Thats not what you said. The reason they won the championship is because they didnt lose their best players to England.

What? Balance. Root? Etc.
We lost loads of game time for test players ...it ripped the heart out of the team and we still won the CC. I assume you did watch the games last year?
It's time for JIMMY 
Ooooooh... that was close.... sliced away past the diving Root at third slip... come on Jimmy!

Who would you rather have in your team, Jimmy Anderson at his best or Ian Botham at his?

Jimmy ain't going to hit you into the confectionery stall, and back out again

Ian Botham. I'd have Botham at about 60% of his best. Anderson is a good bowler but Botham's one of the best cricketers this country has ever produced.
Bold Seagull
strong and stable with me, or...
You got the wickets at a better average than Jimmy (28.4) and just the small added bonus of 5200 runs!
