'Ruthless England make right decision on Anderson': bbc.co.uk But the output has dipped. Just 15 wickets in his past eight Tests, compared to the 38 Broad took in his final eight. Anderson may have taken a hatful against West Indies and Sri Lanka this summer, but that would have only kicked the can down the road. It is the right decision. Makes no sense to me, if he's good enough keep kicking the can. Technically everyone has to be replaced eventually sooner or later.

I noticed in his writings of the India tour. I also suspect he's probably the next BBC cricket correspondant when Aggers steps down from that role at the end of the summer - that's why he was the only one sent to India (and the fact that TMS were stopped from broadcasting the series)
