and that should count against him because it's mostly his own fault. (as we saw in england)

Bond was never lazy or unfit though. He was a perfectionist and a true champion.
Ryder is the perfect comparison in this instance imo.

Dunno, there's no proof that Zaheer's lazy actually. It's just speculation from us based on his flabby arms that he didn't work out during his injury. Unfit yes, but lazy perhaps not.

There was a time when Zaheer's commitment was questioned. Was it Greg Chappell?
EDIT: Zaheer mentally lazy, Agarkar baffling...but Pathan is special. Pathan

I don't think he has it on demand per say. And Steyn can bowl it pretty well too, when required.
Did it against India at crucial times.
Also Steyn has shown himself to be better at Reverse so far, and also at roughing a player up with short balls on even slower pitches with really aggressive bowling.

Zaheer IIRC had a marginally better record recently than both Anderson and Steyn, when fit. But obviously a lot more injury prone than those 2.

:He wanted to throw out all the senior players except Dravid it seemed and replace Kumble, Sachin, Zaheer,Ganguly etc.. with Pathan, Raina, Uthappa, Yuvraj, Chawla etc... all of a sudden.
(hyperbole, but you get the drift.

Most is probably over doing it but The Cricketer and All Out Cricket both claimed that Anderson was the best bowler in the world.

Yeah. I mean, if you had to choose Zaheer or Anderson ATM I'd have to go with Andrrson because I'd be worried Zaheer wouldn't get through the match.

awta even though Zaheer probably a more versatile bowler than Anderson. Just that he isn't on the park most days of the year.
His body is not designed to bowl fast
no, he doesn't.
hahha agreed! I was reading that post with a "wtf" expression thinking the difference between mcgrath and wasim is 1-2 runs while anderson and steyn is what, close to what, 8 runs now?
he under-utlizes it to be honest and Anderson's inswinger is by better by some distance.
true ....
Steyn under-utilizes the in-dipper and the yorker , concentrating mainly on the pace, accuracy, bounce and outswing.
Anderson at times tries too many things

We clearly have somewhat different views on cricket. I'll continue to hold the opinion that Steyn is the A-league bowler followed by Anderson and Khan in B-league. And these two bowlers being significantly better than Morkel, Gul, Southee and the others.I don't think Anderson has ever really "ripped it" at any point of his career because he IS a second tier bowler, so I would be more worried about the next 5 months, let alone 5 years.
But...if he can do something worthwhile in the next 5 months I will be happy to eat humble pie, the question is will the deluded do likewise?
No issues with people agreeing to disagree. Let's do that here!
