Chris Woakes says he is “always emptied” that he could not ensure a victory for the series in England “of fairy” on India with his incredible heroic on an arm on the last day of the fifth test in the oval.

India leveled the series at five 2-2 tests during the winning six-point victory in the most dramatic finishes on Monday, who saw Woakes go out in the middle in n ° 11 with his arm in a scarf.

It was a remarkable act of bravery of the versatile, which fought his shoulder earlier in the test during the implementation. Woakes came out in the middle with England still requiring 17 points, almost helping the hosts above the line.

“I am still emptied, really devastated, that we could not get the fairy tale,” said the 36 -year -old The guardian.

“But I have never considered not to go out, even if it had still been 100 points to win or something else.

“It was good to have the ovation and some of the Indian players came to show their respect. But any other player would have done the same.”

Woakes looked in pain when he flowed between the counters, but he did not end up having to face a bullet while Gus Atkinson launched the strike before being finally launched by Mohammed Siraj to finish the match.

“It’s not just you you play there,” said Woakes.

“It is your team and your teammates, all the hard work and the sacrifices they put, the people who look at home and in the ground. You just feel the duty to do it for everyone.”

Woakes injured in the shoulder on the day of opening the swing test when he landed awkwardly trying to save a border, but said that he had no regrets.

“We chase each race,” said Woakes. “It has always been the way. As a bowling player, you really respect the guys trying to save each race. It means a lot for you. So, you do the same for the team.

“And a tight game like this – only six make the difference – the genre shows how they all add up.”

The captain of the England test Ben Stokes was the first to rent Woakes for his bravery in his valiant attempt to bring his side to a winning victory of the series at the end of the Thriller Oval.

“When the situation occurred, there has never been any questions in the mind of Woaksy,” said Captain of England Stokes Sky Sports.

“We brought out guys with broken feet and fingers and now we have brought someone out with an dislocated shoulder. This shows what it means playing for your country and fighting to win matches.”

The former captain of England Nasser Hussain praised Woake’s courage for having come to beat with one hand, and his bravery when entering the shooting line.

“While Woakes came out, three or four of India players tapped him on the shoulder,” said Hussain. “Fortunately, the right shoulder, not the left. I know some who would have gone and touched the dubious shoulder!

“Each race he took, he was agony. He would have been upset if he was not going there. He will never leave, never England and he certainly did not do it today.”

England’s head coach Brendon McCullum echoes the feeling of Hussain and said Woake’s insistence was released in the stick was typical of the man he was.

“Good on Woakesy for walking there,” said McCullum. “It’s incredibly courageous but it sums up Woaksy.

“Pushing yourself with one arm to make us pass the line shows the type of guy he is.

“It is painful. We will get more information in the coming days, but we hope it will not be too long.”
