That is very true. He is 41 though so we have to aim towards next year's ashes which he wouldn't have had any effect in.

Been saying that for four or five years.

I'd have given up on Archer before giving up on Anderson. Personally. Would have let Jimmy go as long as he wanted if he stayed at the level he's been at.

Anderson bowing out at the home of cricket

Hi everyone. Just a note to say that the first Test of the summer at Lord’s will be my last Test.

It’s been an incredible 20 years representing my country, playing the game I’ve loved since I was a kid. I’m going to miss walking out for England so much. But I know the time is right to step aside and let others realise their dreams just like I got to, because there is no greater feeling.

I couldn’t have done it without the love and support of Daniella, Lola, Ruby and my parents. A huge thank you to them. Also, thank you to the players and coaches who have made this the best job in the world.

I’m excited for the new challenges that lie ahead, as well as filling my days with even more golf.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years, it’s always meant a lot, even if my face often doesn’t show it.

See you at the Test,

Go well

Mixed feelings on this. An absolute legend of the game and England's greatest ever bowler, but his recent form has suggested his powers are on the wain. It's always better to bow out on your own terms, rather get tapped on the shoulder, but I applaud them for giving him one last game...even more so because I'm going to the 1st day of the Lords test...

Just wasn’t to be for Durham, never mind.

Back on home turf next up against Somerset, starting Friday.
