Memes on James Anderson defence: After the Test match at Lord’s met its end, barring the happy celebrations of India, there was one more glimpse that got viral. It was the dismissal of James Anderson.
Siraj claimed his wicket with a beauty of a delivery swinging in and that rattled his stumps. As soon as the ball hit the timbre, the fans erupted in immense joy and the cricketers started celebrating loud.
However, Anderson, still trying to figure out what exactly happened, was holding onto his defensive pose. This picture gave birth to a meme fest and the fans simply couldn’t stop laughing.
India put on a remarkable performance at the Lord’s to go ahead in the series. It needed a blistering century from Rahul and some decent knocks from the others, including a mind-bending partnership between Shami and Bumrah to help India set a big total on the boards.
Trying to chase a mammoth total of 258, England was shortly in trouble as both their openers were sent home for a duck. After an initial display of collective brilliance, Siraj ripped the tail apart, claiming four in the process.
Anderson was the last man to depart. Even before the Test started, Jimmy was doubtful about the match. However, he got back in the team and put up a brilliant show. He was involved in a heated exchange with Bumrah on the last day as he rocked him with a nasty bouncer. Hence, when he was seen clutching onto the bat even after being dismissed, Indian fans left no stones unturned.
From pictures of him defending in a garden to Indian fans making it a happy spectacle, the micro-blogging Twitter tugged every possible scenario. We will take a quick look at the most hilarious memes that reigned over the internet in the wake of his removal, portraying the iconic James Anderson defence.
