Btw - from The Zaltz on twitter: Anderson career phases: First 45 Tests (2003-Jan 2010): 156w average 34.8. Next 46 Tests (May 2010 to end of 2013-14 Ashes): 187w at 27.2. Last 66 Tests (since 2014 summer): 268w at 21.1. An extraordinary narrative of personal improvement.

The Cairns one is interesting - I remember the Read dismissal, but I note on that video he bowled it a bit earlier to Habib too (bonus points if you remember that Aftab Habib had indeed two tests....)

NDWDave Feb 2021 7:52am, 9 Feb 2021 13,999 posts	Quote Pin NDWDave I switched on as the 7th wicket went down. I don’t think I’ve seen a pitch the colour of this one

Nicholls595 Feb 2021 8:08am, 9 Feb 2021 23,680 posts	Quote Pin Nicholls595 Soooooo, on the drive in I get Mark Nicholas commentating on a Kohli and Ashwin rear guard. No wickets. Sort out the chaotic start to the work day, switch on the telly at 8 down and manage to miss both wickets. Never mind. Good win that.
