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.
