Prior to the Ashes, he had taken 45 wickets in 10 tests at 19.6 under McCullum’s leadership.
Whatever you say granddad............ ;-)The Hundred is an abomination. The normal ODI stuff, and the domestic 20 and 50 over stuff, I can live with.
I still miss the 40 over competition.Whatever you say granddad............ ;-)
But there are bright screen graphics and fireworks for The Hundred!??Yep
Tests cricket is proper cricket, just like football is proper football to 5-a-side football
New Zealand (h)You have to look at who England was playing first, then he picked up an injury and not played any cricket for months
at jimmy's age injury takes longer to heal and even hard to get match fit, Jimmy was not fully fit and had strapping on his ankle, it sort of smells of sentimental reasons why was picked and the played
I don’t disagree but I also think that there is a sentimentality/loyalty at the heart of English cricket that will likely see Anderson opening the bowling against Sri Lanka at Old Trafford next summer.Jimmy Anderson is a great bowler, but every test he plays from now on is mudding the water and memories,
Even today when Woakes and Broad got it swinging Jimmy still looked all of the 41-year-old he is
England has to build for the future and the next Ashes, Jimmy can not be in the plans so why not step down on top, Even going to India in early 2023 what is the point ? give somebody their chance and let them grow into test cricket
I miss the John Player and a bit of early season Benson and Hedges. The domestic calender stopped making sense when they banned tobacco sponsorship.I still miss the 40 over competition.
Whilst I frkt after the first test that Jimmy wasn't effective and felt bringing someone else in was the right thing todo , and nothing else in the series has suggested otherwise. After listening to his interviews the last couple of days he is as disappointed as anyone , but believes he had miles in the clock yet and that he can perform much better. He is in a far better position to judge that than ourselves . And I assume that he has been given insight that there is still a future for him if he wants to continue.Jimmy Anderson is a great bowler, but every test he plays from now on is mudding the water and memories,
