Yeah, I was looking at the whole summer, when he averaged 32 against NZ and India combined. Overton, Wood, Woakes and Robinson all out-performed him. He'd probably do a decentish job in home conditions next summer, but I dunno. I'd like the bloke to leave on his own terms before it really is too late. Regarding Broad, he averaged 37 in those series, so fair enough.
Looks like you're having a wild stab in the dark to me. Coincidentally, that's what England's batters will probably be doing in the final session tomorrow.
I wouldn't want to be the one to drop Anderson at the start of next summer either. But I don't agree with your final point. If we get to the point where he's hanging on well beyond his sell-by date because he wants one more home Ashes series, or wants to reach some milestone or other, or he doesn't want to be at home with Mrs Anderson, then the selectors will need to do the decent thing.
He's first change out when Cummins comes back.
what about if, on top of the hundred, he gets 5 wickets and Jhye gets nothing again?
Will be a real Test of Cummins' player selection.
This is an excellent doco right now
Yeah it’s very good. Easy to forget what these guys must go through when they have a bad run with injuries.
Of course, I was quoting your own words though about going out on his own terms. Maybe I misinterpreted.
Years of head noise isn’t it
I probably didn't word it as well as I might have done.
except bowling in asia ?
This has been said nearly every Ashes tour in my lifetime
It has, but halba may have a point. Not just the personnel, but where some of better players are in their careers.
