Re: JIMMY ANDERSON
Perhaps the toughest job in cricket. A wicket taking fast bowler. Tougher than scoring penalties against minnows.

Re: England v India 5th Test
Let’s tidy this up a bit, as some appear to be getting a bit confused.
The problem begins when joey starts being terribly amusing in post 23 by mentioning the Emirates... this is an oblique reference to Jimmy Anderson being an Arsenal supporter..
( yeah course he is..)
The nonsense continues from there.
Jimmy Anderson at some point will get some wonderful recognition from the town of Burnley
... as he should.
Not yet though, he is still playing Test cricket and he will be a top flight player for a while yet..
Glenn McGrath reckons he is in good enough shape to keep going for a while yet.
Gotta get the timing right, and some thought needs to go into this future ‘project’.

On the roundabout at the top or bottom ( probably top ) would be a perfect location. The main road into the town, and near the motorway/railway links.
It would go ideally with the James Anderson Way also.
Shame the none cricket lovers can't appreciate just how good he is, and the all time master in his field across the globe.
The man is immense.

Re: England v India 5th Test
Excellent day today, it was only £20 entry too (£5 for kids) - choice of seats.
I dont think we bowled particularly well and Root seemed to make some odd choices- Jimmy & Broad not bowling beyond the first 5 or so overs each today until almost 70 overs had gone and India had a very established pair.
As per Quickenthetempo's comment- no idea why Root persisted with Stokes bowling short pitchers at established batsmen at that stage on that wicket; it almost seemed like he tried to "make a game of it".
Still- all's well that ends well (and it was a grand ending for Jimmy supporters at that).

Broad has a broken rib by all accounts. Got hit while batting and made worse in the changing room.

Re: England v India 5th Test
Ahh. I saw Broad went off for some treatment for a while but just assumed sore foot or something. I can, though, recall him being hit high up on the side when batting and shrugging it off at the time, I guess that caught up with him eventually.

Outstanding really. Must take some preparation to be a fast bowler for that amount of tests and keep up the high standards.
Hopefully a few more years to go as well.

Well done Jimmy lad, great achievement and hopefully many more wickets to follow. Top bloke was very emotional after the match when talking about his mate Alastair Cook. Great achievement by the Burnley Lara UTC
Re: JIMMY ANDERSON
How this man hasn't got recognition from this town is beyond belief.
The greatest ever sportsman to come from the area, he deserves a statue at the very least IMO.
Shame the none cricket lovers can't appreciate just how good he is.
The all time master of your field across the globe, there's not many people in the world can say that, and to think he was born on the Edith Watson ward.
Well done Jimmy, the town, the county, in fact the country is very proud of you!

Re: JIMMY ANDERSON
A fantastic achievement Jimmy.to be at the top of your game for so many years and recognised as a master of your art by colleagues and opponents alike.
Every time Jimmy plays Burnley always gets a mention and like our football club puts our little old town on the map.
Makes me proud to live in the same town that Jimmy was brought up in and played cricket for. He is still a Burnley lad despite all his successes

Some funny old comments on here. Perhaps I'm an old f**t who has been gone from lancashire for too long, but to say that no one cared about lancashire league, never mind county cricket when I was a kid would have been bizarre. Down here in Zomerset, cricket is far from a minority sport. And then there is India, Australia etc - come out with those views in a pub in Perth and you'd get a response.
It's not just the stats, when Alistair Cook says that Jimmy is the best cricket ever to be produced by this country you have to sit up and be very, very proud. He is a reason why lots of people have some idea of where Burnley is. I'll be cheering him to his 600th test wicket

Re: England v India 5th Test
It was interesting to hear the West Indian great Michael Holding eulogise about Jimmy.
He was equally impressed with the amount of Tests Anderson has played, he inferred that those with little interest in the game almost expect it normal that a bowler can keep delivering line and length and moving it both ways. The dedication and relentless practice to be able to execute his skills over such a long period is what sets this landmark achievement apart.
It was entirely appropriate that Cook and Anderson celebrated their milestones together. Those two are both ultimate professionals with tremendous discipline, perfect role models for aspiring sportsmen and women.
I get that cricket is not for everyone but anyone with a passing interest in sport should surely relate to jimmy’s achievement and be proud as punch of his Burnley roots; for sure there should be a busst for Jimmy. Would be great on the corner of belvedere road / harry potts way, outside his old cricket club where visiting sports folk can pay their respects on foot rather than a drive-by.

Re: JIMMY ANDERSON
Yes he's one of our own but Jimmy is held in great affection by cricket fans all over the country, especially at the Test Match playing venues.ashtonlongsider wrote:Tremendous achievement by Jimmy and all the more special because 'He's one of our own'.
This was all too evident yesterday down the Kia Oval, they love him at Lords [no surprise that, with all the wickets he has taken there] Old Trafford, and Edgbaston, and the rest.
What a role model he is for younger cricketer's as well - almost perfect in that regard...family man, keeps out of trouble.
** I know this forum is about opinions but I despair when I read some of the stuff on here..especially with the magnitude of Jimmy's achievement yesterday..posts 13 and 14 for example....joyless uninformed nonsense. Wile really...what are you on about?
The link lists all those bowlers who have taken 300 Test wickets or more...there are just 33 of them ever.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_b ... st_cricket" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The top 3 are world class spin bowlers, then Jimmy is the top of the fast bowler list..he is ahead of all these guys -
McGrath
Courtney Walsh
Kapil Dev
Richard Hadlee
Dale Steyn
Shaun Pollock
Wasim Akram
Curtley Ambrose
Ian Botham
Malcolm Marshall
Waqar Younis
Imran Khan
Denis Lillee
Allan Donald
Bob Willis
Mitchell Thomas
Brett Lee
Nathan Lyon..and plenty more.
An unbelievable achievement for a lad starting off at St Teds and Burnley Cricket Club.
Well done Jimmy.

Re: England v India 5th Test
Spot on comments Hampstead.
I know a lot of people with no connection to Burnley who are into cricket and they all have great affection for Jimmy and how he has performed for England over the years.
He's shown great application (as well as talent/athleticism obviously) and had a huge input into England's cause over the years (unfortunately meaning Lancs miss his services). He's a "nice family man" off the pitch too- though obviously a bit grumpy/aggressive on it (as needs be for what he does out there).
