It's finally happening:

McCullum is looking to the future and basically told Anderson he'd be dropped.  He's had a good run, time for some new blood.

Great career! He was always on Cloud Nine!

Talking about current superstars

 

Anderson is 41 and only plays one format. Was still the best fast bowler from England in recent series in India.

No he was not best fast bowler, he lacked any penetration.He was tonked in last two tours once by Pant who treated him like rag doll and then Jaiswal.

 

Which current superstar needs to retire other than Rohit leaving t20s.

 

Kohli looks like he has found the second lease.He looks good in all formats. He is 35 and he is a batsman.

Kohli works in T20 only as an opener now where he can use powerplay and take his time. Won't be doing that in WT20

 

Rohit, Jadeja needs to go in T20. Ashwin needs to quit Tests to make way for Kuldeep as premier spinner.

Other than Rohit leaving T20, even before the world cup all others going to world cup are right call.They all should go from t20s affter the world cup.

 

Ashwin needs to play as long as possible in tests. If Kuldeep needs to given place in platter then he is not the premier spinner,

 

We all saw how well so called premier spinner bowled in world cup finals .  I will take beat up Ashwin in India over Kuldeep anyday.

Jadeja should go from ODIs too, unless they are in SC-like conditions. we need to groom a different no. 7 now. one who can hit better than Jaddu preferably.

 

Ashwin did poorly in the first 2 tests (will give him a pass for the 3rd due to family stuff), and bounced back well in the next 2. I have a feeling that he is nearly done, but I don't think he will prolong career too much. May retire voluntarily in a year

[Nikhil_cric]

About time.  He's been terrible for over a year.

How is it right call? What has Pandya, Siraj, Jadeja,Axar done to deserve the WT20 spot?

 

Kuldeep has performed in Tests whenever he played. Once he was dropped straight after getting MOTM. Ashwin needs to move aside now.

 

Kuldeep was fine in the final given the wet conditions. Also produced an edge. Ashwin went for over 7 RPO in CT 17 finals yet you are happy to have him just coz he's senior

Greatest English cricketer I have seen. Complete dickhead but otherworldly skills. Anderson-Broad jodi made England such a fortress for over a decade.

 

England's golden generation gone now: Cook, Strauss, Trott, KP, Bell, Prior, Swann, Broad and now this guy.

True, the current team looks so dull and add that Bazball drama as well. I doubt they will be able to dominate even at home.

For me thats KP. 

Anderson is the most overrated bowler ever - guy literally is the alltime greatest home bully, failing to average below 30 in tests practically everywhere outside of England.
