James Anderson Watch in Australia

Id like you to name a bowler who has come up against such a woeful Aussie side in the last 20 years.

Your comparing bowlers who have come up against a poor Aussie side (Jimmy) in relation to those who came up against some of the worlds greats

Pathetic



Anderson gets the new ball, your the first to tell everyone how after the first 10 overs, its hard to take wickets over there. Therefore its a very good effort for Finn to have taken more wickets than the leader of our attack considering he is bolwing with an older ball

then when he goes to Australia and comes up against some bloody good batsman,

Surely if Jimmy was so bad though Ponting, Clarke and Katich would have played themselves into form against him?

Pietersen went the same length of time as Ponting without a hundred, yet scored a double hundred in Adelaide, whereas Ponting scored 11 runs in total in the match. Either..

1. KP is better than Ponting
2. England bowled better than Australia and Anderson is bowling the exact right way to Ponting.
3. Australia's bowling attack was very poor.

I know what you are going to say, but you can't rock up, bowl half volleys and expect players of the calibre of Clarke and Ponting to get themselves out. Bowl in the right areas to them, as Jimmy has, and you will reap the rewards, as Jimmy has.

KP is better than Ponting. Ricky is 36 and is on the way down as many greats have done when they reach a certain age. Fine player back in 2005

they are woeful as a team compared to previous Australian side. However, they still ahe some bloody good batsman just not as many as in previous years.

For example there is no Gilchrist lurking at 7

You really should drop some of the lines of argument though. When criticising Anderson you shouldn't really be using the most 'woeful Australian team in years' but then recognising that they have 'bloody good batsmen'.

You dont have to manufacture a scenario to make your point - whatever the state of the Aussie team as a whole he is bowling away from home against bloody good batsmen and thats what he is being judged against.

but I know nothing about anything

yet again, I said Jimmy wasnt threatening in the last test and was solid in the previous two tests.

When your skipper wins the toss on a wicket with grass left on it you should be blowing the opposition top order away not relying on test novices to take the wickets.

He cant handle the pressure and have seen nothing as of yet to change my mind. If he bowls us to the Ashes over the next two tests I will eat my own words



lets be honest if Rentaghost had had has way with the test team, id doubt any of Cook, Bell, Prior etc would still be in the team
Click to expand...

More lies - I have never said Cook should be dropped from the England team and said that Prior needed to get his act together immediately after WI or he should be - and he did.

Bell - i'm delighted to have been proved wrong. Words that you find impossible to sday about yourself sadly. You would have had Anderson out long ago.

most wickets usually play in a certain way all round the world thats why im slightly concerned that you cant give a more definitive answer over what will happen at Melbourne.

Perth has been lower and slower in recent years according to various media outlets

Melbourne recently has been dead as anything and using drop in pitches this is often the case. Under normal circumstances the MCG will have nothing in it for any bowler and certainly didnt for the recent warm up game there. However the Aussies are bound to try and get something with some life in it so it really is impossible to say who it will suit until the morning of the match.

So you have watched every ball of Tremlett being bowled.
Ive watched him bowl at 83-85 licks for a spell. If he has suddenly come back and bowling 5mph quicker which is a huge leap good luck to him. Considering most test analaysts consider him in the low 80s id be surprised but then I dont watch every ball like you...do you have a day job

As long as you and Breen arent preaching after the Melbourne test that you knew what the Melbourne track would be like, I aint got a problem

The Aussies do have a few good batsman, a few injured and a few unknowns. In comparison to the clubbies and fraudsters they are vastly improved. In comparison to previous Aussie batting line ups they are poor

Jimmy has slipped from 3 to 5 in the rankings already, not bad for someone who is bowling well. Couple of ordinary tests like at Perth and he will be back out the top 10. Shames he cant bowl at the clubbies and fraudsters for a while now

After steadying yourself down with a bit of reason you have started to resort to embarrassing stuff again. Firstly you were lying about Tremlett - he was bowling anything from 83 - 88 mph and you would have known that if you had watched any of it, even a spell. I would love to know what made yoiu say 'Tremlett didnt get above 85mph all game' what was going through your mind? Why say something that blatantly wasnt true? Absolutely bizarre and a bit disturbing to be honest.

If you havent watched the cricket what are you doing on here expressing an opinion of something you havent even seen.

Secondly you cant make your mind up about the Aussie batsmen - they are mostly excellent test cricketers and the fact that some of them arent scoring runs is down to our bowlers and Ponting in particular down to Jimmy. The fact that they arent as good as arguably the greatest aussie batting line up in history is neither here nor there - by modern day test standards these are very good players as you keep acknolwedging until it defeats your argument and then you change your mind

Hes having a really good series so far - i know it, every cricket follower ranging from a casual observer through to the best experts know it. If truth be told you know it as well.

Ponting has scored one test 100 since Cardiff 2009, if your trying to tell me Jimmy has bought on Pontings poor form over the last 12-18months your clearly deluded

The sad thing for Jimmy is, this is a good series for his standards and he still isnt good enough to lead the attack

Who said anything about Jimmy bringing on Pontings 'bad form' - A year ago Ponting averaged 63 in a series against Pakistan and rthen had 4 poor test matches against NZ and Pakistan in England. He batted well in India averaging 54 coming into this series and would have expected to carry that on but England and Anderson in particular have been all over him.

Why all the lies though? Why say 'Tremlett didnt get above 85mph all game' when he did on a lot of occasions? It a bizarre way of going on bud.

As I said I saw Tremlett bowl at no more than 85 licks, if he did when I was fast asleep in the middle of the night good luck to him
 
Local media is reporting Jimmy's a doubt for Melbourne due to a side strain. :shock: :-x

No one is preaching, Perth is probably the most famous pitch in the world for how it plays. It was a typical Perth pitch last week in that there was the usual pace, bounce and drift and anyone could have called it.

Probably feeling the pain of countless needles being stuffed into a voodoo doll of him from somewhere in the Essex area.

Terrible boxing injury coming into the tour, flying 20,000 miles on the eve of the test getting no sleep and now a crippling side injury. And hes still won a test match and taken 12 wickets economically at 30 a piece in Australia ;-)

yet still being outbowled by Finn and Tremlett statistically :roll:
 
Finn has an economy rate of 4.30 in the series. If Jimmy had done that you probably would have spontaneously combusted with rage.

been in the test side a year and only bowled at clubbies and fraudsters yet still has more wickets than someone in his 9th year as a test cricket, who incidentally is having a bloomin marvellous tour according to most on here :roll:

No great achievment against this poor Aussie side though, ey?

If the Aussie side are so poor that Jimmy gets a decent haul of wickets against them, then why would that have stopped us winning The Ashes?

If Jimmy played, are we good enough to win The Ashes? Yes or no?

You are one of the worst arguers ever to grace the SMB. You're all caveated out to the point where you disprove your own arguments yet use that information and opinion to back up your previous misguided effort.
