Lancashire confer a benefit year on James Anderson – Cricket News Update
Lancashire County Cricket Club has granted a benefit year to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750. Jimmy is happy to have this
honour and confident of earning valuable victories for the club during the next county season.
Anderson was at the forefront of Team England’s ruinous pace attack against the Men in Blue at Lord’s and Trent Bridge, where the 1st and 2nd Test matches were played respectively.
The fast and furious pacer took 7 wickets in the 1st match and walked away with a 5-wicket haul in the 2nd game, steering his side to win the two contests by 196 and 319 runs respectively. The biggest matter of esteem for the fast bowler
was to bowl out http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556, the Indian batting legend, and the world’s top scorer of all time.
After these eye-catching and mouth-watering performances, Jimmy has turned to be a blue-eyed boy in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 and both the English cricket managers and fans are lavishly showering honours and greetings on him.
Capitalising on the opportunity, Lancashire have also announced to award a benefit next season to Anderson.
Talking to the media, the Cricket Director of the club, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Michael-Watkinson-c76240, said, “James is a great inspiration to all young cricketers. His journey has taken him from Burnley Cricket Club, through the county development programmes to become one of the leading
bowlers in world cricket.”
He further told, “This has taken a considerable amount of effort and commitment and he always gives his all when appearing for Lancashire or his country. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lancashire-c806 is delighted to be officially recognising James’s great service by rewarding him with a hugely
deserved benefit year.”
The pacer has already played a number of First-Class and List A games for the club and grabbed 736 wickets in total.
Making his Test debut in 2003, Jimmy has passed through many odds to prove his mettle at the international level.
The right-arm medium-fast bowler now poses to be the mainstay of the English pace attack. He has 61 Test matches to his credit with 231 wickets.
