Jimmy Anderson

[Burgey]

in certain conditions

Well, yes

 

[CricAddict]

Always did well against India, mostly in England but in India as well. Been a nemesis all along. Congratulations on the achievement! Not easy at all for a fast bowler and with limited overs increasing so much these days, there is a chance this record might hold on for a while.

How could they put that up “the other night” when he took his 600th wicket today? And in more deliveries than Murali.

The stat came out at the start of the Pakistan innings, think it was Nass that mentioned if he picks up the 2 wickets inside 13 overs he'll be the quickest to reach 600 in terms of deliveries.

I didn't watch any of last nights play but see Jimmy bowled 19overs in the innings so he may have just missed out on it.

My favourite Jimmy after McNulty and Kimmel.

Poor Mark Vermuelen

Brilliant achievement, I'd love to see his face in a few years though when Broad goes past his total.

It'll probably be no different to his normal sour countenance tbh.

I prefer Neesham tbh

Well done jimmy. Ive figured out how to rank him. He is an atg bowler with a 12 year career who diluted that greatness across 17 years.

Amazing achievement. Nothing to add to what I have already said. A great bowler, a very fit cricketer, used to field in the slips too often IIRC. And helped England become #1 in the world when there was actual competition from several teams as well. Played key roles in his side winning in the most difficult away conditions for them. Basically made the most of his talents and has kept delivering for his team as the lead bowler for more than 10 years now. Not sure what else he has to do, really.

 

[Line and Length]

Is this the sour countenance of which you speak?

 

[Burgey]

A great bowler

Mate, come on

 

[honestbharani]

Not ATG. Great, the level below. I think that is fair. Same as Kumble.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Anyone who makes it to Test cricket is a great bowler

except Saj Mahmood

And Cameron White.

 

[ankitj]

Has a good case to be rated Kumble's equal

Kidding, he is gun. Done great service to his team.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Jimmy or Herath? Both among the top bowlers of the 2010s - who was better?

This thread is so sour its put me off my coffee

Year on year his average has dropped over a period about 12 years. Meanwhile lesser nations roll out the next big thing, he plays 8 tests, breaks and onto the next. And Jimmy keeps going, and keeps owning batsman.

Brain dead aussies like Burgey can c&p the drivel they've been posting since 2009 all they like, they know deep down the only reason they got their 2-2 draw, and therefore retained The Ashes on a technicality having won them with sandpaper, was that Jimmy suffered a rare injury. It was going to be the end of him, like they all are, and yet here we are. Meanwhile Australian quicks in their early 20s need shin replacements and such like. They don't make them like Jimmy over there.
