James ‚'Jimmy' Anderson

[Fauxstralian]

Has announced the first Test of the summer against the West Indies at Lords starting July 10 will be his last On 700 wickets so will need 9 in the match to go past SK Warne

[Swiss.]

He took 5 wickets in a match 24 times at home compared to 8 away. In 82 tests that’s 1 every 10 tests away.

Cricinfo classes UAE as a 'Neutral' venue ... its away for England players really .... and shows his Test record as Home 105 Tests 434 wickets @ 24.50 Away 76 Tests 244 wickets @ 30.66 Neutral 6 Tests 22 wickets @ 20.54 I see Josh Tongue is out for an extended period with a PECTORAL issue so one of the mooted replacements will miss his initial opportunity to fill Andersons boots

[Swiss.]

Excellent bowler at home. Pretty average away.

"Seems the real reason for the hurried retirement of the Burnley Ballcock is coming out BBC The man once dubbed the country's ""kindest plumber” has had his British Citizen Award rescinded following a BBC investigation. James Anderson, from Burnley, was given the accolade in 2023 for his work providing boilers and plumbing services for free. The BBC revealed on Thursday that Mr Anderson's firm, Depher, a social enterprise, faked stories of helping people as it raised millions in donations."

Recall Murali was on about 790 when he announced the next Test was his last and put pressure on himself to make 800. Which he did

Having got to 700 I presumed going past Warne was the only reason he was continuing given his form in India & the last Ashes. McCullum has quite rightly tapped him on the shoulder looking forward to give him the opportunity to have a well deserved Lords farewell rather than have to leave him out Englands greatest ever bowler
