I suspect the reality is that Anderson is still not properly fit. But why confirm that to the Australians before we have to? Keep them wondering. Leaving him out of the Derby game maintains the uncertainty and leaves open the possibility of him coming back in his own back yard.
He can't be far off it Mr President. It's a shame for him as this could have been his last series. Can't see him being fit enough or young enough for the Aussies series. Maybe he will try one more home series next year and call it a day. His best mate in cricket Chef having retied last year.
Critchley, for those who don't know (which is probably everyone outside the Critchley family) is an all-rounder who bowls leg-spin and has a career bowling average just over 51.
Feel sorry for our record wicket taker but pleased they know now because the flack Jimmy and the medical team would have received if we had a repeat of the first test.

Whats the bets he's bowled him a leg-spinning bouncer , and he's top-edged it then via his helmet.?

Anderson out ? .. his injury has resolved a desperate issue .. moot now, but IF he'd been fit and available, that would have put the selectors in a bind .. as I have stated here before, he should not have been picked even if 'fully' (but not of course match) fit. I suspect that this is the end of a wonderful career, the last over from a great pace bowler. A nice chair in the media awaits Jimmy A ((:>)
Must be a possibility. When you take into consideration his trade, his age and his service.
I know Jimmy is quite driven by stats and i wonder if that 25 more wickets he needs to get to 600 might see him go to SA and then to next year at home and then call it a day. If selected of course

I hope so. Deserves 600 and a send off rather than disappear through injury
Actually, Hildreth is a perfect example of someone who's got a really good average, but is seen as scoring soft runs and not having 'it' by the selectors...

Or just lacking the technique or mental strength to play test cricket.
Look at ramprakash, sometimes averaged 100 in a season, but an average of 27 at test level.
Hildreth is well over the hill, as has been posted, he’s averaging in the 20’s this season, why are you so keen on him?

As i keep saying, like a lot of people, i cant get Twitter at work.
But looked it up.
Oh well, thats answered that then.
Would be one less problem for the selectors though leaving Archer and Broad to open the bowling.

Anyway let's focus on the main issue right now, which is that the big lad Rahkeem Cornwall is taking Test wickets
Everything about him shouts "village" (size, run-up, action) but he's getting a lot of turn out of this pitch.
Wow, i see what you mean ! He is huge.
Reminds me of that bloke who played for Bermuda many years ago.Dwayne Leverock.
