People who look down at him saying that he got 700+ wickets in 188 tests compared to Murali, Warne & Kumble who did it in fewer tests. But don't forget that spinners bowl a lot more balls than pacers worldwide either a holding role or especially in sub continent. So if we compare the balls bowled by all these legends then we see the greatness of Jimmy... So the balls bowled were (44039 balls 800 wickets Murali) (40850 balls 619 wickets Kumble) (40705 balls 708 wickets Warne) (40037 balls 704 wickets Anderson)

[@Deano_Longley]

Wow that's an amazing stat for Jimmy,you wouldn't have thought those numbers were correct imo.

[@blackislepeastoo]

tbh it doesn't really matter what the moaners think, Jimmy was UNIQUE and delivered so much above and beyond for more years than the whingers will still be children in their heads.

[@Dannyefcfan1]

Fast bowlers always have a better stirke rate than spinners

[@parkjohns9696]

Faster strike rate with the new ball, no way? These half baked stats to mark up a solid bowler

[@lomar0058]

Who is comparing him to other spinners though, the comparison is to do with his skill compared with the likes of Marshall, McGrath, Steyn and Akram

[@sonamjuneja6686]

"It is a profound pleasure to witness two gentlemen engaging in a heartfelt and poignant conversation about a third individual. Such moments reveal the depth of respect and admiration they hold for the person being discussed, adding a layer of sincerity and warmth to the dialogue."

[@Vikram369A]

The amazing thing is Jimmy ,never lost his passion for test matches and bowling ,even at age of 41. This is unheard of. Amazing swing bowler ,who left an impression on world cricket

[@markarnold8160]

He left many impressions on a good length. Give him a knighthood!

[@NishantSharma-vf2wd]

Gus Atkinson seems to be a very very nice guy.He just does not show any emotion and even when he gets a wicket, he just smiles a bit and nothing else.

[@EliKav]

Better punditry from you two, regarding the football, than i have heard from BBC and ITV pundits all summer

[@teem4800]

This is what I was thinking 😂😂😂

[@AllenRoaNe]

Guys, I still strongly believe that James Anderson should have been allowed to play the full series against West Indies. With 704 wickets, if he had played the series, he could have beaten the all-time greatest number of 708. It would have cemented his status as the greatest bowler ever... What a shame!

[@lomar0058]

Mura.......

[@salimramji1740]

708 wickets is the 2nd most and held by Shane Warne. Muralidaran holds the record at 800 wickets.

[@AllenRoaNe]

-Thank you for the reminder and briefing, which @vibecitypriyanshu has highlighted excellently below. Still, it's my belief that Jimmy should have been given the opportunity to climb above the great Sharne Warne!

[@lingolarker9318]

I think Anderson should have played until the end of the summer and bowed out at The Oval (still iconic although admittedly not on a par with the home of cricket). I don’t really see how England have gained doing it this way. He would have gone past Warne but remember that’s only in terms of tally. No current bowler (spinner or otherwise) is as great as Warne. He was never going to realistically reach 800 so finishing 2nd or 3rd makes no real difference. It’s still a medal 🥉 at least😄

[@SWJ_]

The real like-for-like Anderson replacement is Sam Cook. He deserves a chance with the new ball in this set-up, accompanied by Atkinson, Wood, Olly Stone (if fit), Potts and Tongue on rotation.

[@rickphillips5098]

Jimmny is classed as a swing bowler .. his best ball was at 91mph .. thats a fast bowling!! Jimmy is not just a swing bowler ! He has been the master off line and length and going for no runs when the ball is doing nothing! Jimmy needs respect for when he tied down a end , going for no runs and letting the likes off Broad and stokes take wickets due to Jimmy making his end a maiden the over before! Jimmy has been incredible! Any one remember when they wanted to change his action.. as he looked down when he released the ball ..

[@sihi5634]

The ICC need to be held accountable for the approach to the way the money is split, it will kill cricket as a competitive sport, funding should be equal otherwise it will continue to get more and more uneven and there will only be three decent sides in all formats.

[@MyAcct111]

Anderson was lucky to start his career when the shorter formats of the game weren’t that frequently played. As a result he could reach his numbers. For folks who started in the recent years play multiple formats so can’t really concentrate on tests only.

[@Dineshneet]

Jimmy 🐐

[@javishkumar6028]

Two of the best people one could listen to 😊

[@201288balaji]

Mike Atherton's insights on connections resonate deeply with me. I was 13 when James Anderson debuted, and as a fellow fast bowler, I initially found him a bit expensive. However, he transformed during the 2010-11 Ashes, by which time I had already abandoned dreams of playing cricket at the highest level in India. Now, at 35, I still play for a local league team, incorporating skills I learned from watching Anderson. I’ve always admired him, perhaps more than any other fast bowler. I watched every ball of his farewell Test against the West Indies, sharing the experience of following Anderson and his ever improving career with my 6-year-old son, likely his first memory of learning about a cricketer.

[@andrewharris1837]

Jimmy up there with McGrath,Hadley & Pollock for sure.

[@abhimukh1937]

Amazing work as usual, listening to some of the best minds in cricket.

[@richardhill5792]

Atkinson needs to find that extra 2-3mph.

[@davidmcmanus2464]

They need to be discussing the potential death of test cricket. Series like the ones against the WI and SL are just not competitive and will lose the public in their droves.

[@pranavmoundekar663]

Undoubtedly james anderson is best england bowler across generations

[@yingyang1008]

Even when he's not taking wickets, he offers a lot of control and economy while not destroying his energy levels Mark Wood style Useful guy to have around

[@mattyu1818]

Treated dreadfully. Should have been given the series and allowed to go out at OT. I was at Lords and the quietness is no way for him to go out. I hate to see a legend of the game being forced to retire. He should have been given a second option of no retirement test but being able to make himself available for selection and if he's in the best XI he's picked. What's most galling is how the media establishment are giving Key and Stokes an easy ride and pretending everything is OK.

[@nikkip3385]

Totally agree. Should be playing the whole series.

[@HACKER-vw3ev]

ath,s and nas have not asked the burning question of baz and stokes,why ? when he is still the best now.!!

[@pranavmoundekar663]

I thought Anderson would definitely play till 50 years😅

[@pranavmoundekar663]

Only player that could break srt record is sir joseph root

[@simplemaths7611]

SPAIN IN FOOTBALL ARE LIKE INDIA IN CRICKET, TECHNICALLY GIFTED

[@ce11amitkumaryadav83]

It seems Eng winning tournament matches with india winning tournaments ( excluding this T20 world cup)

[@manastandon1056]

Sshhhhh No one will talk about the pitch when the mat h finishes in 2½ days In England

[@richardgomes4332]

If Roach was fit to play the not too bright WI selectors would have left out Seales.

[@PeteMadden-rn4ps]

I don't think it was down to not being bright think it would've been down to getting some more experience in a very inexperienced side imo

[@raghurao1980]

With all due respect and very matured analysis form you both, both were expected 💯

[@markarnold8160]

Ah yes - curry in Maid Marian Way - sigh!

[@Sid-e5y]

Goat anderson

[@royhammond2232]

Fantastic career and no doubt marvellously skilled, would I get out of bed to watch? No I’m afraid not. He was no Malcolm Marshall

[@RK19091]

The story of England Football is similar to England White Ball Cricket these days - Absolutely brilliant on paper but somehow fail at the big stage.

[@PeteMadden-rn4ps]

Yea that makes alot of sense if you have no idea what your talking about

[@suchith9327]

I cant understand 2 senior cricketers ( not legends ) discussing 34 minutes on the pathetic test match which concludee on lords . 😊. They want moral victory then its ok

[@Baker68]

That makes no sense

[@MHCSSUDARSHANKH]

Eng are good side but they lost to india 4-1 @nasser...youre joking...they cant compete Against india and australia N thats the pinnacle..win over windies n they r good side..its a bad side

[@taifrahman6237]

It's time for them to retire😅

[@456dfsify]

foakes and bairstow should retire gracefully, careers are done. Malan from t20s cricket is another player who should retire .

[@ce11amitkumaryadav83]

Bairstow Jordan malan moenn should retire from t20i Bairstow should retire from all format IMO Open with malam and salt in odi ,

[@akshat2610]

First commenter!

[@user-ps1eq3vi4w]

So, Ben foakes is gone ?

[@ce11amitkumaryadav83]

Yuppp , they need bazballers 😂😂😂😂
