It's easy to read too much into Anderson's failings away from home - his away record is poor, but the South Africa series is the only series to date he's played away from home where he's been the undisputed leader of the attack. His injury is not a blessing in disguise for England - he is our premiere fast bowler and how well Jimmy does will determine how well England do. |

That said he's certainly improved in recent times and if he had a good series it wouldn't be a shock. But it would be something of a pleasant surprise. |

Think you are putting too much emphasis on the 'record'. Anderson bowled 2 game changing spells in the last Ashes series, one of which arguably won the match for England and sent them 1 up. Im not saying he bowled brilliantly throughout the series, but we all know who had the better batting and bowling averages that series and who actually won.

Anderson bowled better than Flintoff in that Lord's Test

I wouldn't say that he did, in fact I would say that his spell at Edgbaston was better but I think its fairly obvious that England wouldn't have been anywhere near the position they were if it weren't for Anderson.

Chances are that we wont be 100% physically or match fit for Brisbane, which is the ground that will suit him best
They then play at Adelaide and I expect him to travel the distance there So early doors, this news is bad for England |

nah again Flintoff bowled incredibly well in the first innings and created pressure which jimmy, brilliantly capitalised on. So Freddie was great in two innings, and Jimmeh was in one. |

Not at all, just don't believe he has lived up to the hype. We heard about how much he'd turned into a match-winner last Ashes. Ho-hum.
If things have changed since then, then we'll see this time around.
