England can beat India "every day of week": Gough

I'm taking all these joke replies as "no, we can't name someone who's outperformed Anderson."

FMD, 6 months ago it was "Anderson is a vampire, dies when the sun comes out, crap overseas." Now it's "averaging 29 isn't that good."

Was semi-serious about Tremlett tbh.

Steyn, Bravo, Akthar, Nel all have comfortably outbowled Anderson in Australia in the last ten years.

People realize that neither India nor England have actually won their series yet, right? :p

Though, in England's case, keeping the urn is obviously much more important.

Any of them done so in series of more than 3 Tests?
Look, I love Anderson but I think it's a bit unfair to shift the goalposts like that.

Is there an easy way of looking it up on statsguru? I'm not very good with it; took me ages to get those basic stats for Pietersen in the other thread :ph34r:

You can't break it down into series though really; you can only get overall records by bowlers in Australia within any given timeframe, so Anderson appears as 22 wickets @ 41. You can still compare him to the others though.

.. and if Shoaib is going to get a mention then Tremlett isn't a "joke response" given he's taken more wickets in less matches at more than a third less the average.

So basically, Steyn & Bravo have better figures but Akhtar & Nel don't.

On another note, surprised to see Flintoff so high on the list - and Finn!

Tremmers could well have more wickets than Steyn in Aus after the SCG Test

Kinda hope he doesn't though as I wanna see Jimmy & Swann gun it

From the other thread: Zaheer:- 5,10,3,4,8,4,3,4,6 - 47 wickets in 9 games @ 21.97


WAG. That's playing a lot in India, not England or South Africa.

What are those figures? Against Australia overall or something?

We were specifically talking about in Australia which is what that StatsGuru link shows... there's no England/South Africa influence there.

EDIT: Performances in 2010 I see. Relevance to what we were talking about? :p

It is to Shoaib's and others' credit (who average around 30) that they had to bowl to a completely different level of batsmen, against whom the same Anderson came a big cropper. Credit to the big Fred too.
