- James Anderson
Jimmy Anderson is perhaps the best fast bowler English cricket has ever produced. For a little over a decade now, Anderson has remained a vital cog of the English Cricket Team and his success a major factor in England cricket team’s rise.
Early on in his career, he used to rely too much on inswingers and cutters. But in the absence of any other impactful fast bowler, Anderson became the spearhead of the English attack. He Concentrated on the line and length so that it complements his deadly seam and swing, and his limited repertoire becomes lethal. By his own admission, it was after Indian bowler, Zaheer Khan’s success in England that made him add reverse swing to his skillset.
