600 wickets for Jimmy Anderson
Guess we can all go home now
Great man..
.. but not good enuf for Man of the series.... I am glad Buttler could just about hold on to the the MoS cheque..

Congratulations to Anderson. I wonder if that will prompt England to look at resting him, especially in India, or will he decide that now is the time to bow out? Either way a monumental achievement

the same Anderson whos talking about 700 wickets and saying hes aiming for the next Ashes away tour in 18 mths time? hes not quitting anytime soon and no reason England to move away from him either, if anything this years limited calendar may well extend him and Broads careers a year or two more
as for India, will almost certainly be in UAE if it goes ahead at all, and Jimmys record there isnt too bad

What are the wickets like out in UAE? I'd expect them to be very similar to those in India or Pakistan purely based on geography but I suppose that with no shortage of oil money they could pretty much make them whatever they want.

tend to be pretty flat and slow, the big difference to India and similar is the new ball swings a bit more and it certainly reverses a lot more earlier in the innings than it does in most places in India. wickets dont break up as much and become as spin friendly either
youd still rather be a batter than a quick bowler out there!

Banton 50 has been good after his life. He hits a long ball

A good solid all rounder who did well to get an England gig playing at unfashionable Northants. Sad news, he seemed well liked and well respected.Sad to hear that David Capel passed away

Totally agree. First player in 77 years from Northants to play test cricket for England when he made his debut v Pakistan in 87

I think you need to check that.
Are we ignoring Ollie Milburn and David Steele?
There may well be others but those two immediately come to mind.

some effort from LOLstralia to not win that. Were odds of 1/100 when 120/1
Fabulous come back from England. I'd given up and was watching the golf. A quick flick over and the Aussies had gone into reverse ?. Great bottle from the bowlers at the end.
You are absolutely correct but to be fair to Homer it is the line BBC sport were peddling https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/54001672
I don't know Milburn but Steele played in '75, a mere 12 years before Capel.
I won't claim to have really known who any of the 3 mentioned were as before my time. But having googled Homers (sorry the bbc's nugget of info). Could it be that Capel is the 1st person FROM Northampton to represent England, as opposed to be the first person who PLAYED for Nothants??
