Besides, what about the team perspective. No good having one bloke feeling good if the other 10 feel underdone

[joeljonno]

90 overs to take 10 wickets? Why is no-one complaining about 1st inns declaration or over rates?

Ballance's knocked saved the game and stopped Sri Lanka having a chance of willing it.

You cannot be sure that declaring last night would have had any effect on the result.

[Gerry SA]

Managed to catch the highlights on C5 a little earlier.

The commentary team hailed James Anderson as 'world class'.

This nearly made me fall of my seat in laughter.

Anderson, a home town bully, getting the ball to swing around when the lights where on and thr clouds had rolled in...

'World class'? Do me a favour. Got exposed by Australia good and proper.

[R155]

Stat's don't lie one bad series by the whole team didn't help him, leads the team well

Mitchel Johnson quality to rubbish to world class hard life being a fast bowler

[Sam]

Ah, the ever controversial comments ,

[Gerry SA]

Anderson averages 36 outside England.

That's not 'one bad series'

It's the story of his career. King of greentops and hopeless anywhere else.

[Alvaro]

Anderson has dismissed Tendulkar a fair amount, in the subcontinent too. Given your argument, Anderson is poorer in NZ and South Africa than in the subcontinent, where he averages under 30 against India, Pakistan and 32 overall. Not bad for a green topper.

Anderson may not be an all time great but he has great skill and has won test matches home and away. He's had one awful overseas ashes, one poor and one fantastic in 10/11. Never done it against your lot but hey oh, it's just a game.

Plunkett having a good game. 3 wickets so far. 2 drops, and an edge they didn't appeal for.

[TangoWhiskey]

That was a cracking snare from Jordan though!

[Gerry SA]

So was Lords Prior's last stand?

Back to below average again. Absolutely shocking behind the pegs today...

You just don't drop dollies of the greatest flat track bully of all time...

Are you calling Sanga a flat track bully?

[Gerry SA]

Are you calling Sanga a flat track bully?

Certainly am.

Nearly 40 Test hundreds and has 6/7 outside Asia.

You do the maths my friend...

Throw in the 9 hundreds vs Bang/Zim

Wasn't asking you to back your claim and provide stats, instead just clarifying who I thought you meant to call a flat track bully. Not interested in a stat debate, you have your own opinion and I have mine.

Strong. The guy averages nearly 60 in tests, second only to Bradman. He's played 123 test matches and has scored heaps of runs everywhere against every team, including two scores of 200+ against your beloved South Africa.

Sangakkara:
1 hundred in Australia
1 hundred in South Africa
2 hundreds in England
2 hundreds in New Zealand
1 hundred in Zimbabwe

29 hundreds in Asia.

Yeah he averages 59, but I'm sure the Don would've averaged 200 had he batted on the dead roads Sangakkara's been plundering roads on...
