Jimmy’s Guard of Honour – an emotional farewell
James Anderson, speaking to Test Match Special:Â “I’m a bit overwhelmed actually. I have been all week. Walking to the ground, taking to the field. The crowd, the players. It has been amazing. It feels really special.
“To see Lord’s full and play like we did, a dominant performance. It was a placid surface and we had to run in hard to get anything out of it.”
On his reception from the crowd:Â “It was incredible. Even walking out to bat. I am gutted I didn’t get to play one more reverse-sweep. It has been overwhelming to see the reaction of people this week. I didn’t expect it. You don’t think you deserve it as a player, so it has been incredible.”
On what is next:Â “It is difficult to know. I have never retired before so it is hard to think about how you will feel. It is good that I am sticking with the group all summer. We have a group of talented young bowlers who can have a great career at this level. So this is my job for the rest of the summer.
