Two tailender wickets is all that he has to show so far in this test but watching him bowl in the sun yesterday and on a sunny Saturday again lead to question marks as to why he can’t perform when its sunny and when it’s cold and overcast he is unplayable? He has been outperformed by an Indian medium pacer in PK and has wasted the new ball twice already. Another hot day in prospect today so let’s see what he can do. Usually when I criticise him he normally comes back with wickets so I am hoping for the same effect here.

Anderson is clearly out of sorts, even when the ball was swinging on day 3 his line and length was terrible.
His pace has been down all year and 82 mph bowling, wide and short, is not going to trouble batsmen of India's quality.

Ginger - He was but Bresnan, Finn and Tremlett played less games but in the games they played to me they impressed but i'm not saying Jimmy was bad in Aus.
Yes he likes grey skies but PK was swinging the ball in all conditions. If England are going to win today against this strong batting lineup then Jimmy needs to be in the wickets and not waste the 2nd new ball.

England have definitely missed Bresnan, for me I would put him ahead of Tremlett in the pecking order.

A bit harsh, hope.
One ok game (could be a good one after today) and you are dropping him.

I think Tremlett is one dimensional whereas Bresnan offers more variety and bowls to left handed batsmen better.
In Oz he got Mike Hussey out quite often.

2 wickets for Jimmy this morning. He is listening to me.

Why Can't Jimmy do it in the SUN?
