Nice one Jimmy.

 

[MW1304]

Jimmy's average threatening the 27s, damn.

 

[Furball]

This Anderson bloke isn't bad.

 

[Furball]

Jimmy's average threatening the 27s, damn.

I'm pretty sure it was 27.something before the India tour.

 

[Bijed]

I'm pretty sure it was 27.something before the India tour.

It was low 28.xx, but not quite in the 27s, I think

 

[MW1304]

It was low 28.xx, but not quite in the 27s, I think

I don't know if it's even possible to know in-match, but the closest he got after any test seems to be low 28s against Pakistan last year yeah.

In any case, this summer suggests we can't put an expiration date on him.

what you need when you're 5 down and over 200 behind is expansive drives to the best swing bowler in the world.

Great spell by Anderson.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is really poor from SA. Disappointing series as a whole from them.

600 wickets?

Jimmy Anderson has swung both ways here at this ground... quote from Bumble...lol

 

[honestbharani]

So disappointing from RSA. One of those occasions where even saying "I called this yesterday" does not take away the disappointment. Was shaping to be such an excellent series after the first two games, but then Philander got sick and it all went to **** for RSA.

 

[Howe_zat]

Has he done all this from the same end?

Has he done all this from the same end?

More importantly, was it done at the same time?

friendly reminder that there are people who think broad is better than anderson.

Broad is more deadly these days as he has more magic spells than Jimmy seems to now but he has been well off his best in this series.

 

[MW1304]

friendly reminder that there are people who think broad is better than anderson.

Well yeah because he performs across a bigger range of conditions these days. But Jimmy is as destructive as anyone at home.

Broad's been kinda rubbish this series, which hinders my argument a bit. Still maintain it though.

South Africa have barely middled a genuine run-scoring shot in the last hour.
