Is it time James Anderson is dropped?

[marc71178]

well..i hardly think anyone would have mistook which mcgrath you were talking about...

I had to clarify!

 

[marc71178]

That is partly because of the flat wickets and quick outfields.

So why do you criticise Anderson for what is a fairly good eco rate when you consider his wicket taking ability?

 

[gibbsnsmith]

for who???

So people like Walsh, Ambrose, Garner, Gough, Pollock Marshall, Holding etc played when the first 15 over rule was in and they were very accurate.

I think that Walsh, Ambrose, Garner, Gough, Pollock, Marshall and Holding might just slip into a list of the 100 greatest bowlers of All-time...:rolleyes:

These are great bowlers! You can't compare someone like Anderson with them... as yet. No one is claiming that Anderson is a great bowler. He's a good young talent and his economy rate is acceptable for an up-and-coming youngster.

Nowhere near top I don't think.

However about 1 year ago, I was below 1,000 posts, so since then I'm about 25 or so.

Spotted.

I assume that I was going to say "is not that bad" and then changed my expression to "is acceptable" but did not fully edit. Thanks for pointing that out.

I thought so, but wasn't sure - seemed a bizarre post!
