England v india third test

[Bri]

Hes one of our best ever bowlers

Not remotely interested in how many runs he scored from number 10

Strange thing to focus on

The (slightly) annoying thing for me is Anderson and Broad bowl as a team and they do that purposely. However, it seems to mean that when one bowls short the other does too and then that's often the times when the game is lost. TB this series and the same when the Indians were here last.

But given their records how can you complain. Their methods are overwhelmingly successful.

There only 4 other players in the history of the entire game that have achieved what he has in terms of runs and wickets combination.

The vast majority of runs in the first half of his career.

Johnson continuing to speciously ignore the fact people are annoyed with Broad because he's playing within his ability, not just with the bat but with ball as well.

If he bowled like Steyn people wouldn't give a toss about his batting.

He would struggle to make a top twenty of England all time fast bowlers.

In better nick this year but was awful last season: average 36 at SR78

I’m looking forward to hearing the 20 better than him. I could probably find 10 better. But not 20

You would probably struggle to find 10, for him to say they is 20 better I find hard to believe.

Truman
Barnes

That’s a stab at it. Obviously debatable

I forgot Saj for fucks sake

Yeah that’s fair enough. I was saying you could make an argument (not a good one) for outside the top 10, but never the top 20
