'You Always Lift Your Game To A New Standard When Jimmy's Out On The Field', Says Labuschagne

Following James Anderson: Following James Anderson’s announcement of retiring from the game after England’s opening Test against the West Indies at Lord’s in July, Australia top-order batter Marnus Labuschagne paid tribute to the veteran pacer, saying he had to lift standards of his game when facing him.

Last week, Anderson announced he would end his playing career following the Lord’s Test against the West Indies, starting on July 10. The prolific right-arm fast-bowler had earned 187 Test caps in an illustrious long career for England since his debut in 2003.

Earlier this year, Anderson became the third bowler after Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralitharan to reach the landmark of 700 Test wickets, the most by any fast-bowler, during England’s fifth and final match of their India tour at Dharamshala in March.
