Jimmy Anderson doesn’t talk to the press much, he’s started being more verbal of recent years through his podcast, but he’s still known as a very monosyllabic grunter. But in lockdown, he finally opened up in some very long chats with Samanth Subramanian. So, we got Samanth on to discuss Jimmy’s bowling, James’ off field personality and why his run up is longer now.
