How much better was Anderson over Botham as a bowler?

Highly rated and it's well animated but not one of my favourites.

I'd pretty much lost interest in the anime though by then because the ninja war arc just dragged on sooo long. So it's hurt from my investment pov. I prefer Sasuke vs Deidara, Sasuke vs Danzo, Shikamaru & Asuma vs Hiddan & Kakuzu, as well as the aforementioned Jiraya vs Pain. Sasori vs Sakura/Chiyo dragged at the start but had a couple of great episodes at the end too.

Anyone else disappointed Jiraiya didn’t Edo at the end? Surely there was some of his DNA lying around somewhere :naughty:

Why though? Not on overall stats. Longevity?

around 8-9 years into his career Botham was finished off by the rib injury in Australia in 1986, after that injury he became a Sunil Gavaskar speed bowler, he averaged 58 with the ball after that, before that he was averaging 27 with a great output of fifers. Anderson from 2010 onward after getting his action reworked was just a world class pacer for far too long for me to pick Beefy over him.

He’s isn’t better. The overall career isn’t that different and Botham reached heights Anderson could only dream of.

First half of his career, Botham was taking well over 4WPM@23.

I don't see why you think there is a big gulf between them though. Even if Anderson is ahead on longevity.
