Greatest of all time? Settle down.
Younis, Akram, Ambrose, McGrath, Steyn, Hadlee, Lillee get the nod before loooong before Anderson.
Malcolm Marshall was the most feared bowler . Just ask Graham Gooch and Alan Border.
Greatest ever, not a chance, 😂
Anderson is one of the great fast bowlers but get a grip Ben. He is no McGrath, Akram, Waqar, Marshall and so on.
Australia play against two countries
The Ashes
Australia vs England and Wales
🇦🇺🏏🏴🏴
James Anderson is far from the best . He has had the luxury of bowling on green seamers he’s whole career
He is arguably not even the greatest England bowler to play the game, Curtly Ambrose and Wasim Akram were the greatest I have seen watching cricket since the early 90s, possibly McGrath as well for his pinpoint accuracy but he didn't have great pace to scare batsman, people from earlier generations will say Holding, Trueman, Lillee and many others and there were quite a few quicker than Anderson
Anderson isn't even in the top 10 best bowlers ever. Shouldn't even be mentioned in the Same breath as Marshall, Lillie, McGrath, Steyn, Ambrose etc Broad is honestly a better all conditions bowler.
'If australia were able to force a draw'
They did it was a draw
Not talking skill and opinion, statistically alone Mcgrath was better than Anderson. Anderson has 126 more wickets with about 1700 more overs bowled than Mcgrath. Mcgrath would need a 1 wicket every 78 balls to equal Anderson had he bowled those overs. His test strike rate was 1 wicket every 51 balls. He would have obliterated that 🤷
Greatest fast bowler the game has seen? – Ambrose, Walsh, Robert’s, Holding, Garner, B.Lee, McGrath pls that’s not even a big list
Anderson is the greatest fast bowler period. Anyone can bowl fast its not a skill but swing bowling is an art that only Anderson and stuart broad have.
I will of course give props to his wicket count and longevity, but outside of England he has never been that threatening of a bowler.
Typical England. Forgot the dozens from other countries that absolutely destroy him lol
Wow Anderson is not going anywhere soon. That's good to hear and amazing that he's gonna come to india too 😀 . Surely he has that series in his mind.
The correct answer is glenn mcgrath
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😊
James Anderson has been ineffectual in this series. Best fast bowler ever. I think the likes of Lillie, Ambrose and Marshall may disagree.
Anderson is done. Why keep picking him? He has offered absolutely nothing all series.
Glenn McGrath is right up there with the best of all time.
Jimmy Anderson definitely up there but not quite the level of Akram and some others
As an Aussie, it's great to hear Anderson is sticking around. Looking forward to seeing him getting a good thrashing in the next Ashes series in Australia.
Great bowler. Absolutely not the GOAT!
Just about anyone is better than J Anderson he is serviceable at best, no wonder Stokes couldn't win the Ashes!
Look how many wickets he has maybe not intimidating but a bowler with a lot of skills
Anderson is one of the greats of the game no doubt. But I can think of some others who are a cut above Anderson: McGrath, Ambrose, Akram, Lille, Thompson, Lee. Batsmen the world over genuinely feared these bowlers. Anderson is highly skilled but he doesn’t have the same fear factor about him.
Ask any batter, ask the best. Wasim akram was the best to ever do it
I’d personally put him behind McGrath and Steyn out of the fast bowlers I’ve seen a fair bit of…but after those 2, I think it’s fair to have Jimmy
I'm a Jimmy fan, but he really is not. He is in terms of longevity at the top of the game. But if you take longevity away from the argument he ain't top 5.
Pmsl if u say so
The absolute state of some of these comments about a man who has taken 689 wickets. He was literally the leading wicket taker in New Zealand 5 months ago!
Steyn😎 the gun>>>>>>
Anderson wouldn't be in the top 10 of all time!! He averages 35 in ashes Cricket!! Marshall,Ambrose,holding, Garner,Sir Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh, McGrath, Lee,Akram,Younis, Steyn, Donald,Bumrah, Lille I would pick over Anderson or seedy Broad!! England produce rubbish bowlers
I think, this is his very last ashes series! Batsmen are not fearing him at all. Probably he will retire after getting 700 wickets or after passing the great Shane Warne, he will call his career to the end
Poms whinging about it raining in England that has to be the mother of all whinges
Don't wannabe rude to Anderson but I'm not sure he would be even England's greatest fast bowler.
People will be calling for his retirement after the next ashes
More Bazball nonsense. So a guy that's never won a single test match in Australia is the GOAT? LOL!
The delusion in this cult is on another level🤣
He is not even the greatest fast bowler of his generation let alone the greatest ever
Dale steyn is by far better than him and broad combine
Also no batsman is scared of anderson compared to all the greats that played from 70s-2009
Anderson averages over 30 in overseas tests. He is well down the list of best test fast bowlers.
Maybe in England but not overall however his longevity must be admired fully
May be ecb is planning to select Anderson for 20 more tests to break 200 tests of sachin
