Meet James ‘Jimmy’ Anderson
Jimmy Anderson is the greatest pace bowler of all time. With the final ball of the 2018 season, he surpassed Glen McGrath’s record for test wickets. His skill and mastery of swing bowling has pushed him to third on the list of all-time test wicket takers. Over a 16-year career, he’s bagged more than 570 test wickets and 850 international wickets in total. Jimmy has won three Ashes with England and taken cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar’s wicket more times than any other bowler…
Not bad for a Burnley lad who only ever aspired to have a Peugeot with his name on it.
