I think Broad in particular is a very good one day bowler and it's hard to understand how you don't think he is and to say that neither are quality bowlers is a bit dishonest tbh. Broad's got 124 wickets in 73 games at 25, I don't know many fast bowlers around at the moment who can top that. I think Anderson has started to improve over this last year and I wouldn't be surprised if he has a very good year in the one day stuff.
Hussey has had 6 world cup innings and in those innings has made 87 runs at 17.4.
Mate.... seriously were you even watching those games..? Hussey probably didn't get more than a few 5-6 overs to bat in any of those games, infact during the last worldcup pretty much all the runs came from Hayden, Gilly, Ponting and Clarke, the rest of the batsmen barely got a hit.
Broad's ER is a fair bit above 5. Its hard to think of a regular anywhere in the world with a worse ER than that. Granted he takes wickets, but it shows that hes getting belted around the park while hes doing so, so it all balances out. Anderson does a job, which is take wickets with the new ball especially since he usually gets the white ball to swing (which is important to the side because I think Broad is really only a specialist death bowler) but to suggest that he's a quality bowler when he is averaging 30 @5RPO really highlights both how many poor bowlers there are in ODI cricket at the moment and how we tend to confuse the 2 forms of the game.

He had a point though, Clarkey is pushing out too much whilst trying to rotate strike.
That's one of the main problems with his batting these days, he is crouching a lot lower in his stance these days which is what's really causing him to reach for the ball.A kid telling Clarke how to bat on an interview

This post is a perfect example of why you should never solely look at averages and a list of scores without watching the match(es).

When you open and bowl at the death you are going to go for a few runs and to be honest 5.15 is not bad at all. When you compare Broads stats with someone like Steyn, he has much the better return, Steyn goes at 5.27 at 29 average, whereas Broad goes at 5.15 and averages 25. So this talk of you won't find a worse ER than that and getting belted around the park is quite frankly wrong. When you look into Anderson stats he's been better than that 30 average shows, he had a terrible 2008 where he averaged 74, but most years he's been around 25 and while Strauss has been Captain he averages 27. I think on the whole around world cricket, there is a lack of really good one day bowlers, which is surprising considering how much they play.
