James Anderson
James Michael Anderson, OBE (born 30 July 1982), usually known as Jimmy Anderson, is an English international cricketer who plays for Lancashire County Cricket Club and the England cricket team. Anderson is the all-time leading wicket-taker among fast bowlers surpassing Glenn McGrath (563 wickets) and holds the record of most wickets for England in both Test and One-Day International (ODI) cricket. He is the only English bowler, and the 6th overall, to pass 500 Test wickets. He is the leading wicket-taker among fast bowlers in test cricket.
Anderson plays first-class cricket for Lancashire county cricket club and since arriving on the international scene in 2002/03 (before his first full season of County cricket) has represented England in 150 Test matches and nearly 200 One Day Internationals. He is England's all-time highest international wicket-taker when combined across all three formats.
A right-arm pace bowler, Anderson made his international debut at the age of just 20, on England's 2002/03 tour of Australia. When he played his first ODI he had only played five List A matches. Anderson went on to feature in the 2003 ICC World Cup and made his Test match debut against Zimbabwe at Lord's the next summer. Later in 2003, he experienced a dip in form and confidence against South Africa. After this, he was in and out of the team and experienced numerous injuries, including a stress fracture of the back which kept him out of action for most of the 2006 season. He returned to action and is now the opening bowler in England's Test team. He was a regular strike bowler in England's one-day team but has not played in that format since the 2015 World Cup. He is the first English bowler to reach 400 and 500 wickets in Test matches, and on 11 September 2018, he became 4th highest Test wicket-taker of all time. He reached this position when he took his 564th Test wicket, passing Glenn McGrath as the leading wicket-taker among fast bowlers. As of March 2020 he is ranked No.8 in the ICC Test Bowling Rankings, having previously reached the top position at various times between 2016 and 2018.
On 25 July 2016, during the second Test of that year's England-Pakistan series at Old Trafford, he became the first fast bowler to take 50 wickets against all other 7 major Test-playing nations, Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka and West Indies. In December 2019, in the first Test against South Africa, Anderson became the ninth cricketer to play in 150 Test matches. In January 2020, in the second Test of the series against South Africa, Anderson took his 28th five-wicket haul in Test cricket. He surpassed Sir Ian Botham's record of 27, to become the bowler with the most five-wicket hauls for England in Test cricket.
James Anderson was a pupil at St Mary's and St Theodore's RC High School, Burnley. He played cricket at Burnley Cricket Club from a young age. His childhood dream was to be a cricketer, and at the age of 17, after a growth spurt, Anderson was one of the fastest bowlers in the Lancashire League. He stated that "I've always bowled seam, but when I was about 17 I don't know what it was but I just started bowling fast all of a sudden".
Just months after his debut he had become one of the biggest stars in English cricket. Continuous alteration of hair styles, attractive looks, and up-to-the-minute outfits earned him comparisons with some of the most recognisable sports personalities around, including David Beckham In 2006, at Holy Angels' RC Church, Hale, he married Daniella Lloyd, a model he met in 2004 while on England duty in London; he stated that marriage has made him "a much happier person". On 8 January 2009, Daniella Anderson gave birth to a baby girl, Lola Rose. The couple's second daughter, Ruby Luxe, was born on 9 December 2010.
