Labuschagne Praises Anderson’s Impact On The Game

#New Delhi
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.

“Jimmy’s a phenomenal bowler and still is, his skill, his understanding of conditions. You just look at when England went to India and his ability to navigate those conditions and be so effective and be able to create opportunities.

​​​​​​​ “Even though over the years he has dropped a bit of pace, but his skills are just immaculate, so it’s going to be sad to see the end for Jimmy because I think he has added so much for the game. His durability speaks volumes of him as a bowler and what he’s done is just unheard of.

“When he’s on top you’re just trying to find your way out. We’ve had some good battles over my time – the last Ashes was a pretty good battle at Lord’s and we’ve had some good county cricket battles,” said Labuschagne.
