only on cricketweb can the 3rd highest test wicket taker of all time not be considered an atg in definite terms and i say this as someone who memes on Anderson
This is kind of like saying Forest Gump, who jogged across America, is in the class of Usain Bolt because he has more miles. It's like comparing Spam with Rib Eye because there is more on the shelf.

There was a time way back in 2005 when a majority of the population thought that Crazy Frog was the best song on the planet.

If Crazy Frog had continued to the present day releasing one best selling/streaming squeaky, novelty remix of an 80s electro banger after another then maybe he'd be an ATG too.
And if you judge Bradman on his last innings he's a forgotten figure in the world of cricket.

In about 50 years time they'll be asking how the **** a seamer got to 700 Test wickets.
They'll be asking what the **** is test cricket

I'll leave it up to Crazy Frog to respond to their brilliance being compared to James ****ing Anderson:

Ring ding ding ding ding ding
Ring ding ding ding bem bem bem
Ring ding ding ding ding ding
Ring ding ding ding baa baa
Ring ding ding ding ding ding
Ring ding ding ding bem bem bem
Ring ding ding ding ding ding

People can diss Crazy Frog and I'll ignore it. They can diss Forrest Gump and I'll (grudgingly) ignore it. I will not accept this Spam slander however. It's longevity is outstanding.

If you ignore longevity, it's perfectly fair to judge him on the 15 year period where he's taken 550 wickets @ 24 with a very good away record.
If you don't ignore longevity, the guy has 700 ****ing wickets.
My whole point was that even if you look at his away record post-2010 its still easily weaker than Pollock and Walsh’s, despite what the overall numbers might suggest. Funnily enough, his worst countries are the ones he’s played the most in.

All 3 were poor in Australia tho thats neat.

You could say that, but you need to remember that from the age of 30 to 41, Forrest was running as fast as Bolt.

And do you mean Ribeye???

Nah he meant Rob Eye. It keeps a watchful look over all the posts in this forum and if it sees something it doesn't like it lauches it's Infraction of doom. Spam still better though.

It's a shame the Mods can't launch the odd Infraction of Doom more often!!

Just sayin, hypothetically if someone made 1000 posts a day and like 3 of them were decent that wouldn't make them a good poster
