Jimmy Anderson

[Fuller Pilch]

I'd say he's more of a Jayawardene or Michael Clarke than a Warner.

Anderson falls right in the middle of where Adders and Flem/Burgey rate him.

Lets not spread fake news. Murali did it in fewer deliveries.

Yeah but Murali was a chucker.

Congratulations to Anderson on a great achievement.

On a side note, why do folks think he's as ineffective outside England? Is it because he's more of a kiss-the-surface type bowler and doesn't really extract movement off the wicket? Which is surprising of itself for someone with such immaculate control over seam position. When I think of Anderson, the picture is of a guy pitching the ball up and giving it every chance to swing. Perhaps he could have dragged his lengths back and used more shoulder in places like Aus and SA.

Makes for a pretty decent end to an evening though, if it's your thing.

An absolutely amazing achievement from Jimmy, a really brilliant bowler. Superb longevity.

sounds about right actually

Yeah but Murali was a chucker.

Doesn't that make his accomplishment greater since it means he achieved more wickets from less legitimate deliveries?

600 wickets from zero legitimate deliveries is pretty incredible

So this thread is basically 'let the salty Aussies salt" thread?

what has it been, a day? come on mate:

Oh my god let's hand out some mod instructions to try to disinfect this utter trainwreck of a thread.

• If your post is focusing on the nationality of a poster or the country they support (real or perceived) of the poster, don't post it. Put the nationalistic rubbish away.
• If all you're doing is quote-replying posts you hate with eyeroll or laughing emoji, give it a break.
• Talking about posters as if they're not there is not on.
• Posts that aren't complimentary of players you like are not personal attacks; do not escalate them to personal attacks
• Racialised jibes at posters you don't like are plainly unacceptable

Cut it out or I'm testing out the new infraction buttons.

Heh, we would be pretty pissed too if someone like Cook broke Sachin's record and then made 3000 runs on top of that.

More like if we dissed Bradman alongside Cook and lied that he was a cheater.

And more salt...

the blatant lies are actually a category beyond salt, tbh.

You've literally become a parody of yourself

Also, surely the rules of a tribute thread applies here? I mean the salt can be taken to other threads.

 

[Daemon]

He hasn't retired yet so fair game imo.

 

[honestbharani]

Tribute, not retirement. Surely threads on congratulating an achievement can be rid of the type of drivel posts we have seen from tjb here? It has nothing to do with Anderson or his achievement.

 

[Burgey]

a really brilliant bowler

No

Superb longevity.

Yes

Read the original post. It invited these responses. It's not a tribute thread it's a "Ner ner we have a mediocre medium pacer who's lasted long enough to take a **** load of wickets at home" thread. it's getting precisely what it deserves.

Yep. Real classy posting all round here guys.
