At 35, Anderson is having possibly the best year of his career, having picked up 47 test wickets at a miserly average of just over 15. "I've felt in good rhythm throughout the year, bowling as well as I ever have, body's in as good a shape as it's ever been." After a northern summer spent rattling through the West Indies and South Africa batting line-ups on home soil, it was the Australians' turn to feel the heat. Even more heartening, he said, was the fact he did it at a time when England were on the ropes. In 14 previous tests in Australia, Anderson had never had better than four-wicket hauls, three of them on the 2010-11 tour when England won 3-2.
