- England’s record wicket-taker bowing out at Lord’s
- ‘I feel I’m bowling as well as ever’
Days before the final curtain comes down on one of the great Test careers, Jimmy Anderson has insisted he is “bowling as well as I ever have” and “could still do a job”. He described being bounced into international retirement as “something I’ve just got to deal with and accept”.
The 41-year-old – he turns 42 on 30 July – will make his 188th and final Test appearance against West Indies at Lord’s on Wednesday, after being nudged towards the exit by England’s management. “I still feel as fit as I ever have, like I’m bowling as well as I ever have. I still think I could do a job,” he said.
