Gerry be having better things to do on a Friday evening...

But whatever floats your boat/boats...

Anyway enjoy Anderson boosting his average this summer. As next year Australia and South Africa will put him in his place once again.

This is bad news, Gerry being wrong for the 1st time ever, and the target off all his hate still allowed to play cricket!

Some one pm him the samaritans phone number.

God knows what will happen when Anderson takes his average down from 30.09 to 29.99 in the next test, and becomes a great bowler.

Not just great, World Class....

Something better than bashing the clubman  ?

[uknsaunders]

I'm heading off for a "Jimmy Anderson is great" slap up curry with a some friends in a minute. Maybe Gerry might be doing similar?

[Gerry SA]

Where did I say an average under 30 would make Clubman Anderson 'a great bowler'?

World class doesn't mean great.

Philander is world class(average 21) but he's far from great.

Don't be putting words in my mouth...

Yeah boxing. Far more entertaining than the clubman.

Level 3 charge, insistence of Anderson's guilt, 6 hours of evidence and a decision is reached in 10 minutes? Well dome dhoni, well done BCCI, you've finally become parody's of yourselves.

its the equivalent of a case being thrown out. We've known for years that the BCCI is on a power and money making trip, but dhoni really disappoints me. Makes a throwaway comment at the ipl about corruption in cricket, drives this ridiculous accusation - all ego...

i hope the ECB sends them their legal bill. They won't because its the BCCI and their man on the ground dhoni waving their wongers like helicopters showing that they may be in partnership with ECB and CA, but they still rule the roost. Good to see it backfired on them...

Plunkett injured and replaced by Finn.

I'm happy about that. He's been looking good recently.

[ppccopener]

yes good on Finn I find it interesting thou he had to go back to Middlesex to correct his action
Richard Johnson is the one who has worked with him...

or maybe there's a bit of aggro between middx and england I dont think big Gus was impressed with the way he was handled over the winter.

90mph bowlers dont come along that often and need to be looked after
if he plays at old trafford he could give the Indian batsmen the hurry up

I like Steven Finn but I don't think he's ready for recall.

He's taken a lot of wickets Middlesex but his stats aren't fantastic.

44 wickets @ 29.72. So whilst taking wickets he's still going for too many runs.

I'd rather have a bowler in the side that takes wickets than another Bresnan holding up an end to be honest.

I didn't say Finn wasn't taking wickets.

Just going for too many runs. England's preference is to keep the opposition quiet.

Anyway I'd pick Stokes for Jordan.
