The Cricket Thread

Oscar? How did he start out? Was he an out and out fast bowler when starting out, who then took a leaf out of Lillee and Malcolm Marshall's book and varied his pace with disguise? If so, it helped him steer clear of serious injury, thus prolonging his career.

 

Notts now 120-7, so Hampshire are getting through Notts batters

 

I see Archer is back! I hope for his own sake he can get back to full fitness and deliver on the promise we have seen previously!

 

Notts have batters?

 

In the same way that Saints have Centre Backs

 

Sorry Ides I don’t understand your point ?

 

The question I asked is, "Was Anderson a genuine fast bowler at the beginning of his career, and then became fast medium with deadly accuracy, or was he always just fast medium which has enabled him to have a long career?

 

No , I meant the Oscar bit .

 

As Oscar posted a tribute about the soon to retire Anderson, it is possible he is a big fan and perhaps can answer my query!

 

Who is Oscar?

 

Oscar is one of our board members…

 

Oscar!

 

Gotcha, he only posts on this thread. I was confused because Ides quoted Jasper rather than his post.

 

I have a tip with Ides. He never makes any sense so just nod and pour him some tea.

 

You were confused

 

Me culpa! It was Jasper's post! Now your are a cricketing fan perhaps you are able to answer my Question about Anderson that i.asked "Oscar" alias Jasper!

 

You can go and do oñe Leading!!

 

Wait is Jasper also Oscar?

 

My recollection of Jimmy’s early career is that he was never an all-out speed merchant, just a very clever fast medium bowler who mastered the art of swing.

 

Thank you!
