AmreekanDesi Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 People here often deride Jimmy Anderson for being a home bully and being absolutely useless abroad but this Ashes, at the age of almost 36, the old master has taken 15 wickets so far at an average of 24 on pitches that can only be termed as absolute bonafide roads. just because he is an absolute legend in English conditions shouldn't take away from the fact that he is a good bowler overall and would walk into most sides Cricketics 1
Gollum Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 He will never get respect here because of his antics/smugness plus the innumerable whippings he has handed over to our batsmen over the years, including making SRT and Kohli his customers. But he is a legit ATG, a superior version of Zak who himself is a legit Indian ATG.

Besides Zak didn't exactly set the world on fire in seamer friendly conditions except a 3-4 year period. Anderson is a superior version of Zak.

sensible-indian Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 Really really good bowler. Gollum 1

SUMO Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 Simply great bowler of our times. Great exponent of swing and seam bowling. He is delight to watch in english conditions.
Cricketics Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 Best bowler when the ball is swinging. My favorite bowler along with Hazlewood and Morkel who can bowl all day with heart. My three fav - Anderson, Hazlewood and Morkel. Gollum 1
chewy Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 Well Jimmy Clouderson in the news for ball tampering again DHONI_FANN and velu 1 1
Clarke Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 Incredible endurance: Few would blame James Anderson if he was feeling a little weary. With the last delivery of his 17th over in New Zealand's second innings in Christchurch he had bowled more deliveries in Test cricket than any another pace bowler: 30,020. The previous record belonged to another fast bowler of great longevity, Courtney Walsh, and now ahead of Anderson are three of the greatest ever spinners: Shane Warne, Anil Kumble and Muttiah Muralitharan http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/23007257/anderson-hard-yards-set-new-record
Rightarmfast Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 Absolutely cant stand clouderson. He is no ATG. He is an average and at times above average bowler. He would be biting the dust had he been bowling in India his own life.
