MOVE ALONG THE GUS

ON THE day English cricket rolled out the red carpet for departing legend Jimmy Anderson, Gus Atkinson stole the show.

Atkinson destroyed West Indies with 7-45, the secondbest figures by an England bowler on Test debut, including three wickets in four balls.

Nudging 90mph on the speed gun, bowling wicket to wicket and hurrying the batsmen, Atkinson hustled out the Windies for just 121.

By the close of play, England were sailing over the horizon on 189-3 in reply, already 68 in front, with Zak Crawley’s dashing 76 leading the charge.

Anderson’s family – wife Daniella, daughters Lola and Ruby, father Michael and mum Catherine – were afforded the honour of ringing the bell before start of play. Then England’s greatest bowler of all time passed the torch to Atkinson.
