Yes it's too bad we have like 20 test venues, if not more, otherwise Kumble would certainly have featured in that list. It's also much easier to play at the same 2, 3 or 5 venues in a season than like 15-20 spread over 4 or 5 seasons!

You still need to ask ?

Trueman, Barnes, Bedser, Statham, Willis, Botham (maybe)....some better, some around his level no matter how you look at it.

England rate Anderson above Steyn

[rtmohanlal]

BobWillis, Fred Trueman & Dereck Underwood were better bowlers

If only Kumble played against Pakistan 7-10 matches at Firoze Shah Kotla, He would have easily scored a century

[Bigg Brother]

Broad isn't far behind..He is 4 year younger than Anderson and he is around 120 wickets behind Anderson..Surely he will also have a long career as He doesn't play LOIs.

Steyn has taken wickets all over the world.

 

Anderson has taken wickets all under the clouds.

James Anderson reaches England's highest bowling ranking in 38 years

[express bowling]

Anderson averages 32.6  away from home.

 

He cannot be the best ever bowler from England.

 

(  If Pujara is criticized all the time, as he scores heavily at home and not away, then so should be Anderson )

This guy's away avg will go up further when they tour SL next, but then Nasser will make excuses that in these conditions SL is just better than his middling team. All the while ignoring the tailor made conditions he gets at home, heck when Eng toured Ind they got the best of batting conditions on the flattest tracks that season, won 4 tosses and still whined at the end.

In England, he is certainly the best.  Outside at many places, you need that extra pace which he does not have.

International players cannot be judged based on home performances only.  

 

If Anderson were an Asian cricketer, you would see articles galore on this ... and multiple TV shows on this.
