Crazy seeing Anderson and Broad top of the all time seam wicket takers ahead of McGrath
The way they've both spurred each other on, particularly over the last few years, is incredible.Crazy seeing Anderson and Broad top of the all time seam wicket takers ahead of McGrath
Absolutely. How long can they both go on for do you think?The way they've both spurred each other on, particularly over the last few years, is incredible.
McGrath at his best was near enough untouchable, but Anderson deserves to be up there in the conversation with him.How do people rate Anderson against McGrath? I'd put McGrath well ahead personally, but Anderson is incredible for longevity and consistency in English conditions.
Yeah, He's definitely in the conversation with his class and the pure number of wickets. It's the average of McGrath which raises him above for me, and that's taking into account it dropped a bit towards the end of his career.McGrath at his best was near enough untouchable, but Anderson deserves to be up there in the conversation with him.
McGrath is well ahead, outside England Anderson’s record is nothing special, 74 matches 238 Wickets @30.61How do people rate Anderson against McGrath? I'd put McGrath well ahead personally, but Anderson is incredible for longevity and consistency in English conditions.
Declines can happen quickly but they've got the appetite and skill to adapt to play for a few more years yet. They seem realistic about their playing time too. Whilst the likes of Archer are out of contention, they'll have a place for sure.Christ, thought the 3rd Umpire was going to ask for ultra edge then
They're not in the same class.How do people rate Anderson against McGrath? I'd put McGrath well ahead personally, but Anderson is incredible for longevity and consistency in English conditions.
He might do well in Pakistan.Crawley’s going to live off the 50 for the next year or so isn’t he?
I wouldn't say it is 'crazy'.Crazy seeing Anderson and Broad top of the all time seam wicket takers ahead of McGrath
McGrath for most of his career was ahead. Better average, better away from home. The remarkable thing is about Jimmy is he just keeps getting better and better. His performances in the past 4-5 years have been phenomenal, and he's had some of his most impressive returns in this time, regularly having series averaging under 20, and getting good figures away even in Australia and India where he didn't do so well before. I think you could make an argument that Jimmy at 36-38 or so reached a higher peak than McGrath did, but overall McGrath had a more sustained period of elite performance.How do people rate Anderson against McGrath?

On the contrary, both of them are at their absolute best when they feel slighted by being left out. Broad showed it time and again and Anderson has done so this year after the dropping for the West Indies tour.Declines can happen quickly but they've got the appetite and skill to adapt to play for a few more years yet.

We will get smashed.Pakistan away next which is will be a massive challenge.
Are we even sure it’ll happen with the flood situation?Pakistan away next which is will be a massive challenge.
I'm not sure what the situation is where the grounds are located. Effective spin bowling will also be an issue.Are we even sure it’ll happen with the flood situation?
Our bowling looks a fair bit toothless overseas without a real change of pace.
So obviously after yesterday this post came to mind, and I think that would be very harsh with two finals and a decent county championship season even though the points deduction has seen us go from unlikely to just about impossible.Looking like a draw is our best chance now. Not watching so i don't jinx it.
Chapple and Chilton should go if we don't win anything this season.
Yep, it would certainly be harsh. Maybe they need someone with a bit more Big-game experience in the dressing room though.So obviously after yesterday this post came to mind, and I think that would be very harsh with two finals and a decent county championship season even though the points deduction has seen us go from unlikely to just about impossible.
I am thinking it’s probably Dane’s time to hand over captaincy mind. Even if he wasn’t skipper yesterday, that T20 final was horrific from him.
Darren Stevens is available…Yep, it would certainly be harsh. Maybe they need someone with a bit more Big-game experience in the dressing room though.
All looking very positive at Lancs tbh. Let's hope we can take the next step next season.
That would be amazing. Imagine the frothing mouths and gnashing of teeth as the One Day Cup transfers from Darren Stevens' old team to his new oneDarren Stevens is available…
