James Anderson vs Kagiso Rabada

[_00_deathscar]

Rabada – 2.2 WPM (35 avg with 71.7SR)
Cummins – 2.81 WPM (29.8 avg with 63 SR)
Anderson (post 2010) – 2.96 WPM (24.8 avg with 60.7 SR)

include full careers and Anderson's WPM is still ~ Cummins

Fair enough, I stand corrected. Expected for Rabada maybe but surprising for Cummins.

Anderson has better WPM by a bit and significantly superior average and even better SR, so like, it's safe for me to say Jimmy was much superior in that condition.

Is a bowler who's played fewer test matches than Matthew Hoggard better than a bowler who played at the top level for more than twenty years and amassed over 700 wickets?!

Behave yourselves.

Yes, Ray Lindwall, Alan Davidson, Michael Holding and Joel Garner are better than James Anderson

Never heard of them. And you can never trust a man called Joel anyway.

Similarly, you can never trust a person who is named after a place, or after a builder in Fawlty Towers.

dw I understood the point though re: longevity.

Bumrah and Cummins also have even worse availability than Anderson

Never heard of them.

Not their fault.

 

[sledger]

Not their fault.

Yes it is. It's not my responsibility to go out of my way to learn about third raters. If they want to be taken seriously it is incumbent on them to make me take notice.

Actually, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for bothering to correct my views

You are right to thank me. You are a better person now.

I thank you again to accept my gratitude. (Guess I'm a betterer person now)
