It is good to see that Onions and Anderson have come good. I have said before that Onions in England can be useful as he makes the batsmen play and gets it to move just enough either way to cause problems to the batsmen and that is what he did today. He also can bowl long spells and has a good bouncer.
Anderson may have got a bit lucky with a few decisions but he bowled better today as he bowled with better control.
Anderson has improved as a bowler and I don't think he deserves the amount of criticism he still gets. He can occasionally go for runs but he can take wickets as he gets it to swing very late and no batsmen would like to face that. A good example would be the ball that he bowled to Manou which swung late to clean him up.
The one bowler I am still not convinced is Broad though some do rate him highly.
To end it it has been a fine performance from both.

Aye Aye!
Onions bowled the way I first sw him. It was on that basis that I included him in my Fantasy league as well!
It was almost flawless from him.
Anderson has been a consistent performer for two years now. He has settled into the spearhead's role well.
We now await him to step it up overseas as well...he is now a senior player.
Onions does make the batsmen play which for some reason many bowlers don't do at present.
I do think that he also has the right ingredients to become good at reverse swing.
