Quoted from Humbercod
Anderson is legendary status in the world of cricket get your kids, grandkids watching him and appreciate him whilst he’s still around.


I was at the game today and was a little bit disappointed we skittled out India so easily, because I wanted to see him bowl again!

Anderson is 39. Surely his legs have gone by now.

One would be forgiven for thinking the England scorecard had been hacked...you expect a long list of low numbers and Root - big number.

The decision to bat looks daft with hindsight, but actually Headingley is the one English test venue when the golden rule (from Geoff Boycott I think it was) doesn't apply - if you win the toss, think about it and then bat, when you are facing J. Anderson on a moist morning.

Look up not down at Headingley!
It’s been really refreshing to watch orthodox (barring Burns) batting with side on and still technique. Saying that I’ve just jinxed Malan. A tickle and strangled down the leg side. Good knock though.

The master on his home turf...on drive to the Football Stand end to take him to his hundred - exactly the same spot as G Boycott off Greg Chappell for his hundredth hundred...

The over in which he worked over Virat a la Freddie against Ponting all those years ago was something to behold. Bowling of the highest class and deserved a wicket.

Robinson looks every bit the international bowler and Overton has improved significantly since his first stint.

I’m looking forward to seeing Mahmood as I think he cud be a bit special. What a lovely position to be in.

With the bowling yes, shame Archer and Stokes are out though. I fear the Convicts will shred our batting and Root may not get us out of trouble if exposed to the new ball too much down under.
