James Anderson Watch in Australia

[Monkey]

Well what I can see this morning he's doing mighty fine. Stick you stats up your arse. Don't give a shite whether it's a green top, overcast, poor opposition or there are craters on a good length. He's doing what he's paid to do and i'm loving it.

 

[essex boy]

Swann the only other bowler in the top 10 aswell

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM essex boy fuck off

done.

the wankathon on here is embrassing

Theres a few lies in their mind. Pitch was flat as a pancake in Brisbane by early in the second session. In fact traditionally even in the 80s Brisbane as a venue has always had a green top early on the first day and did on the lamentable Hussain bowl first match in 2003?. Its always felt you should opt to bat and get through a tricky first hour. Never has Brisbane in its history been as friendly for the rest of the match. Perth is a lie on your behalf or at least in as much as there was little or no sideways movement from in the match other than perhaps very early on in session 1. It was exactly what you expect from Perth fast and bouncy. From the Daily Telegraphs day 1 report:

"Conditions for batting after lunch were close to ideal. The Fremantle Doctor did not arrive until teatime, and it was not until Australia’s last-wicket pair had wagged their way to 269 for nine that Graeme Swann came on to use it as an offspinner should, from the Gloucester Park end, to maximise his drift away from righthanders. But Hussey alone of Australia’s specialist batsmen remained"

As ive said before batsmen could not have asked for easier conditions in Australia for test matches 1 and 2. For Perth it was faster and bouncier than recent years but a typical Perth 1990s pitch. Only Melbourne for one morning have conditions been easier for bowlers than you would normally expect as conditions in Sydney always have plenty for all types of bowlers. You seem to have been under the mininterpretation that Aussie pitches were all the same - fast, bouncy, nowt for the seamers at any time. You should do your history.

Tremlett has been the most impressive bowler I agree - he will be opening the bowling with Anderson for England for some time to come. Shame for Broad but hes just a notch or two below those two at the moment.

How is Swann doing in the leading wicket taker stakes?? this was his test to get top spot, you should practice what you preach on the wickets, back your judgement and you might have picked Anderson as leading wicket taker, not a spinner

Broad is class and you know it. Hope we dont get too many flat wickets next summer against Sachin or Jimmy could be out the side by the end of the series.

What a disgrace, that our tour leading wicket taker in Finn was dropped for no reason

Bresnan is not test class as you have alluded to yourself and yet looks a world beater...says it all

Why do you keep attacking his predictions? It's fairly obvious why he predicted Swann as leading wicket taker in the series as we all thought he was going to have to do an awful lot of bowling.

This hasn't been the case as the seamers have done the job and the Aussies have created pitches to minimize Swann's influence. Even someone has biased as you can see that is why Swann hasn't been as effective as many thought.

Broad is class and you know it. Hope we dont get too many flat wickets next summer against Sachin or Jimmy could be out the side by the end of the series.

Aye, how dare we take someone out who was going at over 4 runs an over throughout the series despite bowling against 'the worst Australian side in 30 years'. And Bresnan does not look like a world beater, he looks like a solid performer who is benefiting from tight, pressure-creating bowling at the other end which is aiding him in picking up wickets.

green top in Brisbane first day
green top in Peth first two days
green top in Melbourne first two days
green top in Sydney first day

moisture and swing available in every test, what have we learnt about Jimmy, not a lot we didnt already know

Tremlett has been the most inpressive of the English bowlers

Haway man, some of us have been watching the cricket so won't swallow this guff. Must do better. :-D

watching the cricket doesnt make any difference. The Daily Mail journalist watches every ball and he doesnt count according to Rentaghost

interesting we won the toss at Perth, but that was only because there was soemthing in the pitch first session ....yeah right

 

[dangermows]

Another good performance by Jimmy

 

[Hetzkes Ballet Teacher]

Anyway, has he found his watch yet?? I'm getting sick of looking for it.

 

[essex boy]

nice to see Sachin got another 100, starting to get worried that our one trick pony attack will get found out in the summer

You mean an attack that has pace and bounce in Tremlett and (a fit again) Broad, a consistent swing bowler like Jimmy and one of the best spinners in the world at the minute Swann.

'One trick pony attack'.

Tremlett isnt quick. He gets bounce. There is a difference, Harmy was quick and got bounce.

Quick is 90mph. Thats why Tremlett is described as fast medium the same as Jimmy and Broad

Broad can hit and has hit 90mph. Tremlett is generally mid to late 80's, and similarly Anderson is as well. Not many attacks in the world have more than one bowler that bowls more than 90mph regularly so I guess they're all one trick ponies as well?

nee good being quick and getting bounce when it is missing the strip and rocketing past the slips

nice to see Sachin got another 100, starting to get worried that our one trick pony attack will get found out in the summer

great knock from a great player.

has nowt do with how jimmy is doing. jimmy has had an excellent series. really really happy for the lad.

edit: jimmy will cause more probs by moving the ball, unlike the simply bang it in fast bowlers like steyn and morkel

being able to hit 90mph and bowling regularly at 90mph are vastly different

All three are ranked as fast medium because they are fast medium

Morkel, Steyn, Tait & Akhtar are quick as an example

which just goes to show your lack of knowledge on world cricket. Steyn does swing it, even Rentaghost will tell you that

which highlights my point the other day, Jimmy and Harmy have identical test averages, one is rembered for being crap and the other is being described as a v good test bowler :roll:

Yes, but if you describe the England attack as one trick ponies for having three bowlers that bowl between 85-90mph then surely every other nation in the world bar South Africa are as well in that case.

Why do you keep saying this when it's blatently not true?

which would tie in with my point that I have repeatedly told you that the standard of bowling in test cricket is very poor at the minute

south africa are 2 in the world. First and third are sub continent sides where spin plays a big part of the game and where the need to produce out and out quickies is diminished

 

[dangermows]

which just goes to show your lack of knowledge on world cricket. Steyn does swing it, even Rentaghost will tell you that

i havent missed much of this test series, and apart from the first test (where that had been monsoons) i havent seen much swing from steyn.

which highlights my point the other day, Jimmy and Harmy have identical test averages, one is rembered for being crap and the other is being described as a v good test bowler :roll:

many think harmy was good. i dont like.

i also think (actually, i know) that jimmy is having a great series, on a tour he was expected to struggle

Why do you keep saying this when it's blatently not true?

He always makes things up to try to back his argument.

ok. He doesnt swing it, I cant be bothered to argue. Your entitled to your opinion as I am mine

out goes the dummy

i didnt say that did i? i said, from what i have seen this series he hasnt much in the way of swing. you know, the way you say anderson doesnt when conditions dont suit.

I wouldn't want any of them to hoy owt at me like.
