I think the easiest way to summise is that Anderson on his day is really effective as a bowler and capable performing a role as a true seam bowler in the side, but due to niggles and a complicated action, he'll probably have quite a few days where he isn't at his best and on those days, he has limited control on line and length and is down on pace.Not sure that's correct. Jimmy probably doesn't spray line as much but he showed in the ODIs he still struggles to find a length. Still a superior bowler to Corey, no doubt as when he does find a length it's hit hard and at a good clip. As I said in an earlier post, if he plays as a fourth seamer it'll be in seamer-friendly conditions (probably) and he'll be very effective. Over time he'll learn to bowl consistently to better players, and be a major asset.
Neesham will give you some credible bowling in almost every spell, very uncomplicated action and good strength through the crease - he'll probably never set the world on fire and will best be used as a partnership breaker more so than a strike weapon, but if you want him to keep things quiet, he can do that. I think Neesham has a better template (and more importantly, not the lineage of injuries that Anderson has) to develop his bowling more. I could easily see Neesham morphing himself into a Jake Oram style of bowler ( in his earlier years and prime ) - where we bowls high and hard, nibbles off the wicket and keeps an "At you" line and length. I think if he develops into that role, he'd be a great foil for us and potentially mean we could include him at seven, Watling at 6 and select an additional bowler in place of a bat.
