Ruthless England make right decision on Anderson

This starts the protracted farewell.

Head coach Brendon McCullum is the one who usually brings bad or positive news to the England players, not captain Ben Stokes.

Even for a brilliant man-manager such as McCullum, this had to have been the hardest. to inform England’s all-time greatest fast bowler, James Anderson, that it’s time to go on by looking him in the eye.

A deadly wound sustained while playing golf, though not nearly as tragic as Old Yeller or Lenny in Of Mice and Men. Should the Stokes-McCullum period be viewed as a grand sports drama culminating in Australia, then a cherished figure has recently been eliminated from the narrative. Dumbledore has passed away.

Anderson should have received a personal explanation from McCullum, even if it meant travelling over 11,000 miles from his home. Having completed the circle of the skipper bringing Anderson in from the cold when he took over two years ago, Stokes would have been fully aware.

All references to a comfortable England locker room and a dearth of responsibility as long as the Bazball Kool-Aid is consumed ought to be eliminated. Given that Stokes and McCullum are born winners, leading a team that isn’t winning right now, this is a callous move.

The phrase “planning to live forever, but living like you will die tomorrow” is used by McCullum. Anderson, who will be 43 when the plane lands in Australia at the end of 2025, has been patted on the shoulder because the Ashes will always be England’s forever.
