Hey Jarrod. I've got an interesting perspective for you: take Anderson since summer 2014 - when it appears he finally overcame the slightly hushed-up ankle injury/niggle he had: 255 wickets @ 20.8 in all tests of which: 103 wickets @ 24.4 away from home. Firstly: 250ish wickets is as many wickets as constitute entire careers of some of the greats (Joel Garner, Michael Holding and some others). So this is no piffling little window of data. Secondly: what? 24.4 average away? But we all know JIMMY IS NO GOOD EXCEPT IN ENGLISH CONDITIONS/DUKE BALL! Hmmm - clearly we were a bit wrong. Let's compare that with Steyn's last 250ish wickets from 2010: 254 wickets @ 22.4 in all tests of which: 96 wickets @ 26.8 away from home. What? Dale is worse than Jimmy when you look at their last 250ish wickets - both all matches and away - by around 2 runs per wicket. How is this so? We all know that Dale is 'clearly' the better bowler and what's more he can do it away when Jimmy can't. Hmmm - maybe we need to rethink this. OK - looks like Jimmy had 2 careers: early and late. Early was ok. Late was magnificent especially given what load was placed on him. And Dale's figures slightly slipped - not much, just a bit, from his early unstoppableness to the end of his career. Injuries? I don't know much about him and that may well be the case. I think the overall numbers are clear: Dale was a better bowler over their careers. But Jimmy has just got better and better, learned to bowl away, learned to work the batsmen out and that post-2014 phase ranks with the greatest bowlers of all time. And he needs credit - a bit like Federer - for working very hard to keep fit and stave off injury to allow that to happen. This is a slightly artificial view - based mainly on the 3rd hand 'inside knowledge' of an acquaintance of mine who is a Lancashire CCC member (just rumour or is there truth in it? What do I know....) (PS I'm both Jimmy and Dale fan-boy. How can you not love these guys?)

[@shikhargovil9579]

dale's number were indeed affected by injuries. he was suffering breakdowns in middle of games, his pace started to reduce and ultimately he retired. steyn had a blockbuster start to his career but a painful ending whereas jimmy probably had a painful start of career but is gonna end it as blockbuster.

Hi Jarrod! Just came across your channel and watched a slew of your videos. I'm a big Dale Steyn fan but it tough finding anything to do with his career path and since you analyzed Jimmy so amazingly, is there any chance you'd do one for the one of the greatest to ever run up to the crease and reign terror? Awesome channel!

[@noelplum99]

A great and balanced analysis. However, a couple of years on, the average is now below 26 and the economy rate below 2.8. I'd say an important point with this analysis is "watch this space" as it is still a work in progress. Who knows, Anderson could conceivably still be lowering those stats for another three or four years, by which time his "post getting great" career in itself would be one of the biggest in test cricket. The final analysis can only be made at that point imo.

[@colinmorrison5119]

I came here to make a similar point. 2022 and start of 2023 are shaping up to be amongst the best years of his career. To be bowling with that pace (he's now comfortably quicker than Broad, who I think may retire first), accuracy and skill at 40 years old and closing in on 700 wickets is unbelievable.

[@davewilson9738]

Well balanced and informative sir. Jimmy doesn't have all the boxes ticked but he has bloody worked hard to be as good as he is.

I would be interested to know how Anderson and Steyn stack up in grouped ages, i.e 20-25Years old, 25-30YO, 30-35yo & 35+YO, anyone know? I would guess Jimmy might pip steyn as they have got older (30+ or 35+)?

[@HkFinn83]

Steyn better young, Anderson far far far better old. Anderson’s peak is post 34, Steyn was done at that. This says nothing about Steyn though, his career had a normal trajectory. Anderson is a true freak. Perhaps the only great player who is significantly better at 38 than he was at 28.

[@kwl189]

Steyn injuries took their toll on him as he aged. Jimmy is lucky he didn’t have the injuries Steyn had and in the severity suffered. It’s not really a fair comparison post 33/34. Steyn could have improved for all we know without injuries.

[@HkFinn83]

Steyns struggles against left handers were difficult to explain. I actually watched his first test live and nobody would have guessed he’d go on to become a modern great after seeing Trescothic smash him around with disdain. As soon as the right handers came in it was a different story. The swing, the seam, the pace was amazing. He was bowling 80mph at the left handers and 90mph at the right handers. It looked like when he was bowling at the left handers his whole action and run up were wrong. he did well to somewhat even it out by the end of his career. But I will say this: Steyn was a great bowler...at right handers. In an era with so many left handed openers this is a relevant point.

[@JarrodKimberYT]

They are both natural outswing bowlers, it makes sense that they would both struggle more than others. That they both worked that out and went on to be elite says a lot for both of them. But obviously Boult or McGrath with a natural ball that leaves the left handers would have a superior record.

[@HkFinn83]

@@JarrodKimberYT oh Jimmy’s amazing at left handers. Loads of outswingers are good at them. Steyn just struggled in general at them. It’s like his whole action was for a right hander then at the last minute he’d push the ball over with his wrist, as though he was bowling down the leg side to a right hander. Imagine if he’s played in the old days with fewer lefties...average 18😂

[@JarrodKimberYT]

@@HkFinn83 he is now. He hasn't had that his whole career. And he only averages two better than Steyn against them.

[@HkFinn83]

@@JarrodKimberYT overall maybe...compare old Jimmy against peak Steyn and there’s a huge difference. And especially against top order left handers. Take out the tail Enders Steyn for out and it’d be night and day. Every left hander would tell you they’d rather face Steyn any day of the week. Except perhaps a tail ender because of the style - they’d rather nick off than be hit in the head😂

I know it's related to the pitch for sure. I'm trying to understand what liquid manure is (is it manure that has been watered down? Or is it pee?). Also, what effect did the application of this liquid manure have on the pitches? Did it create uneven bounce, or just made the area stink and thus unattractive for batters? Or did it do something else? Just my curiosity I guess :)

[@ayoungperson3408]

I feel the Ashes 2010/11 tour I feel Anderson had conditions in his favour. It was a fairly moist summer and Melbourne and Perth both swung. In 2017/18 he was brilliant. Again fantastic work Jarrod

[@shikhargovil9579]

his stats do tell that his accuracy has been remarkable since 2017, he does not hoop the ball as he used to do earlier but instead he has moulded his game more like a mcgrath style bowler who bowls long spells on accurate line and lengths and uses minimal conditions in his favour.

[@HkFinn83]

Good point. Anderson’s record should have all the wickets removed whenever the ball swung at all. Or the ball had a seem on it. Or the ball was red. Just my opinion, but Dale Steyn, wow he didn’t need any of these things😂

[@siddharth2095]

I don't think it's much of a big fact but one thing about steyn was that he was a killer white ball baller too, i think it does impact your red ball game when you have to switch lengths in middle of the tour,or play t20 and ipl and hence have to invest time in developing other deliveries like a slower one,yorker and bouncer etc

[@tgazza1587]

Good vid but you failed to mention two huge aspects of this debate which is really disappointing: 1) Anderson was robbed of his PRIME years as an athlete and bowler by a poor selection strategy by the England selectors and injuries (2003-2010) 2) Steyn was part of much stronger SA teams than the England teams Anderson was/is part of. This inevitably will have affected their performances.

Why is that we exclusively look at careers numbers and never a players peaks?

Take out those first 6 years and he averages low 20s like all the other greats.

If that was the case Woakes and Finn (no disrespect) would have 300+ and 400+ test wickets each. If you were picking a dream test 11 at the minute for any conditions, the question would be who is your third seamer to go with Anderson and Cummins.

A touch dismissive of Jimmy's own role in his longevity. Even with the help from the ECB that's his remarkable skill. Steyn deserves his own video, not roped in with Anderson.

But he never played in the IPL. 😢😭

[@JarrodKimberYT]

In modern t20 he’d make quite a good early attacker with the ball

[@JarrodKimberYT]

Yeah, cause it never was cloudy for the first few years he bowled.

[@saahilgupta7175]

Another similarity between Anderson and batsman - both are scarred for life. Batman with his parents death Anderson with average away record against his world class home record

Ashwin is mostly shit outside india too, as were harbhajan and anil kumble...now you have my permission to cry.

Bruh clearly Miller is better than Anderson, he's a memelord with a nice number of wickets /s
