Cricket Thread

There is a lovely article on James Anderson on today’s BBC Cricket page. Jimmy is about to play his last test for England this week. The greatest swing bowler the world has ever seen with every nuance in his action. His body position, his wrist, his grip, his finger pressure all subtly changed to produce the delivery needed.
And, of course, his not outs. We will miss Jimmy.

Imagine how many wickets he could have taken if he’d played more regularly between 2003-8. He could have had a thousand test wickets. (Or be long since retired through injury…)
 
Love cricket, especially test cricket and love Jimmy but this ‘retirement test’ thing is an absolute joke, especially as he doesn’t want to finish yet.

If they don’t want to pick him anymore, think he should retire from test cricket and want to go in a different direction, especially with the Ashes in mind, that’s entirely their prerogative and fair play to them, but this is professional sport not some Sunday afternoon benevolent society.

Not only that, what happens if he takes 5-50 and 4-25, does he suddenly get picked for the second test or does he stay retired?
