Im prepared to give him 1 or 2 more test before judging
Never underestimate a champ, and Jimmy is a champ
The ball needs to swing for Anderson to have a big impact.
Dry wickets rough the ball up too quickly. Batters can read the swing better when one side of the ball changes colour.
On a green deck the balls lustre lasts longer and reading the swing a lot harder.
So in the wash up the poms have backed the batters in at Anderson's expense
If they serve up a dry one at Lord's we'll smash em.
