Get the feeling with pace, relative strengths and stamina, neither are going to be great on flat decks away, but with swing and seam on offer at home, I dont think England have yet to find a bowler with their craft to replace them. Always a believer that you encourage a guy to retire when hes got nothing left to give.... Broad just took 7/70 last test, and Anderson's home record in the last 10 years is all time great level.
Ok, if they cope a pounding this summer you re-evalutate, but if both do well Id be having words and giving them more limited roles to keep them around.

Leaving Broad out for Curran because Curran might get you 40 odd runs at number 9 is ludicrous.
