 90mph Brett Lee delivery into the stands?

What type of a bowler do you want to become?

Which of the current crop of young English players do you think will be the first to well and truly break in to the England Test squad?

County players to look out for next season?

Hardest away ground to play at atmosphere wise.

Which trophy do you most want to win.

Were you annoyed when after impressing in Australia you were dropped from the World Cup side?

People you've faced:

Bowlers:

Best overall?
Fastest?
Most accurate?
Most 'nouse'?
Biggest turner?
Most unorthodox?

Batsmen:

Best overall?
Best defence?
Most dominating?
Most unorthodox?
Hardest to bowl to?

Who's the best for banter in the Warwickshire changing room?

Favourite player of all time?

Which players on the county circuit are renowned for their sledging?

Who was your idol growing up?

Who do you think is the most talented best keeper batsman in England apart from Prior?

Do you now view yourself as a genuine all-rounder, or still as a bowler than can bat a bit?

(Last I saw Woakes was 50-odd not out for Warwicks today).

Do you, as a first class cricketer, miss the 50 over competition, or do you prefer the existing format now?

Tempted to suggest question: who would be in your greatest ever England XI - but that's probably a bit much!

Favourite Sports forum?

Haha, yeah..when are you signing up to 606v2?

Keep them coming guys, some good ones thus far.

Do you reverse swing the ball on flat pitches?

Guys

I've sent the questions off to Chris, so fingers crossed for some good answers.

On a side note, he is now following us on Twitter haha.

Thanks to all that contributed, and I'll post up the Q&A thread once I receive the answers.

best sledge you've heard on the pitch?

if still time

See above post mate, sent them off yesterday. Shame though, that is a great question and I wish I had thought of it earlier.

I've asked about who is renowned for their sledging, but it'd be great to hear what the best one was!

maybe for another cricketer in a while then if we do another
