I think Chris Martin and O Brien averages better than Anderson and Broad anyways. Vaas and Malinga too average better. Bangaldesh for all purposes should not really count.

Get out Chanderpaul, it seems.

O'Brien doesn't open the bowling. Martin = Anderson
Malinga had been injured and Vaas is retired/retiring out. The last opening pair they used for a Test match was: Thushara and Fernando who average 44.37 and 34.90 respectively. Which by your standards makes them the worst.
Now while Malinga coming back would take Thushara's place. Sidebottom would take Broads. So Sri Lanka/New Zealand/England/West Indies and the depleted Pakistan still all have average opening pairs. At best you have Sri Lanka with Malinga and Vaas, New Zealand with Martin and Franklin hopefully fit and at his best though he is close to it(Bond), England with Anderson and Sidebottom, West Indies with Taylor and Edwards and Pakistan with ????(hard to keep up with who is allowed to play) and Gul.
Ok fair points. So I think then it would be SL who can claim that dubious honor. I stand corrected. However, I don't think any of the Aussie openers are going to lose sleep over Anderson's and Broad's figures so far. Broad's in particular. Sidebottom coming back might change it. However he's been out of sorts for some time now.

Precam. Good use of masking arguments mostly but the language structure gives it away.

It's way too simplistic too. Fidel Edwards averages 39 and Jerome Taylor 34, so they're pretty much equally as bad as England's by that measure. When in actual fact they're excellent bowlers hampered by poor bowling earlier in their careers.

Anderson has had a bit of a second coming since New Zealand, similar to Zeeks but much earlier in his career. The guy is actually a decent and rather reliable wicket taker now. Broad though is still a long way away from being a brilliant bowler. He can keep it tight but he is hardly even an Oram in the bowling.
Is this way new posters are greeted here?
