James Anderson Future Predictions According to Me

James Anderson is one of the greatest bowler of all time for England. Not only for England who is the best bowler for world cricket. Most of the fans called him ‘King of the Swing’. The meaning of his nickname is the ability to swing the bowl. His swing bowls have created so many problems for the best batsmen in the world. He is an awesome bowler in English tracks and those tracks are ideal for swing bowling.

Jimmy Anderson started his international career in 2002 against Australia. Then he started test career in 2003 against Zimbabwe. After that, he is a regular member of the English test team. He was born in 1982 and now he is 38 years old. He played his last test against South Africa in 2020. Soon after he faced an injury and lost the other two test matches. His future is very doubtful and I believe he will retire from cricket soon.

All cricket matches in the world are stops due to Coronavirus. This will make no more matches to play for him and it’s better to retire for at this stage. Anderson has played 151 matches and taken 584 test wickets. He is the leading wicket-taker for a fast bowler in world cricket. Coronavirus will make no matches to play within England and which will most of the time make Anderson to quick his retirement.

Anderson has done brilliant service for England cricket. This has made to get Knighthood for him and he received Queen’s order in 2015. He has struggled so many powerful batting units in English tracks and finally takes his team into victory. He was received nice support from the other side when he was bowling. Stuart Broad the man who was regular supported him from the other side. They have together break 500+ wickets and it is the best bowling partnership for England forever.

Anderson contributes the English team to win 2009, 2013, and 2015 ashes for England. This has made him proud and it was the biggest win for him. Jimmy stopped playing ODI cricket in 2015 due to their poor performance in 2015 cricket world cup. England eliminated from the tournament after losing the match against Bangladesh. This made him retire from one day cricket. It was finally became a good decision for him and he succeed in the test cricket. However, Anderson is the most ODI wicket-taker for England.

He has taken 100+ wickets in Lord's cricket ground and only Muttiah Muralidharan achieved this effort before. As a cricket fan, I loved his bowling against India in 2018. Indian batsman was facing many difficulties when facing him and who took many wickets. He has trapped Virat Kholi on so many occasions. But Kholi then loves to play against him in English soil.

However, I can believe James Anderson will retire from cricket soon after the Coronavirus case. If he receives a match or series, it will his final series for England as a home series. Anderson still believes he can play England country cricket for a few more years. This is hopeful to see what will happen in the future. I still believe Jimmy will end his career this year.

 

2004 Champions Trophy Semi-Final Match Review

England Vs Australia in Edbanghston

2004 champions trophy was an unforgettable series for me. I was a 10 years old boy and that series helped me to love cricket more. Unfortunately, my home team already out of the tournament in the first round. But I watched the semi-final due to my interest in cricket. Before the match, I bet Australia with my heart. But the match belonged to England.

Australia was the number one ODI side in the world when coming to the series. But the benefit of home soil helped the England team to get the win. I was expecting the winner of the Australia team and anyhow England finished the match by surprising me. The match was held at Edbanghston cricket ground in Birmingham.

Australia bat first and put a score of 259/9 within their 50 overs. They lost few quick wickets within a few overs in the early and the middle. Anyhow Damien Martin played a brilliant inning of 65. The quick 42 of the Michael Clarke helped them a lot to take them to 250 marks. Other batsmen were failed to get many runs. England bowlers bowl well and they controlled the Aussie batsmen very well. Darren Gough became the star for them and who got 3 wickets for 48. English captain bowled well and took 2 wickets for 42 runs.

This is too much less score when considering the batting power of the Australia cricket team. Gilcrist, Heyden, Ponting was failed to get a big score and which affect them to restrict to 259. Otherwise, they could have to get 300+ and put the England team on pressure. However, they had a brilliant bowling unit staring at Glenn Mcgrath and Brett Lee.

England started their inning and lost the early wicket of Wickham Solanki. Then set Marcus Trescothick to Michael Vaughan and put 150+ partnership. It was the base to get the victory for England. Michael Vaughan was the captain of the English team and who played a great inning of 86 with beautiful boundaries. Marcus, on the other hand, played a magic inning of 81. I have seen both players were playing amazing cricket in their home soils. Michael Vaughan then became my star after watched his great knock. Marcus also my favorite English cricketer. Andrew Strauss finished the game very quickly and England won the game by saving 21 more bowls in their inning.

Brett Lee took two wickets. But English batsmen were grab 65 runs from him and Glenn Macgrath also failed in their bowling in this match. Michael Vaughan became the man of the match for his great knock and bowling performance.

England qualified to the final and Australia were eliminated from the tournament. However, the England team lost the final match and West Indies became the winners by defeating them 2 wickets. That tournament was awesome for me in my childhood and I loved most of the cricketers in all cricket teams. I hated Australia and I cheer when they lost and match. It was the time I saw the most powerful Australian team in world cricket. It certifies that they became 3 consecutive world cup winners in 1999,2003 and 2007.
