Many, including me were expecting Jimmy to announce his retirement shortly after Stuart Broad did but that didn’t happen. He’s 42 and although he can still bowl at 80+ England need to develop quicker bowlers. I was listening to Rob Keys recently and he said how much 5mph on a delivery makes to the best batsmen in the world. Guys that can bowl at 90mph are rare. He mentioned Starc as one that can bowl at that pace. England have Wood and Archer both who can bowl at 90+ but both are injury prone unfortunately. Key’s mentioned one young county bowler who’s name I can’t remember as a potential candidate. No doubt at all that Anderson will get a guard of honour as he takes the pitch at Lords for his last test. He is after all the pace bowler that’s taken more test wickets than anyone else and Englands greatest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markthehorn Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 I was only joking but we might be asking Jimmy to stay on ! https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/england-jamie-overton-out-test-summer-back-stress-fracture-1434589 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Decent win in the end - is there a better death bowler than Chris Jordan? Nice to see Jofra back too, took him an over or so to settle but after that he looked good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTonyTony Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 That was a very solid performance last night. England look impressive, and great to see Archer back. Him and Wood are lethal I reckon we have a very strong chance, particularly as Jos seems to have got his mojo back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 It will be interesting to see what attendances they get in the USA. I can't imagine Netherlands v Nepal is going to attract many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
