Stuart Broad on James Anderson: "I'd have kept playing him".
Ashes winning captain Michael Vaughan and England legend Phil Tufnell reunite for a new series of The Vaughany and Tuffers Cricket Club. Hosted by Telegraph's Ben Wright, today's episode bids a fond farewell to genuine bowling legend Jimmy Anderson as he prepares to play his 188th (!) and final Test. It also features an interview with the recently retired Stuart Broad (who says the selectors may have made a mistake in tapping Jimmy on the shoulder). Plus, the trio unpack India's victory at the T20 World Cup and the England Women's outstanding recent performances against New Zealand.
