True mate, but sometimes you're just restating old ground and reopening old wounds

When I go through a thread like this, I click multi-quote as I go through. If my point is still relevant when I get to the end, I go ahead with the quote...works much better, IMO

The situation "you" are comparing.. It is basically stupid to just assume everything that went on before a certain situation doesn't matter and then go on a bloody hypothetical tangent that Australia would have won "had" this or that happened... The decision was made and it was not one you wanted... The cricket rules state that the umpire decides what is out and what is not out.. Not Marcuss.. :dry:

They don't really.
The LBW law states
"1. Out LBW
The striker is out LBW in the circumstances set out below."
That delivery met all of the criteria, so he was out. That's that.
The Umpire just incorrectly gave him not out.

Haha, this is getting so utterly pedantic. Might as well shove my oar in..

Last time I checked, the umpire did not raise his finger, so it was not out.. :smug:

I'm taking all these joke replies as "no, we can't name someone who's outperformed Anderson."

FMD, 6 months ago it was "Anderson is a vampire, dies when the sun comes out, crap overseas." Now it's "averaging 29 isn't that good."

Averaging 29 at 4 wpm isn't that good compared to averaging 22 at 6 wpm.

Even if you break series' into smaller parts, which I think is unfair, There is a clear statistical difference in quality in Zaheer's performance against Oz and SA even if you disregard the fact that Zaheer's bowling in ridiculously flat pitches.

As to the Name one bowler thing, It's pretty ridiculous to suggest that the pitches Jimmeh had to bowl on in Oz were harder to bowl on than the pitches Zaheer had to bowl on against Oz. There are a few bowlers who have performed close to how Anderson have performed and one who has outperformed him. Zaheer averaged 10+ runs lower than anyone who played the 2 games.

Nah, it's at home so he gets the Magical Home Pitch Effect and the ball gains 10kph and swings 10 extra inches cause he's Indian. So it doesn't count.
