The Impact James Anderson's Retirement Has On England

What Happened:

  James Anderson has retired from all forms of cricket on 12th July 2024 after a win against the West Indies in the first Test Match of the 3 match series. He will no longer take part in international cricket anymore. It is a sad moment for all cricket fans as he has the highest amount of ODI wickets for England(269) has 18 T20I wickets because of the lack of T20IS he played. He also took 704 wickets in Test Matches which is his most admirable feat.

The Bigger Picture:

Jimmy Anderson has maybe deserved the title of the best English Test bowler. England has always had an admirable team with amazing bowlers as well. That just shows how good he was that he stood out. England gave the West Indians a thumping defeat of an innings and 114 runs. If someone tries listing the feats that Jimmy Anderson has achieved they will never finish. Hence, I will not waste your time and tell what England should do now.

The Way Forward:

England have a lot of talent and they also have a very effective coaching and grooming system. They have a lot of players that have played a few Test Matches and have performed such as, Gus Atkinson, Mathew Potts, Josh Tounge etc. If you look at talent they have a lot however, when one gets to such a high level of cricket then going back down could upset the fans. They could go down because before whenever in trouble England would just call Anderson or Stuart Broad( who retired in the last match of the Ashes). 

Are Youngsters The Solution?:

These youngsters won't have the experience to bowl in the tough situations. You could use Mark Wood ,but with the frequent injuries he gets that could be a problem. The same goes for Jofra Archer for those of you that believe he could be a solution. You need someone you can rely on anytime. Usually Chris Woakes is fit, but who will bowl the hard overs alongside him. In that case Matthew Potts is the best choice as he has the discipline in his bowling and the knack of troubling the batsman. We will have to see what Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum decide.

What a thriller! Everything to know about England Vs Australia

 England vs Australia, a match the world held their breath for. I can say this it did not disappoint. From Duckett's 165 to Inglis' maiden century of 120* we saw some terrific hitting as well. The match started off with England using the pitch conditions perfectly. Soon though the first wicket fell with an amazing catch from Alex Carey, someone usually seen with gloves on took a breathtaking catch on the edge of the circle.    Joe Root and Duckett had an important partnership and some good finishing by Livingstone and Archer took England to a Mamoth total of 351 runs. Australia had a huge target to chase. They started off shaky losing 2 wickets early in the 4 and 5 overs respectively. Travis Head and Steve Smith were the only ones to miss out on as Matt Short and Marnus Labushagne steadied the ship. 2 wickets fell quick and Josh Inglis and Alex Carey appeared at the wicket together.   These two almost single handedly took Australia to the finish line. This made Austr...

 Pakistan has played 2 matches in the 2024 T20 world cup and the first match was a disspaointment for the Pakistani fans. Pakistan suffered a humiliating defeat against the co-hosts USA. They drew out the match and took it to the super over in which they lost. Pakistan batted first and made 159 runs with 7 wickets down in 20 overs. It was a poor performance from the Pakistani team. Their captain Babar Azam played very slowly and couldn't get the start they needed from the openers. Mohammad Rizwan also played poorly making 9 runs of 8 balls. The Pakistani team was under pressure early and to top it all of wickets kept falling. Pakistan got to this misely total because of a partnership of 62 runs featuring Babar Azam and Shadab Khan. The USA got a reasonably good start but couldnt let loose like they did in the previous match. They needed 13 runs of the last 3 balls courtesy of a crucial 50 from the captain himself Monank Patel. They made 12 runs and took the match to the super over....
