Anderson finished?

Has he taken a wicket with the new ball in this series? Looks like a series too far although he did earn his place on merit going into the series.

I don't believe so.

Still struggling to understand why people think he is a great. In an era of poor test cricket, his longevity his incredible, his skills immense but only on certain wickets but overall goes missing too often ala SA and Australia away. Warne may have struggled in India but he did not struggle in the sub continent so Warne was more a country issue not a certain type of wicket. Ala this series, flat wickets and Jimmy looks a run of the mill county bowler. To be considered a great you need to be able to contribute on all types of wickets ala Mark Wood, flat wicket he still takes wickets, wicket doing a bit ala Headingley, still takes wickets

Is there a reason you keep repeating yourself?

You have said your bit 1000 times just let it lie ffs. I love Woody who has 100 test wickets at 30 so he has a long way to go to be talked about in the same circles as Jimmy. I hope he retires as much so I don’t have to read your inane drivel time and time again.

You talk some shite mush 😂😂😂
 
Goes on the India tour, 2 maybe 3 tests.
Gets a farewell series to 700 wickets then probably retires by 'choice' (rather than be publicly dropped) before the 2nd home series.
Or Jimmy reads this thread and comes back to average 20 again all summer and carrys on.
