I just gave an opinion of where he may possibly sit in an all time list,

Bro ffs. I never said that was the only reason why he's kept playing and that he's not special. You're the one inferring things I never said to trigger yourself

Only 11 can be on the field at any time and even then he doesn't get into the squad in my opinion. Sorry. He just falls short.

Nah, for me this isn't an 11 playing a game (who are they going to play against?), it's just whether someone is great or not - Anderson clearly is.

He did quite well in the last 2 tours to India. Don't remember the stats but he was the only English pace bowler getting wickets on turning tracks.

The last 8 years of his career he played 76 Tests and took 275 wickets at 22.28. This is not dissimilar figures to the entire career of Cummins (294 wickets @ 22.43).
If he hadn’t played Australia in that period his average would’ve been 20.6!
He’s certainly an ATG for anyone aged over 30.
Thanks, definitely comparable with Rabada and Cummins, and all three are a smidge below Bumrah (who imo is the only potential ATG here, the other three are the next tier down).
