Thought this would be a good distraction from watching the dark grey paint dry at the club

Disappointed my mistimed pull shot to mid wicket in the early 2000’s isn’t featured!

Surely not mistimed and more like a worldy catch at mid wicket!

A wicket I never tire of watching is one he got in Australia where Mitchell Johnson was at the non-striker's end and chirping at Jimmy that he wasn't getting it all his own way. Jimmy bowled the next delivery and took the wicket of ???. Jimmy just looked Johnson in the eye, shrugged his shoulders and walked away. Priceless.

Every single day that passes without there being a fitting tribute (life size action statue) to James Anderson somewhere in the borough is a stain and a shame on the council.

Not just one of Burnley’s greatest sprortsmen, one of the worlds greatest sportsmen.

I read something they were trying to change the road from the Queen Vic Junction to the school after Jimmy.

I think the council found it was to costly and way too much hassle to change road names with houses and businesses on.

Don't tell me it was him that caught it?

You were unlucky if so.

At his age, he's doing well to remember his LAST six wickets.
