It has been a joy to watch you bowl: Sachin Tendulkar writes in his post after James Anderson retires from international cricket

Indian cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar on Friday wrote a special message on X platform to wish English pacer James Anderson who retired from international cricket after the first Test against West Indies.

Sachin wrote: " Hey Jimmy!You've bowled the fans over with that incredible 22-year spell. Here's a little wish as you bid goodbye."

" It has been a joy to watch you bowl - with that action, speed, accuracy, swing and fitness. You've inspired generations with your game,"Anderson said. "Wish you a wonderful life ahead with good health and happiness as you put those new shoes on for the most important spell of your life - the time with family," he said. 

England registered a crushing victory over West Indies by an innings and 114 runs to take 1-0 lead.

The Test match assumed significance since Anderson was playing the last match of his illustrious career.

Anderson took three wickets by giving away 32 runs in his final innings.

He took just one wicket in the first innings.

Playing 188 Tests, Anderson took 704 wickets, just behind Australian Shane Warne (708) and Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan (800) in the list of highest-wicketakers.
