Stokes further said- Wood is a really fast and skillful bowler. He opened the match for us. It seemed like he was looking to take a wicket on every ball. Obviously, when the ball comes at a speed of 150 kilometers and it reverse swings, it will be very difficult to bat. Wood is very important and the skill he has is the X factor.
