Anderson

[mikemanc]

☹


Two different injuries though. I think he’ll give it one last go to try and be fit for the summer

Is that not worse? Easier to manage one recurring injury if you don't have to worry about other areas. Also a sign of wear and tear I guess.

Wouldn't take him to Sri Lanka either, personally.

As said earlier, it's not the place he'd get a lot of help pitch-wise.

Makes a decision easy for the selectors for the third test if Archer is fit.

Apparently it's just a rib injury, so not anything muscular through wear and tear. So hopefully not down to his age or anything

 

[Eggman]

Rather than limit Anderson’s game time, he should be playing every time it’s merited.

That way he will be ‘fit to bowl’ rather than lacking in match fitness.

Any bowler will tell you that the only way to be ‘fit to bowl’ is via match practice and getting the miles into your legs ....... how else can you simulate a third spell late in the day ?

 

[The Breen Machine]

Broken rib, just one of those daft ones really that doesn’t really tell us anything about his overall fitness and conditioning.

Wouldn’t bother with Sri Lanka, but all being well I’d have him around the squad this summer still.
