Wednesday ko Lord’s par shuru hone wala series opener Lancashire ke fast bowler, James Anderson, ke 188ve aur aakhri Test match ko darshata hai. Yeh match unke do dashakon ke lambe aur historical cricketing career ka antim padav hoga. Anderson ne Test cricket mein 700 se zyada wickets liye hain, jo ab tak kisi bhi fast bowler ne haasil nahi kiye. Test cricket mein unse zyada matches sirf Bharat ke Sachin Tendulkar (200) ne khele hain.
2003 mein Lord’s par Zimbabwe ke khilaf apne Test debut se lekar ab tak, cricket ki duniya mein kai tabdiliyaan aayi hain. Pehle jahan Test cricket mein safalta ke liye established hona zaroori hota tha, aaj Indian Premier League (IPL) jaise T20 tournaments ne young players ke liye ek naya manzar paida kiya hai. Aise mein fast bowlers ke liye T20 formats attractive hote ja rahe hain, jahan kam mehnat mein zyada paisa milta hai.
Anderson Ka Test Cricket Se Lagav
James Anderson ne kaha, “Test cricket meri shakhsiyat ka ek aham hissa hai. Isne mujhe sirf ek cricketer nahi, balki ek insaan ke roop mein bhi shape kiya hai. Is format mein jo mental aur physical challenges hote hain, wo kisi aur format mein nahi milte.”
Unhone apne career ko lambe samay tak chalane ke liye white-ball cricket ko chhoda, aur aaj wo Test cricket mein wicket-taking list mein teesre sthaan par hain. Sri Lanka ke Muttiah Muralitharan aur Australia ke Shane Warne, jo spinners the, sirf unse aage hain.
“Main samajhta hoon ki T20 cricket mein chaar overs bowling karke paisa kamaana aasan hai, lekin jo anand aur satisfaction mujhe Test cricket mein milta hai, wo aur kahin nahi, Anderson ne kaha. “Mujhe ummeed hai ki naye khiladi paiso ke peeche na bhagte hue, Test cricket ki asli ruh ko samjhenge.
England Ki Nayi Shuruaat aur James Anderson Ki Virasat
Anderson ke retirement ka faisla England ke cricket chiefs ne liya, jinka maqsad Australia ke 2025/26 Ashes series ke liye team ko rebuild karna hai. Anderson ne bhi career ke khatma ko tasleem karte hue kaha, Yeh waqt aage badhne ka hai, aur main apne career ke sabse acchi peak par retire ho raha hoon.
Lord’s par England ek nayi team ke saath utregi, jisme wicketkeeper Jamie Smith aur fast bowler Gus Atkinson jaise debutants shamil hain. Ben Stokes ki captaincy mein England ne entertaining aur attacking cricket khela hai, jise "Bazball" approach kehte hain. Lekin unhone apne pichle 11 Test matches mein sirf chaar jeete hain.
Conclusion
James Anderson ka Lord’s mein aakhri Test match unke liye ek shaandar career ka anjaam hai. Test cricket ka ye legendary fast bowler apni alag pehchaan chhod kar ja raha hai. Anderson ka influence aur unka Test cricket ke prati junoon aane wali generations ke fast bowlers ke liye hamesha ek misaal rahega.
