Good players don't run down the pitch, as bad as Anderson was - Broad was no better.
OK so Broad was a debutant, Anderson has played 20 tests over a long period of time, hardly ever given a chance to bowl himself into any sort of form.
As for Vaughan he did not inspire his team, it looks as if he should think of making way like Fletcher did , or at least consider is he really hungry enough for cricket to be leading the England side.
All the players are flattered by these ratings.
Harmison - 7
Hoggard - 7
Collingwood 7
Cook - 7
Vaughan - 6
Bell - 6
Panesar - 5
Pietersen - 5
And the rest between one and two, the side is a disgrace, as are the selectors - and Moores should resign with immediate effect.
The poor marks for the batting is because the collapsed when it mattered when there was still a chance to square the series.
