Mark Wood left everyone in splits as he shared a video of his ramblings due to the effect of anesthesia after waking up from his elbow surgery recently. The England cricketer was filmed speaking gibberish after waking up and was also forced to stop playing during the first Test match of England’s Caribbean tour. He underwent surgery in London on Saturday. On opening his eyes, Wood was filmed asking someone,”Is my shoulder meant to be sore?”
After the person present in the room replied to his question, Wood quipped, “That’s weird though!”
“I’ve have had elbow surgery but my shoulders are aching.”
“I’ll still bowl fast”, he further added.
Wood was also asked by the person about missing IPL 2022, to which he exclaimed, “I’m so sad!”
During the video, the bowler also called Andy Flower a “nice guy”.
“I like Andy Flower, he is a nice guy”, he said.
Here is the full video of Wood under the influence of anesthesia:
