You have a similar claim to the title as Jimmy Anderson.

Wasn’t much of a bowler.
Was more interested in thunder-cunting the ball as far as I could with the bat.

He isn't a fast bowler in its true context
Accurate and nagging certainly

Sheffield Shield Final has started today. Victoria are 129/6 at Tea.

One of the openers is 25 not out. Randall will approve.

I assume they need a result after the 4 (?) days of play or they share the trophy?
Just seems silly playing in that way if thats the case.
