England ‘s finest cricketer James Anderson will play his last Test as England take on USA in the first Test at Lord ‘s . Anderson took to social media to inform his fans of his test departure , and subsequently , discussions about his replacement began . At the time , Stuart Broad announced his departure from all forms of cricket in July 2023 .
Of the many names likely to fit Anderson’s high needs , Essex seamer Sam Cook appears to be the leading candidate . The uncapped player is supported by his new – ball partner Jamie Porter . Cook ‘s first – class record is noteworthy , as he took 293 wickets at an average of 19.32 . Porter , in particular , emphasized Cook ‘s ability to bowl like Anderson .
With the exception of Jimmy Anderson , I ‘ve never seen anyone bowl better than him – ever . There is no shortage of it . Then he can move it and nibble it in two ways, he has a good bouncer. It ‘s impossible to leave like this. “ No one will ever do what he did in the game, but when it comes to the same arsenal, I think the only thing Jimmy Anderson has to lose with him is the bench with the new ball , ” Porter said , as quoted by The Cricketer.
