57.5 Degrees of Pain Aug 2020 6:37pm, 11 Aug 2020 6,124 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain I suspect that evidence and data would suggest that Jimmy Anderson is the extreme outlier of those who've started with similar figures.

Cerrertonia Aug 2020 11:27pm, 11 Aug 2020 13,078 posts	0 Cerrertonia Bess had ridiculously good figures for Somerset in the couple of games he played in 2016 and then the full season of 2017. It's only since he was picked for England in 2018 that his performance has dipped a bit - and part of that is perhaps just that he isn't getting to bowl that often.
Surrey Phil Aug 2020 11:30pm, 11 Aug 2020 4,624 posts	0 Surrey Phil Chris Broad was no saint either. Didn't he once smash the stumps with his bat after getting bowled and subsequently fined?
