[DrWolverine]

If you can pick only one for an average team

 

[Johan]

Unbelievably insulting to Anderson, at the very least compare him to Boycott or smth

It is insulting to compare James Anderson to Geoff Boycott tbh..

What? How so?

 

[DrWolverine]

For one Boycott has a good away record.

 

[Johan]

Ok. Anderson for the last 14 years of his career was also good away from home, terrific at home.

 

[DrWolverine]

James Anderson averages :
28 in NewZealand.
30 In India.
33 in SriLanka.
34 in Australia.
34 in SouthAfrica.
Very mediocre record.

 

[Johan]

see how you didn't refute what I said and went to list averages? heh

No one questions his home record.

Since 2010
in Aus : 18 Tests. 63 wickets @ 30
in SA : 7 Tests. 14 wickets @ 31
in NZ : 7 Tests. 28 wickets @ 26
in Ind: 14 Tests. 34 wickets @ 30
in SL : 5 Tests. 16 wickets @ 21

Still mediocre

 

[DrWolverine]

Poor average.
Poor strike rate.
WPM of less than 4(Less than 3 in some countries)

Anderson’s away record is so poor that I am surprised how anyone can call him a great bowler.

removing the one series he played with broken ribs in Australia, his away average was 25.5 over 60 away games, 24 in Asia over 27 games, good enough.

 

[DrWolverine]

First remove one third of his career.
Then remove one series.

Jimmy’s away record is poor however you spin it.

 

[Johan]

First remove one third of his career.

he has such a long career that even if you remove parts of it, his career would be long as hell, the 14 year timeframe I gave is longer than Imran Khan's full time career as a bowler.

Then remove one series.

Because he was injured.

Hint – take a hammer and smash Bumrah's ribs in, he won't bowl to full potential either.
