The players of the Pakistan cricket team are famous for their weak and incorrect English. Babar Azam, the current captain of the team, who was badly eliminated from the T20 World Cup, is no different. He is often seen struggling to speak English during press conferences, toss or interviews. England's legendary bowler James Anderson played the last match of his career against West Indies on 12 July. While congratulating him on his retirement, he made such a mistake that no fan could believe it. Due to this, the fans questioned not only his English but also his knowledge of cricket and trolled him fiercely.

What did Babar say after all?

The England team defeated the West Indies by an innings and 114 runs at Lord's on Friday. As soon as the match ended, Anderson started receiving congratulations on social media from cricketers around the world for his brilliant career. Babar Azam was also among those who congratulated him. The Pakistani captain wrote that it was an honor for him to face Anderson's cutters. Babar called him great and said that the game will miss him now. He had to write this much that the fans started following him, because James Anderson was famous for his swing and not cutters.

After trolling, Babar realized his mistake and deleted his post. He corrected it and posted it again and this time mentioned swing instead of cutters.

On Anderson's retirement, many Indian and foreign cricketers including Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh wrote congratulatory messages for him.

Anderson ends with victory

James Anderson had already retired from ODI and T20 formats. Now he has said goodbye to Test cricket as well. Anderson ended his career with a win. In this match, he also made two records of bowling more than 40000 balls in Test career and more than 50000 balls in international career. Let us tell you that he has played 188 matches in Tests, in which he has taken a total of 704 wickets. He is the only fast bowler to do all these three feats.
