Anderson to end Test career this summer
- Thread starter wpdavid
- Start date
Yeah I can't really be rational about this one.

He won't have an excellent summer. That would be impossible with max 2 warm up games for Lancashire, maybe fewer, and then just a single Test. His summer will be over before the remaining five other tests. Even 8 wickets against the Windies doesn't mean an excellent summer.
Lancashire have not said anything yet. Every team selection includes a list of IPL absentees, an update on Mahmood's fitness etc. but the announcements have never mentioned Anderson and there is no statement yet today. Will he ever play for them again?
Much better to get it over with agree a farewell at Lords in the first WI test, rather than at Old Trafford for the first SL test.

He's a legend, and such a certain name and face for decades will be missed.
Deserves a knighthood more than that posh **** Alistair Cook.

This is more of a general statement, nothing to do with the thread

Should have retired last year with Broady,
Hope not. Listened to him on a podcast a couple of times. Him in a commentary box would be painful.

Wow. Nice work Bazza.
There is a lot of pressure to get the 8 to tie/9 to beat.

Anderson has himself said it'd be a stretch to make the Ashes in 18 months time but quite frankly he's the only one of our seamers who is pretty consistently fit.
Robinson will be out injured reaching for a second course, Wood will get injured buckling himself into the plane and Archer will get run over by a suitcase.

Agree. Still misses out to Watling in our AT side though.

What the incredibly popular Tailenders podcast, he's done commentary he is good at it, not as good as Broad, but he's pretty personable.
Again though as I'm posting in this thread I want to again say this is an appalling decision and makes me wish Bazza would **** off.
I mean clearly him and Stokes get on well and like ****ing playing golf, but stokes says again and again he wants the likes of Foakes, Leach and Anderson in his side because they're the best at what they do, yet (admittedly Leach probably injured) we'll have none of them for people that are just all-round mediocre.
Yeah I'm over-reacting but I don't ****ing care we have not got one better seam bowler than Jimmeh to line up, let alone three or four.
