BUMBLE ON THE TEST: I knew there would be a late twist for the fifth Test when India didn't train... the move showed their hand, and you don't play if you don't practice as a team before I knew there would be a fifth Test twist when India didn't turn up to practice That showed their hand, you don't play if you don't train as a team beforehand India may deny Jimmy Anderson a final hurrah at a venue which bears his name But the damage is deeper than that and makes his personal situation incidental

It might be that India’s refusal to fulfil their commitment and play the final Test denied Jimmy Anderson a final hurrah on a ground which bears his name at one end.
But the damage is much deeper than that and makes Jimmy’s personal situation incidental.
He might not make another England appearance at his home of Emirates Old Trafford, although if you know Jimmy, you will realise there will be no fuss. The lad’s from Burnley - they don’t do fuss.
