‌ENG vs WI | Twitter feels for agonized Sinclairs marginally falling prey to Wood’s brute paceÂ
Test cricket is frequently associated with valuable life lessons and is renowned for its emphasis on virtues. Kevin Sinclairs was thoroughly tested by Mark Wood’s brute pace leading to an uncanny dismissal on the fourth day of England versus West Indies' second Test in Trent Bridge.
Following the loss of four wickets for 16 runs in a span of 26 balls, Sinclairs and Jason Holder were left with the task to withstand the English attack. However, the former failed to live up to the expectations, courtesy of an unfortunate misery off Wood’s bowling. The Durham-based pacer dished a short ball from over the wicket into the right-hander on the second ball of the 24th over. Hurried by pace, Sinclairs tried to swerve away from the ball’s trajectory, and in the process, tried to fend it away. The youngster was stuck in a weird position, and the white cherry seemed to have nicked him en route to the wicketkeeper.Â
On the TV umpire’s referral, it was vivid that the ball kissed the wristband of Sinclairs that stuck to the gloves, leading to a spark in Ultraedge. Going by the MCC laws, the batter was rightfully dismissed despite a mark of agony written across his face. While the Twitterverse lauded Wood’s brilliance, they felt pity for the Windies all-rounder.

Fantastic consistency
Anyone has the speed stats of Mark Wood in this spell? Fantastic consistency at 90+ mph. He's done it a couple of times before for England, but I'm wondering if this is not, in terms of sheer pace, his fastest series of deliveries for the country.
