Philander also never got owned by George Bailey.Also just saying Philander has never lost a series in Australia

The key was bowling from Tremlett and Bresnan - big strong guys who hit the pitch and bat hard.

Anderson bowled better in that series than Philander did in Australia is the point.

Nah Philander’s 5/21 beats anything Jimmy has ever done in Australia.

No he didn’t. The bloke’s ordinary. Bowled well by his own standards but no one else’s

Bresnan only played in the last 2, Tremlett the last 3. Neither had to bowl on the Brisbane flatbed hence their averages being better than Anderson. Anderson took more wickets than both in the decisive matches in Melbourne and Sydney.
The key was more having 7 decent batsmen in the same team at the same time.

Anderson's first innings fourfers in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney helped set up those three victories.

Md Shami has a better average in Aus than Anderson, and while everyone knows I am a big fan of the muscularity Shami brings to the game, I don’t think anyone would be saying he’s an all timer.
Anderson is a moderate upgrade on Derek Pringle (with bat and ball tbf to him). And he has a pirates delight, disgraceful for a pace man.

Waqar, Walsh, and Pollock average 30+ in Australia and are generally rated as ATGs.

By who?
Waqar had an ATG peak but was rubbish here, Walsh ranks miles down the list of WI pacers and Pollock is chronically over rated by people on CW for some bizarre reason I’ll never fathom. Never turned a hair when he had the new rock vs Aus.
Should also be said that the Aus sides Anderson has bowled to, with the exception of 06/07, have hardly been vintage line ups cf the 90s-2000s sides the others had to bowl to.

Ouchy wouchy, that's even harsher than your 34 crossword.

I mean you say that, but Smith, Labuschagne and Warner have better averages than Martyn, Katich and Langer... and they never had to face Warne and McGrath!!

It is surprising that Anderson hasn't done well in NZ, you'd expect it to be almost the perfect conditions for him, especially the pitches on his later tours. Like 2018 when England were rolled out for 58.

Broad has been decent here interestingly.
