Lancashire are exploring a proper send-off for James Anderson as supporters voice frustration over how the bowler's exit from the club has played out.
Lancashire are set to explore the idea of a farewell for James Anderson, with unrest among the club's supporters over his departure putting pressure on the county to mark the moment properly.
Anderson is one of the most celebrated names ever to wear the Red Rose. He is a Lancashire man through and through, and he became England's most prolific fast bowler in Test history. For many fans, a player of that stature leaving without a proper goodbye simply doesn't sit right.
The mood among supporters has been one of frustration, with plenty of voices calling for the club to honour a bowler who has given so much to the county over a long and decorated career. Lancashire now appear ready to respond by looking at what a fitting tribute could involve.
No details of format or date have been set, and the club is still at the stage of considering its options. Still, the willingness to engage signals that the message from the stands has been heard. Whatever shape any farewell takes, the expectation is that Anderson's contribution to Lancashire will be recognised in a way that matches his legacy.
