CW: Cricket / Jimmy Anderson / Greatness
All sports have mundane moments. I like to judge sport by the highest moments. At their pinnacle is where the greatness can be found.
Longevity is key too in defining individual greatness. i.e. In his greatest moments nobody reached the heights of Ronaldinho, but sadly his star shone for too short a time. Messi reached similar heights but has done it over a long career, which is why he’s quite rightly regarded as the greatest of all time.
Messi winning the World Cup in the twilight of his career was one of the highest moments in sport. Ronnie winning a seventh snooker World Championship at age 46 compares.
But there is very little that is more testing than Test Match Cricket when played at its highest level. Pure grit and grind for seven hours per day over five days. Physically and mentally pushing to the absolute limits.
Jimmy Anderson has had his fair share of involvement in those ‘highest moments’ in his 21 year career. I still pinch myself that I was there in Cardiff in 2009 when he pulled off one of his most unlikely moments.
Seeing him well up as his family rang the famous Lords bell this morning at the start of his last ever match was a moving moment.
Turning 42 this month he’s still England’s very best and could probably keep going for a few more years if England weren’t so hasty to look to the future instead of just picking the best. But perhaps going out whilst at the very top will be something he’ll be able to look back on with thanks instead of say fading out in to his mid forties.
I remember when Courtney went past 500 Test wickets. He was the GOAT back then. To have gone past 700, as a fast bowler, is nothing short of a miracle, Sir Jimmy.
Whatever happens over this next five days nothing can take this away from you: You have achieved true greatness on one of the greatest and toughest stages. You’re up there with Leo, Ronnie and the select few others in the tiny club of the very greatest sports people of all time.

Apparently, Jimmy Anderson has played in nearly 1/5 of England’s test matches ever and has, single-handedly, bowled 3.6% of all the balls the side has delivered in the 150 year history of Test match cricket. Bloody hell. That’s a lot of hard yakka.
