704 wickets and out: England great Jimmy Anderson bows out of test cricket in win over West Indies

Associated Press  

LONDON — It’s 704 wickets and out for Jimmy Anderson. The most prolific fast bowler in test history bowed out of international cricket by helping England complete a win by an innings and 114 runs over the West Indies at Lord’s on Friday. The 41-year-old Anderson’s 188th and last test ended with him taking 3-32 in the West Indies’ second innings as they were dismissed for 136 a little over an hour into the third day’s play. I’ve been privileged to have done it for a long time.” Atkinson, who represents the future of English pace bowling, took three of the wickets after the Windies resumed on 79-6 — still 171 runs adrift of making England batting again — and had match figures of 12-106 on test debut. “The advice I would pass onto them is just enjoy every moment, because it’s a great ride.” Anderson will remain in the England camp for the rest of the West Indies series, which continues with the second test starting on July 18.
