He's only outbowled in Asia. Anderson is slightly ahead in ENG and NZ, while gets clearly outbowled in Aus, SA and WI. Overall, it's pretty closeAsia performance (23 vs 35) and NZ, While Rabada did better in Aus.

Including SA and Eng are kind of dumb, they're their home grounds, both have been brilliant there but Rabada a bit moreso in SA. Aus, I'd give it to you but Anderson is EONS ahead in NZ, in WI Anderson averages 20 and Rabada 16.5, isn't really much there.He's only outbowled in Asia.

In stats guru perhaps but iirc Rabada had a horror tour to Oz last time out, which his figures didn't fully reflect. Picked up a bunch of cheap slogged wickets when matches were already lost, in no small part to him bowling (uncharacteristically) awfully in his first couple of spells every Test.Rabada better in Australia.
How exactly is Anderson eons ahead in NZ? And ofc their home conditions should be included, they play 50% of their games there! Ofc their avgs away favour Anderson (in the same period) but one can't simply ignore the earlier part of Anderson's career. Also, I have no issues in anyone putting Anderson over Rabada, but it isn't as one sided as it is being made out to be.Including SA and Eng are kind of dumb, they're their home grounds, both have been brilliant there but Rabada a bit moreso in SA.

again, no matter how you slice it, a 23.8 away/neutral avg in the same timeframe Rabada averages 26.9 away, is not a good look for Rabada in the comparison.
Yeah. It's why I noted Anderson is much better in Asia. It's closer in Australia. Obviously Rabada has the more destructive attributes for those conditions and he had an elite tour in 2016, but he can leak on good pitches. And Anderson did do very well in 2010-11. Some really flat pitches in that series. That was near the beginning of his transition from mediocre to top class.In stats guru perhaps but iirc Rabada had a horror tour to Oz last time out, which his figures didn't fully reflect.

in the timeframe we're discussing Anderson's averaged 20 in NZ and Rabada averages like 30 so yeah that's a pretty significant gap, if you include the home conditions that's fine, I already said Rabada in SA is a bit better than Anderson in England, though I'd argue SA for the majority of the last 20 years has been a much harder place to bat than Eng but I'm fine with Rabada being ahead in home conditions. and actually, with how big Anderson's career is, with how many matches, I do think the first 1/4 of it can be ignored if he was consistently brilliant for as long as he was once he found his perfect action.How exactly is Anderson eons ahead in NZ?

Is he already "was"Good list but Mohammad Abbas was better than a few of those bowlers
Very surprised at a Kiwi saying this.Good list but Mohammad Abbas was better than a few of those bowlers
He was already a was for much of his career. Had a 10 test peak and a 15 test declineIs he already "was"
