The Lords! Historic ground captured a lot of iconic moments and one more added to it when James Anderson played his last game at this Venue in the first test of the West Indies tour of India 2024.

For 21 years, he has thundered down the pitch, defying age with his relentless fitness at 41. In an era dominated by money-luring global franchise leagues, he stood firm as a purist, choosing the honor of the game over the allure of riches. Specializing in a single format, he remained a relevant and formidable force, outwitting batters with his strategic mind games.

With a quiet dignity, he performed his craft, shunning the limelight and letting his prowess speak for itself. Fiercely competitive yet outwardly gracious, he concluded his illustrious career with a staggering 704 Test wickets. A fast bowler like no other, James Michael Anderson - thank you for gracing Test cricket with your masterful swing and seam.
