Road to the Ashes 2021/22

[Adders]

no, pitches and their weather too

And you can stfu up too.

 

[Burgey]

Not like intensity levels are different at the very top. Not like being both fit and good enough to play Test Cricket for close to two decades is an achievement in itself. Not like the fact his average has actually improved consistently as he’s got older is noteworthy.

no he’s purely a beneficiary of England’s schedule and that’s it

If he was that good he wouldn't get dropped every few tests.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Trying to demean someone who’s been playing Tests for 18 years and performs the physically most demanding task in Test Cricket by pointing out how often their team plays is not the smartest diss tbh

You're overly defensive because you know it's true. It doesn't have to be demeaning, it's just a thing that is

 

[GIMH]

It’s true that if we played less Tests he’d fewer wickets. Not exactly rocket science. Everything else is insecure bluster

For all the "sEnSiTiVe AuStRaLiAnS" memes that are around, the reality is not even close to how precious and pissy england fans get when someboy doesn't rate James 34.56 Anderson

 

[GIMH]

Hey, everyone is entitled to an opinion, just seems like the anti-Anderson ones are usually devoid of context, logic, coherence and intelligent thought.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Would you be less bitter of someone said "Alistair Cook runs column" instead?

 

[GIMH]

I'm not bitter at all. Discussion over anyway

this is too much credit to the english tbh. i think everyone acknowledges he's an excellent swing bowler. it's when the poms have a few too many beersies and declare him an ATG that we see drama.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

So the great announcement today is that the tour will go ahead pending “several critical conditions.”
In other words they achieved nothing.

Oh **** off you silly little twerp

I have it on good authority that one of those conditions is that James has to instaban anyone who presents an opinion on James Anderson that is only based on the 06/07, 13/14 and 17/18 Ashes.

Could be a quiet winter

Could be a quiet winter

'ate opinions of a player based on three of the four times they've toured somewhere (majority)
'ate criticism of a player's adaptability in australian conditions
'ate coming to australia and getting blanked five zip because our "strike bowler" is useless in said conditions

luv clouds and overcast weather
luv "resting"
luv six by eight cells at pentonville road gaol

simple as

I’m liking the direction this thread is taking.

Would also like to take the opportunity to point out that KW averages 20 in SA and SL, around 30 in England. Fake ATG imo. ?

 

[GIMH]

Shall I go to bed or drink some more? Wife is gonna pissed either way as I’m supposed to be up early to help with some nonsense

Go to bed, wake up early and help her with whatever it is she needs. Then give her a kiss and tell her you love her.

Now that GIMH is asleep lets post some Jimmy FACTS

- The only reason his record is impressive is because of English test spam
- Myth that he only does well in cloudy conditions. Sometimes he doesn’t do well in them either.
- Averages 35 with the Kookaburra
- Gets dropped on a regular basis
- Chirps all the time but is very thin skinned himself
- Very unfriendly and bitter person

 

[GoodAreasShane]

It's totally unfair to say Anderson is no good in Australian conditions

He's also been mostly underwhelming in home Ashes series as well

 

[GIMH]

You’re all wankers

 

[Nintendo]

Anderson also averages 40 in second innings recently, old man is a 1st innings bully.
