Not quite Jackson Bird level, but the lads done OK eh.



Suck it *****

taking 3.8 wickets per test is barely doing your job, but good on him for hanging around long enough to make some stats worth looking at

I too agree that Lindwall was a hack

Hanging around.

17 years at the highest level as a fast bowler. Good on him huh.

Interesting stat the sky comms put up the other night. Of the 4 bowlers to cross 600 wickets, Jimmy did it in the fewest deliveries.

 

[GIMH]

You would expect so given they're spinners tbf but still nice

 

[Burgey]

Genuinely never feared the bloke as an opposition supporter. Serviceable trier but regularly fails to step up against the best opposition. Terribly, terribly conditions-dependent, despite the best efforts of his hapless boosters on here referring to three decent OS tests over a 15 year career as proof "he really can do it anywhere." Also widely regarded as the most despised bloke on the international cricket circuit and a genuine **** of a human.

Congrats on the milestone though.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Come on guys. Yes that's all true but give the bloke some credit. He may not be particularly good but he still took the wickets.

 

[Burgey]

I literally just congratulated the fella on his achievement. He must be very tired. He's been bowling for a long time. He certainly looks very tired. And sour. Always so sour.

Yeah he looks like like he wants the kids off his lawn.

You should have some sympathy

 

[Pothas]

**** cricketweb. He is my favourite cricketer ever (that is not called Moeen Ali)

 

[Pothas]

It is not his fault that he comes from a country where people actually like to go to Test cricket.

 

[stephen]

Insane that I remember him bowling in the 03 world cup and thinking he looked like he had all the raw ingredients to become a decent bowler. Pity it never worked out.

All jokes aside, well done staying fit for that long. No other fast bowler had managed it.

How could they put that up “the other night” when he took his 600th wicket today? And in more deliveries than Murali.

 

[aussie tragic]

Congrats on Jimmy being fit enough to play so many tests that he just had to have the most wkts for a pace bowler. Broad will also do the same if he stays as fit.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

i think he's slightly overrated but geez the grapes here are sour

 

[harsh.ag]

Given all the cricket is going to be held in England and Australia for a while, I see him retiring with 700 wickets.

 

[harsh.ag]

He is my favourite cricketer ever

Why has such fate befallen you

"Also widely regarded as the most despised bloke on the international cricket circuit and a genuine **** of a human." - Burgey

"Despised"? Really? I can understand non-English supporters "despising" the adulation he receives from certain quarters but such a sweeping statement is, quite frankly, ridiculous.
As for the "genuine **** of a human" comment I'd be interested to know the basis of such a statement. From what I have heard and read he is one of the sport's nice guys. Only a real **** of a human would make such a judgement.

Congratulations Jimmy, no matter what twisted and bitter comments emanate from a certain quarter, yours is a wonderful achievement.

 

[TheJediBrah]

For all that we love to joke around and **** on Jimmy here, he has been an incredible bowler for a long time now. As an opposition fan there is no bowler in the world I've feared more in certain conditions than him.
