Seriously, one has to be deeply passionate about fast bowling to have motivation to bowl in those conditions. Pitches in Pakistan have been the flattest I have ever seen from my experiences of watching cricket on television.

Also very small sample size but Ajaz Patel has played 8 tests.
In the UAE - 3 tests for 13 wickets at 29.61
In Sri Lanka - 2 tests for 9 wickets at 26.88
In NZ - 3 tests no wickets and no average yet (has hardly ever bowled in tests in NZ although has done well in NZ 1st class cricket).

Wagner not dependent on conditions. Can bowl ANYWHERE. When he and Southee bowl together they take 9.25 wickets!

That wasn’t because of conditions though.

I was mainly talking about last 10 to 15 years.
And do you believe in sample size ?
Sample size of 89 vs 6/8

I'm as big a believer in extreme caution regarding sample sizes in cricket as anyone here, but imposing that here basically makes Anderson the winner by default because there are only two bowlers in contention (the other being Broad).

Atleast 15 matches is what I am asking meaning 3 to 4 tours.
Many players can have 1-2 successful tour over a period of 10-15 yrs.

Silly, other players don't have a choice whether to play a bunch of tests in England. And there's still a few recent players on there.
Fact is Anderson hasn't had a single series to match, say, Lillee's 1972 performance.

So you consider Pant as a better wkt keeper batsman as compared to Gilchrist for Australian conditions ?

You’re right, Anderson has been much better than any visiting pacer over the last 15 years.

Nothing unexpected about that though. I would bet they would have bowled more than half the team's overs in the matches they played together, would expect them to take more than half the wickets.
