In his career, his three best innings bowling and 3 best match figures have came in the only 3 games he's played that were dead rubbers. In 45 innings he's played in live series, he's never taken more than 3 wickets in an innings ever. He's played in an era of falling test score and helpful pitches, so some of these averages especially at home are abnormally bad.
Very few cricketers have been as useless as Wood has in his career. When it matters, he's performed terribly.

Can Wood be trusted to bowl 30 overs of full pace on a dead wicket? History says no
