The veteran England cricketer Jimmy Anderson is set to play his final Test at Lords in the week after the General Election.
The Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians @ACScricket has tweeted that if Starmer wins on July 4th Anderson will hold the record of having played a Test under eight Prime Ministers.
Liz Truss was briefly Prime Minister in the early Autumn of 2022. Many are still impacted by the consequences of her 49 day tenure.
Jimmy Anderson is quite possibly the only person to achieve something positive during Truss’s 49 days. The England v South Africa Test was played between 8-12 September 2022. One day was washed out and one day cancelled due to the death of the Queen. Even so Anderson still managed to take three wickets. That Test also saw him become the first England player to win 100 home Test caps
