Sir James Anderson

[chris.hinton]

Yes but imagine being on the same list as Gove, Shapps and Theresa Villiers.

Again it makes not a jot who he's there with. It's good he's got a knighthood

What is Resignation honours list?

Sunak lost the 2024 UK Election so as PM he is forced to resign as part of the process he nominates people (Usually close associates) to be peers (Go into the House of Lords) or knighted.

Sir Anderson has a real ring to it.

I like James Anderson. He's a real guy's guy. He's not a loudmouth like that ******** Steve Alistair Cook.

Well this was a good way to find out the forum doesn't moderate language!

Anderson over Roberts in the Knights team for me.

Some big stones being thrown in glass houses here.

Anyway need make sure I've got enough tea in for today's tea time alarm. It's a Sunday so bound to have someone passing by knocking on the door when it goes off. Need to be prepared.

Interestingly enough, it's censored now.

I think you'll find he was knighted for averaging 84 with the ball in his last Ashes series.

I hate how much misinformation there is on the internet.

I'm old enough to remember David Sales scoring a double hundred on debut. It was news at the time, and he followed that up with a 300 a few years later as well. Better player than his record suggests and he played the game a few years ahead of its time.

A fair few thought he was a bit unlucky not to get England honours back in the day,

If he'd debuted five/ten years earlier he'd have probably featured in the merry-go-round of English selection policy of the 90s but he hit his peak during the Fletcher years when England had settled down and established a relatively strong middle order for many years.
