Honestly, I don't think anyone cares about WTC points. Maybe when it comes down to the last series but there's no guarantee they will even get to that.Not sure if it has been mentioned before but there needs to be a system like the DLS for games that end in a draw due to significant bad weather. It is not impossible for Pakistan to have come back in the previous game and won but given how unlikely it was, England have every right to feel robbed of potential WTC points (can't blame them for their cursed weather now can we ).
Something like the bonus points system for more runs/the lead in first-class leagues could work assuming that they get applied only when there is a pre-determined amount of significant delay (percentage of overall overs lost could probably work). Weather affected draws in the past did not matter given the nature of bilateral series but when you have a league, it makes sense to have some standard so that the dominant team does not miss out despite being denied a victory only by weather.

Jimmy Anderson, more like Jimmy Cloud-erson .There’s no better pacer in home conditions, than Jimmy
Yup. The change in the trousers gives a more casual feel. It looks like someone was just on his way to a cricket match and was gonna support EnglandLoved England's WC kit and it had the same color for both the trousers and the shirt, ever since they changed to a darker shade for the trousers I just haven't been into it. I guess that's just personal taste.

In all seriousness although he's been mostly effective in home conditions compared to abroad, you have to admire his commitment to the game and his fitness. In a game where many fast bowlers retire around 33-34, and the fact he's played nearly 160 Tests is remarkable. His fitness and dedication is probably what sets him apart from other pacers in the modern Test arena.
Phenomenal kit, this! AJ Sports have made some wonderful kits for Pakistan. Just a few of the kits that they made: 1999 World Cup, 2004/2005 ODI kit, 2019 World Cup, current Test kit, and now this.
Stole this from Twitter:Lovely! Has a touch of the 1999 WC kit. Just wish the trousers were the same lighter shade of green like the shirt. Personally not a fan of this contrast. Loved England's WC kit and it had the same color for both the trousers and the shirt, ever since they changed to a darker shade for the trousers I just haven't been into it. I guess that's just personal taste.
But the 439 wickets took a lot lesser matches than Anderson's 600. Not saying that Anderson was bad or anywhere close to being bad, infact he was a GOAT. But also on the other hand Steyn 's career was cut down due to injuries and those were actually mismanaged. So had it been managed in a better way Steyn was still very much in contention and probably be the greatest fast bowler of this generation and would be rated second to none. This isn't to say Anderson is bad. He is the best in his own way and is more lethal than Steyn when the ball is moving around. My personal opinion I would rate Steyn as the greatest fast bowler of this generation and Anderson and Broad would come close to him or even might be par with him. Anyways that's just my personal opinion.Someone like Steyn with whom he is often unfairly compared as evidence of a pacer with impact has 'only' 439 wickets in his entire career!
