if you use Sir Geoff as a yardstick....nowt as good as in my day, play that bowling with a stick of rhubarb... yawn ...you get the picture
he reckons Anderson is our best bowler since Botham
yes...far more effective in home conditions when it swings about, tends to go just straight when there is nothing in it for him
but I personally think we have the two best opening bowlers for a long long time, and ive been following England since about 1979.
most bowlers have home conditions in their favour,quick tracks in SA, slow turners in the UAE for Ajmal,pace and bounce for Johnson etc in OZ.
Steyn would be the best quick because he has taken wickets all over the place but he is at the very top,Wasim and Waqar did the same years back.
Anderson and Broad would be world class at the moment, go back to the great bowlers in the 80's then yes...they would fall short.
But there are not the number of quality seamers around now.
