Hopefully he gets a few runouts for Lancs now!

He is less likely to play for Lancashire now as it is just prep for test games. He may play a game at Turf Moor after a farewell OT game.

It's probably the correct decision. He's 42 in July, and pace bowling is punishing on the body, and he's had his share of injuries down the years. Those injuries take longer to recover from as you get older. Also, he's unlikely to be more of a threat as the years are ticking by. He's been a fantastic servant to England down the years. 3rd in the list of all time test wicket takers, only behind Muralitharan and Warne. Both of them phenomenal spinners. Jimmy is nearly 100 wickets ahead of the second placed quickie (Broad, who's also retired now). I'm sure he'll get plenty of media work; he seems at ease behind the mic.

Needs 9 wickets at Lords to overtake Warne!

Ex-Lancashire player batting to a double century against his old team. Fear for Lancs this season.

Apparently down to Walter him leaving……….

Apparently down to Walter him leaving……….

From what I can recall, wasn’t he having issues with his father trying to coach him too, so had to move to stop that issue?

One wicket left to fall Hameed 228 no.

It's 2 years too late for me, Sort of took the shine of a great bowler watching his last 2 summers and the last ashes.
Jimmy Going out at the top in a blaze of glory instead of a little token offer and a wave sort of sums up Jimmy Anderson in a nutshell,

The best fast bowler in the world, Many records broken and a highlight reel 2nd to none.
