Still brilliant after all these years

Just caught up on this thread.

Humble pie for a few.

Like a fine wine is our Jimmy Anderson......

 

[Bijed]

Jimmy's clearly been reading this thread

Too good a set up for a number 9. Too good for most batsmen.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Drop that Anderson bloke, he is done.

 

[fredfertang]

Hope the sun comes out - the prospect of Big Vern bowling is not a source of comfort

 

[mackembhoy]

Not funny if he ends up missing the test.

But that was hilarious, mind he was missing his arse between his whites

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

Game on now for sure, might be tough batting today with the overheads though.

 

[Adders]

Would it be so crazy to suggest Woakes comes in for Anderson? I mean that never happens but he looks like he's lost his zip and his line/length isn't super consistent anymore. I've seen him bowl sides out in better batting conditions than yesterday morning, and S.A are hardly a solid batting unit.

Do tell us some more.......

Why the **** was the ball changed, Broad having one of his tantrums again

Sounds more like you are. The umpires are the only ones who can actually make the decision.

Nope, its well documented that Broad is a huge pratt

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Only issue I have with Anderson getting wickets is that he may reach 500 this summer and I want him to get his 500th in ashes down under so they have to put it up on the screen and politely applaud him.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Interested to see how this SA attack goes. Not convinced Morris is good enough.

 

[MW1304]

Broad and Jimmy can't do well at the same time in this series apparently. I blame voodoo.

Lambs to the slaughter

Very rarely have as a pair in entire careers, usually one or other does the business and bloke at other end loses rhythm, perhaps trying too hard to match their mate.

 

[Adders]

Get the **** in there!!! 5 fer Jimmy to say stfu to all his doubters.

 

[Scaly piscine]

I worry that England being 50-3 again might be on the optimistic side.
