00:00I think walking off there at the end and obviously taking the last wicket to win

00:04the game I think you could sort of see from everyone it was like right games

00:09done now but there's also that overwhelming feeling of this is the last

00:14time that we will get to walk off the field with Jimmy but also the last time

00:19that you know the crowds have come out to watch us we'll see Jimmy walk off the

00:22field but the reception he got and then obviously walking off and then you know

00:26that half an hour after where he got the sort of reception that he deserved

00:31was very very special to be part of. Will you be able to squeeze a tear out of him?

00:38Who knows he is a very emotional person Jimmy even though you might not look

00:42like it I think he's done well to to hold the tears back you know obviously

00:47he's had an amazing reception here watching his family you know ring the

00:51bell for the start of the Test match I think he's done very well to to hold

00:55back those emotions but I think you know tonight and over the next couple of days

00:58might see a you know a bit more emotional Jimmy Anderson. I feel as if

01:03today and you know it's it's more of a you know celebration of Jimmy's career

01:08looking back at all of the special moments that he's had over was it 20 21

01:13years the amount of games that he's won for England with the ball you know by

01:17himself but also you know I think as well you know what a great person what

01:23a great man the well I think what sums them up is Gus actually apologised to him for

01:27taking that last wicket and Jimmy just sort of is this live told him to F off

01:34so you know you know that just sums them up you know he's he's someone who loves

01:39seeing people do well I'm sure he would have loved to have had that fairytale

01:43ending like Brawley did last year but I think for him seeing a young lad come in

01:47and take 12 wickets on debut you know I think he really enjoyed that for Gus as

01:52well
