Exit Anderson, Enter Atkinson?
Few games love statistics as much as cricket. And when you have a bowler playing his 188th test match, he becomes a statistician’s delight. If James Michael Anderson were a chemical element, he would probably have been an alchemist’s favourite, being experimented with to create gold. As it stands, he has come to exemplify the gold standard for England’s aspiring pace bowlers, not just by his longevity but his quality as well.
The mind boggles when one looks at the sheer career span of Anderson. He’s been around forever, making his debut against Zimbabwe way back in May 2003. His first test was test match number 1646, his last is number 2538. Of the 892 tests in this span, he played in a staggering 21%. This is also a tribute to the emphasis England has put on test cricket.
