Chris Woakes to Kraigg Brathwaite, Lovely. This is some fruit salad being served by Anderson and Woakes. Comes in from over the wicket does Woakes, gets the ball to angle into the righthander and then gets the ball to curve away in the air, like a papaya. Kraigg Brathwaite defends it watchfully.

It is interesting to see the shoes of James Anderson as the camera pans on the sticker bound to the laces. The sticker on the left boot reads 22nd May, 2003, which was the date of his first Test, against Zimbabwe. The sticker on the right boot reads 10th July, 2024, which is his last Test, against West Indies. It is always hard work playing this sport but perhaps extra hard work being a fast bowler. We always talk about what happened on the field but rarely do we talk about the effort gone behind the scenee. Additionally, you need some luck as a fast bowler as well, especially in terms of injuries. Anderson has had his fair share as well, when he had to remodel his action due to a stress fracture before going back to his old action. Even at the age of 40, he has not lost his zeal and can perhaps play on for a few more years.
