On Friday, England’s James Anderson bid farewell to his illustrious cricket career at Lord’s. Anderson finished with an outstanding 704 wickets in the longest format, cementing his legacy as one of the all-time great fast bowlers. As the Gentleman’s Game lost one of its icons, tributes poured in from cricketers and fans celebrating Anderson’s achievements.
However, Pakistan captain Babar Azam committed a blunder, congratulating Anderson on his retirement and referring to facing his ‘cutters’ as a privilege – an awkward statement given Anderson’s dominance over Pakistan.
“It was a privilege to face your cutters, Jimmy! The beautiful game will now miss one of its greatest. Your incredible service to the sport has been nothing short of remarkable. Huge respect for you, GOAT,” Babar uploaded on X (formerly Twitter), then deleted the post.
He later corrected his error and posted , “It was a privilege to face your swing, Jimmy!

After a storied 20-year Test career spanning 188 matches, James Anderson closed out his legendary international tenure on a high note. On Friday, England defeated the West Indies by an innings and 114 runs.
After the match, the veteran seamer reflected on his amazing 20-year journey with the England cricket team. He expressed being overwhelmed by the crowd’s enthusiastic reaction.
Summarising the game, James Anderson claimed the early breakthrough on the opening day, dismissing Joshua Da Silva to effectively crush the West Indies’ resistance.
As veteran James Anderson bid farewell, debutant Gus Atkinson seized the moment, etching his name on the Lord’s honors board with a ten-wicket haul – a seamless transition of the baton, if ever there was one.
