Just realized that Anderson has taken wickets of the best batsman from 5 different decades .
60's - Brian Lara
70's - Sachin Tendulkar
80's - Steven Smith
90's - Kane Williamson
00's - Yashasvi Jaiswal
I can't help thinking that there must be some age 40+ bloke who was born in the 50's that Jimmy dismissed at the start of his career, even if it was at domestic level circa 2002 or 2003.

Didn't get him out but he played against Derek Randall.
How on earth did that happen? cricinfo lists Randall's FC matches as spanning from 1972 to 1993, and his List A matches from 1971 to 2000. Unless a very young Anderson played against him in 2000.

EDIT
Got it now. Randall was playing for Suffolk and 17 year old Anderson was playing for the Lancashire Cricket Board.

Hopefully india win and so the ridiculous mukesh kumar pick won’t hurt. I’d rather they just play an extra batsman. It’s the batting that is weaker comparatively to the bowling anyway and with three spinners who can bowl for long periods, you don’t need two seamers. Don’t get me wrong, if there was a genuine choice,
I like the idea of two pacers but not if it’s a waste like this.

Yeah Bumrah is a freak alright, that arm as he delivers looks really weird, is he double jointed
or what?

Anyway when i first checked the score, India 396, England 100-1, but by tea they were totally
screwed. Really dont matter what total india get, if Bumrah does that again, game over. main
problem is that england have to bat first to have any chance it seems.

Yeah we need to find a way to cope with him better in next 3 tests or series will be gone quickly

Struggled in Srilanka and wasn't good in Pakistan until the final test.
Meh, I thought he was fine in the first two Tests in Pakistan, just had the misfortune on playing on complete roads. Then he won the final Test.

Agree he was a bit anonymous in Sri Lanka though.

Whether Bumrah is better I'm not sure. He might be, but equally Cummins has had the better career thus far.

Yeah they showed this alongside Archer in 2019 iirc. Archer releases it pretty far out too which the comms were saying meant his bouncer is even harder to pick.
Sure is a bent arm

Thanks Murali for ruining this sport forever you cheat

It did. Low profile in India, though he can't be blamed for that, and then struggled in last half of the Ashes.
Low profile in the series he left because his mum was dying? Struggled for a number of tests after coming back after that?

Gee, who would've thought that might happen?

First bit is fair but how turd he was from Stokes at Lord’s onwards in The Ashes is too easily glossed over. He stand the place out and Zak Crawley made him his BITCH
