Cricketers congratulate ‘GOAT’, ‘Modern-day legend’ Anderson for stellar career

Congratulations on an amazing career @Jimmy9 … your endurance, passion and commitment were always next level, your ability to take wickets was second to none… like your 114 not outs as a batter you will remain not out in our hearts… best wishes for whatever you do in future.…

Congratulations to James Anderson on a great career. I never thought it was possible for a seam bowler to play that many years/test matches at such a high level of consistency. Hopefully he is allowed to use 21 years of knowledge, skill and greatness to build the next generation.

Hey Jimmy!

You've bowled the fans over with that incredible 22-year spell. Here's a little wish as you bid goodbye.

It has been a joy to watch you bowl - with that action, speed, accuracy, swing and fitness. You've inspired generations with your game.

Wish you a wonderful life… pic.twitter.com/ETp2e6qIQ1— Sachin Tendulkar (@sachin_rt) July 12, 2024

Tough to sum up a man's entire career in a few sentences.
Bud, you have been fantastic.
Thank you so much for all these years of incredible inspiration and dramatic duels we've had.
I was there to watch today. Some things one just shouldn't miss.
