It more about quality than quantity with Inzy (although there is plenty of quantity too.

Also lol at Pontings ability to get run out at the critical point of the innings/match/series.

Only just got to this but it's absolutely glorious.

edit: also I reckon that this is why Ramdin wanted to bowl first, he fancied the pitch for a chase

On run outs:Going old school, Greame Wood was a monster for stupid run outs. And I also remember Watto running out Katich when he was in the 90s, and being as big of a prick about it as you would imagine.

For someone more recent, Ed Cowan was really good at running himself out from being lazy.

If we are ranking the biggest fast bowling dickheads of all time then I agree.

James Anderson is easily the worst human to ever live. His scowling miserable face actually makes me furious. He doesn't have the psychotic energy of say a steyn he just looks miserable.

Probably because unless conditions are perfect he's so average he'd struggle to make a New Zealand A team but because hes the best of the chinless inbred talent pool he has been bowled into the ground over his career.

I absolutely love that they're wasting any possible new ball swing and seam by banging it in short because the computer said Ramdin and Holder don't play the hook that well.
