I'd be lying if I said I thought James Anderson would go on and get 300 Test wickets when I first saw him bowl - and back then I'm sure such a feat seemed a world away to him too.
You'd have to say that without the rain we would probably have had two result games. Although the Dunedin pitch wasn't very good, I didn't think the Wellington pitch was as bad as some made out, actually. There was enough bounce and pace there and it started to turn for the spinners, so all-in-all it seemed a pretty fair Test pitch. Let's hope that's the case here. Watch James Anderson discuss the prospect of reaching 300 Test wickets for England and then catch day one of the third and final Test from 9pm on Sky Sports 1 HD on Thursday.
