Curtly Ambrose vs Jimmy Anderson

[SillyCowCorner1]

No freaking way!

Anderson can never be an Ambrose.

Ambrose is the kinda guy who gets transferred from another school and takes your girlfriend.

Any Anderson fanboys changed their mind?

I think Jimmy is great but no way would I swap Curtley for him. Not many bowlers ever I would swap Curtley for. Possibly only Marshall, Hadlee and McGrath that I was fortunate enough to see.

I can't believe the OP was serious

The uniforms from that World Cup are the best ever.

Spot on!

1999 uniforms were good too, but 1992 had the best ones

Bring those back please

According to Alec Stewart he'll be 100% the best fast bowler ever if he takes more wickets than the rest. He really is a pratt. Last week he said the Lords wicket was full of runs.

Can't believe he would say something like that given he had the first hand experience of opening the batting against all the great fast bowlers from the 90's

He clearly graduated from the Adders School of Numbers

C'mon SillyCow! you even devoted your precious time to justify this?

Jimmy A is the greatest out and out swing bowler ever

Wasim, Lindwall, Alderman all disagree.

I mean, Alderman was basically Anderson but much better. If Alderman had been English he'd be remembered as an ATG. In 12 tests in England, Alderman took 88 wickets at 19. Unbelievable. If Alderman had been English and played 76 tests in England like Anderson has, Alderman would have taken 608 IN HOME TESTS ONLY!

Anderson is ahead of alderman by about as big a margin as ambrose is ahead of anderson.

Loved your math though.

Come on you can't extrapolate stats like that but yeah I forgot about wasim for some reason it never registered that he was an out and out swing bowler simply because he had so many tricks. Lindwall I don't know haven't seen him, one of my fav swing bowlers was Damien Fleming shame he couldn't play many

Fleming deserved a spot in the 01 ashes. Conditions made for his bowling. Stupid overrated Brett Lee

I loved the fact you thought he was being serious to begin with.

Can't blame me when the post starts off attempting to be serious and then veers off into trolling. Gotta commit to one or the other.

That decision probably cost them the 5-0

That's just silly. Skill wise, Alderman did everything that Anderson does but he did it better and more effectively.

Can't blame me when the facts clearly show Alderman did what Anderson does but did it better.

 

[Starfighter]

I don't recall Alderman being able to swing the ball back into the right hander. That's something I suppose.

Heh, reading back over this thread I can't believe anyone took my comment as anything more than a sledge.

Of course Anderson isn't in Ambrose' class but no one takes that many wickets if they're bad.
