James Anderson leaves Sky Sports pundits in stitches with Nasser Hussain response

England legend James Anderson left the entire Sky Sports punditry team in stitches after comparing Nasser Hussain's captaincy to Ben Stokes.

Hussain gave Anderson his international debut in an ODI against Australia in 2002 and was also captain when he made his Test debut the following year against Zimbabwe. 20 years later, Anderson has represented England on 390 occasions across all formats and is the third-highest Test wicket taker of all time with 675.

And at 40-years-old, Anderson believes he "could carry on for a number of years" as he is enjoying playing under Stokes' captaincy so much, joking to Hussain that he's "not sure I'd still be going" if he was still his captain.
