Maybe I just hate Anderson because he's such a surely fucker

He's a decent bowler, he's just not as good as he and the majority of England think he is.

I think everyone has forgotten how to do that. No one seems interested in sitting in and batting for 2+ days anymore.

Warne and Bumble should only be shown images of the Cricket - nothing of the crowd, no flyovers, just the pitch and the field.

Warne talking about spin bowling (Cricket in general to be fair) is usually good and Bumble talks well about Umpiring but anything outside of that is just juvenile, embarrassing nonsense bullshit.

It's hard to believe that Anderson has taken more Test wickets than Ambrose - hopefully he will never overtake Walsh.

He just plays lots of test cricket, his average and strike-rate aren't even close to Ambrose.

Because of the shuffle, I guess. He favors leg side scoring though, and I feel they're starting to work him out a bit.

No batsman really likes the ball a mile outside of off. It's restrictive bowling and what needs to be done.

In cooks defence he's been sharp this series so I guess wood is a bit injured. I don't know a lot about him but bumble said he's really injury prone. Maybe cook is just worried about him breaking down.

He was off for two overs so he's been right for a bit.
