Chance for a few more later this summer if he wants to continue.

Re: Sir Jimmy Anderson
There really isn't enough superlatives to describe Jimmy.
Just 9 more wickets required to overtake the late great Shane Warne into the 2nd most Test match wickets of all time...

Re: Sir Jimmy Anderson
He seems to have indicated he wants to continue.
I suspect he’d want to try and finish in England in any case but who knows.

Re: Sir Jimmy Anderson
He will play this Summer and he will want to play one more (wining) Ashes series. Just look at the guy - he is in superb condition.

Re: Sir Jimmy Anderson
12 more needed to reach 1000 international wickets I think
Maybe a century in the Ashes too

Congratulations to Jimmy. Incredible achievement.
Re: Sir Jimmy Anderson
If the council doesn't put a statue up to honour him they are not fit to represent Burnley.

I think he's made it clear he's a Claret, he's been asked in enough interviews about it!

Re: Sir Jimmy Anderson
Season ticket holder for years at the Turf and even worked in the ticket office at one time, selling me my season ticket one year.
We all know he's a Claret but this has nothing to do with Burnley FC. This is about the greatest sportsman this town has ever produced.
Magnificent achievement - now let's hope he can get those extra few wickets to pass the brilliant Shane Warne's final total.
Brilliant Jimmy - just brilliant.

Re: Sir Jimmy Anderson
Been saying this for years now… every day that goes by without this happening is a blight upon our town council. The guys truly world class…. If he was from Yorkshire, there’d be a street in every town in the county claiming him as their own.

Re: Sir Jimmy Anderson
Absolutely amazing achievement by a Fabulous Cricketer and Top Guy.
Was said on the BBC when he got the 700 th wicket “ Nice to see Stuart Broad’s mum sat next to Jimmy’s Dad”

Re: Sir Jimmy Anderson
Why do we get people on here trying to have cheap digs about any Burnley individual who has made a massive lifetime success in their sport. I would guess they are probably not from the area or have a some kind of serious jealousy issue about any local who achieves such worldwide recognition.

Re: Sir Jimmy Anderson
They won’t be erecting a statue for Jimmy, although he certainly deserves one. It’s not the done thing anymore to acclaim a white Englishman who has achieved so much.
Top bloke though. I was really proud when he took that wicket earlier this morning. Well done Jimmy…… Burnley Legend.

‘White Englishman…’ what a sad, pathetic comment.
Well done Jimmy. Whether it’s a statue or something else, he needs to be properly recognised in the town.

I don’t know what England’s schedule is but If Jimmy is in Lancashire for our next home match it would be nice if the club made him guest of honour in recognition of this achievement.

He needs to be recognized nationally not just in Burnley. Maybe he’ll receive a knighthood in Sunak’s resignation honours list.

Re: Sir Jimmy Anderson
I think Jimmy still wants his name on the international five fers board in the long room at EOT. Remarkably at his own county ground where he has an end named after him the international five fer has alluded him.
Sri Lanka this summer just might be his last chance.

Re: Sir Jimmy Anderson
When you consider the degree of impact fast bowling has, physically on the body, compared to spin bowling, and the much shorter spells that pace attacks often have, to be even talking in the same sentence as Shane Warne, it highlights just what a phenomenal achievement this is.
