No we don't all talk of Anderson in the past tense, look at my posts on Anderson - or those of darksideofthemoon.
Yes he is the same bowler that won the man of the match against India, but that counts for little to the morons that are the England selectors - remember Devon Malcolm who blew the South African batsmen away, only to find himself dropped at the earliest oppertunity.I think we can thus understand anyone talking about Anderson in the past tense if selections in the past are anything to go by.
Yes he has pace, yes he like Tait and Lee can be wayward - however Anderson is not a popular player with most England supporters, unless he can take 20 wickets in a match.
Same goes for Saj Mahmood, he can go for runs, but is far more potent that either Sidebottom or Broad will ever be, shame England don't have decent bowling coaches anymore.
