The Final Word with Jimmy Anderson

Season 16, Episode 30: A conversation with the most prolific fast bowler in the history of the game is the type of thing that might normally take us a couple of hours or more. Given that wasn’t possible we found another way to do this, and it worked a treat. Jimmy joined Adam to talk about growing the game but stuck around to reflect in a heartfelt manner on his retirement, staggering longevity, desire to keep bowling for some time yet, and difficulty coming to terms with being officially described as middle-aged.
