'You Are England Cricket,’ Says Nasser Hussain In Emotional Farewell Message For Jimmy Anderson
Nasser Hussain: One of England cricket’s most loyal servants has retired from international cricket. In an incredible career that spanned over 21 years, Jimmy Anderson gained a reputation as the ‘king of swing.’ The King’s tenure as one of the best fast bowlers in cricket history came to an emotional end on Friday when England defeated West Indies by an innings and 114 runs in what was the 41-year-old's final game with the national side.
“Dear Jimmy, on behalf of England Cricket. 21 years is hard to sum up. You were there at our greatest and there at our lowest. So it’s time to thank you for your skill, for your spirit, for your genius, for your guts, for your resilience, for your records, for your feats, for your friendship, for leaving everything out there time and time again. And in that now and forever you are England cricket,” said former captain Nasser Hussain in an emotional video posted by England Cricket on X.
The glorious career began in 2003 when a 20-year-old Jimmy made his debut against Zimbabwe. He went on to become the first fast bowler to take 700 (704) Test wickets.
