James Michael "Jimmy" Anderson (born 30 July 1982 in Burnley, Lancashire) is an international English cricketer. He plays first-class cricket for Lancashire County Cricket Club and since bursting onto the scene in 2002/03, before his first full season of county cricket, Anderson has represented England in 24 Test matches and 86 One Day Internationals.[1]

A right arm pace bowler, Anderson made his international debut at the age of just 20. On England's 2002/03 tour of Autralia, Anderson was drafted into the squad from the England A team due to an injury crisis. When he played his first ODI he had only played five senior one day matches. Anderson went on to feature in the 2003 ICC World Cup and made his Test match debut against Zimbabwe at Lords 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 features regularly in England's Test squad. He is a regular strike bowler in England's one day team.

[edit] Early and personal life

James Anderson's 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.[2]

Just months after his international debut he had become one of the biggest stars in English cricket. Continued alteration of hair styles, attractive looks, and up-to-the-minute outfits earned him comparisons with some of the most recognisable sport personalities around, including David Beckham.[2]

In 2006 he married his model fiancée Daniella Lloyd, whom he had met in 2004 while on England duty in London; he stated that marriage has made him "a much happier person".[3] The service was at a church in Hale, with the reception at the Lowry Hotel in Salford. Guests included Andrew Flintoff, Paul Collingwood, Geraint Jones, Chris Read and Gareth Batty, along with some of Anderson's Lancashire team-mates, attended.[4]

[edit] Domestic career

Anderson made his first class debut for Lancashire in 2002; he played 13 matches and took 50 wickets at an average of 22.28, including three five wicket hauls.[5] He was awarded the NBC Denis Compton Award for Lancashiret's most promising young county player in the 2002 season.[1]

In 2003, Anderson became the youngest player to take a hat trick for Lancashire, just a week before his Test match debut against Zimbabwe; it was the first hat trick at Old Trafford in eight years.[6]

In a match against Worcestershire in May 2004, Anderson recorded his maiden first class ten wicket haul.[7]

2005 was Anderson's first full season for Lancashire. He had been propelled into the England side soon after his Lancashire debut and had returned to rediscover his form after winter tours with England where he had spent the majority of his time on the sidelines, and when given a chance for England he often bowled poorly due to a lack of match practice.[8] He finished the season with 60 first class wickets at an average of 30.21 and 27 one day wickets at an average of 22.00.[5][9]

Anderson was prevented from playing much for Lancashire in the 2006 season by a stress fracture of the back sustained in early May.[10] He played in only two matches for Lancashire, and at one point it had been considered sending Anderson to play for Glamorgan to prove his fitness; however, Lancashire decided they would rather have Anderson play for them if only in a limited capacity.[11] In the only first class match he played for Lancashire that season, he was limited to three four overs spells by the ECB who were wary of injuring him again.[12]

[edit] International career

[edit] Under Fletcher

[edit] Early success

When Anderson was selected for the England one day squad, he had played only five list A matches, taking 9 wickets at an average of 26.75.[13] At the age of 20, he made his ODI debut on December 15, 2002 against Australia at Melbourne. He opened the bowling and recorded figures of 1/46 from six overs.[14] He debut came before he was even awarded his county cap, which occurred in 2003.[15] He showed good promise in this series - a three-team tournament also including Sri Lanka - which earned him a place in the 2003 World Cup squad. It was here that he really broke into international cricket with a match-winning spell against Pakistan, where he took four wickets in day/night game to collect the Man of the Match award. But where there are highs, there are also lows. In what proved to be England’s last match of the tournament he conceded 12 runs off the penultimate over against eventual world champions Australia and England lost a closely fought contest.

In the summer of 2003, he made his first Test cricket appearance against Zimbabwe at Lord's, and become the 17th Englishman to collect five wickets in an innings on debut. His success continued in the subsequent one day tournaments against Pakistan, (against whom he took a hat trick at The Oval), South Africa and Zimbabwe.

The Test series against South Africa dented Anderson's reputation as England's "golden boy";[16] in a series England drew 2-2 after coming from behind Anderson finished the five match series with 15 wickets at an average of 39.86.[17] His best figures of 5/102 came at Trent Bridge in the third Test where he used movement of the seam to claim his second five wicket haul in his fifth test.[18] Although Anderson was England's lead wicket taker,[19] Graeme Smith – the South African captain – particularly punished Anderson's bowling, taking 157 runs at a strike rate of 90.23 off his bowling in the series and only being dismissed once.[20] In August, despite a mixed series against South Africa, Anderson was named Young Cricketer of the Year; he became the first player to be unanimously voted the award.[21] In September, Anderson was awarded a central contract with the ECB.[22] He suffered from a niggling knee injury and fatigue as the season wore on;[23] the knee injury – to a tendon on the outside of his left knee – meant he was rested for the winter tour of Bangladesh.[24] After the South Africa series and some good performances by other bowlers during the Bangladesh tour, Anderson admitted that he was no longer an automatic choice for England.[23]

Anderson has an unusual bowling action, at the moment of delivery he has his head down, eyes closed and doesn't look where he is bowling; he attempted to bowl with his head up but found that he lost pace in doing so, so reverted to his original action.[2] In 2003, ex-England pace bowler Bob Willis claimed that Anderson would only be able to play for five years with his action.[2] Between 2004 and 2005, the England coaching staff attempted to alter Anderson's bowling action.[25] Anderson was selected in the one-day and Test squads for the winter tour Sri Lanka, but injuries left him able to play in only 1 of the 3 Tests on that tour. He bowled well below his potential to collect figures of 0-85 in his sole appearance.

[edit] Slow decline

Although fit and included in both the Test and one day squads for the tour of the West Indies,[26] Anderson did not play in the Test series, having been superceded by players such as James Kirtley.[27] He did feature in a handful of the one day matches however, but did not do anything like his previous heroics. He still managed to retain his place in the Test squad, and his next big break came when an injury to Jones forced the Welshman out of the last 3 Tests of the 2004 summer series against the West Indies. Despite being in the eleven, Anderson hardly got enough overs, and barely took wickets. It was clear now that Anderson had now not only lost all his form and rhythm, but consequentially all his confidence as well. Perhaps that is why even despite his four-wicket-haul in the final Test of the summer, in which England had won all 7 Tests they played, he had not silenced all his critics, and his body language displayed a man devoid of confidence.

Despite poor performances, he again got selected for the winter tour to Zimbabwe and South Africa. Much of the post-season talk, however, was dominated by the "to go or not to go" Zimbabwe controversy. England eventually did end up in Harare, after a brief stop over in Namibia. Anderson once again struggled in his three one-day appearance. The England management, however, continued to show faith in his ability.

[edit] 2005 - back to basics

Travelling as a barely used reserve on the winter South Africa tour while seemingly struggling for form, Anderson was given another shot at redemption, after Simon Jones was dropped for the 3rd Test after a poor performance in the second. Anderson, though, did even worse than Jones, collecting figures of 2/117 and 0/32 in his two innings. Anderson spent the summer with Lancashire; bowling regularly a quota of overs one would associate with a new ball bowler, something he had not done enough in his England stint. He was recalled to the England squad for the last match of the 2005 Ashes series, once again as a replacement for the injured Jones, but all-rounder Paul Collingwood was selected for the team.

Anderson was selected in the Test squad for the tour of Pakistan, but spinner Shaun Udal was chosen to fill the bowlers spot left empty by the still injured Simon Jones. When Ashley Giles had to miss the 3rd Test due to injury, young Durham debutant seamer Liam Plunkett was chosen ahead of Anderson. Despite this disappointment he played in all five of England's one day games in Pakistan, showing improvements in form to be England's joint-leading wicket taker in the series.

[edit] Return from injury

Not selected for the senior side's tour to India, Anderson was selected for England A's tour of the West Indies.

In February, days before the start of the first A-Test between England and the West Indies, James Anderson (along with Alastair Cook and Owais Shah) was called up as an injury reinforcement to the England senior squad in India, after captain Michael Vaughan and fast bowler Simon Jones flew home with knee injuries and vice captain Marcus Trescothick departed for undisclosed "personal" reasons. After an unconvincing display by Liam Plunkett in the 2nd Test in Mohali Anderson was recalled for the final match of the series. He impressed in England's victory, taking figures of 4-40 in the first innings.

After his impressive display in the final match in India, Anderson looked likely to feature as one of England's main bowlers in both the ODI series and Test matches against Pakistan and Sri Lanka; however an early season stress fracture of the back ruled Anderson out for all of the summer internationals and all but two matches of his county season.[10] Lancashire team mate Sajid Mahmood was called up to the England squad the replacement for Anderson.[28]

Anderson was named in England's Champions Trophy and Ashes squads in September although at that point he hadn't played any first class cricket in six months.[29] He was straight back into England colours for the 0-5 Ashes whitewash against Australia. His performance, like much of the England team, was well below standard. Anderson was sent home mid way through the one day tournament with Australia and New Zealand as a precaution when he felt a twinge in his back;[30] during the tournament he had begun to regain some of his form and in the four matches he played he took 8 wickets at an average of 20.62.[31][32]

[edit] 2007 World Cup

Anderson kept his place in the One-Day team after the previous Asian series' and after the end of the victorious ODI series in Australia, Anderson had cemented his place in the 2007 Cricket World Cup England squad. However, on 14 March 2007, only days before England's first game, it was reported by the BBC that Anderson had broken his finger and his involvement in the tournament was in question, although he was able to play against the pain.

[edit] Under Moores

[edit] Replacing the old guard

When Peter Moores replaced Duncan Fletcher as England coach after the World Cup, it was felt that Anderson would benefit under new management; along with the rest of the England team he was allowed to play more for his county. It was felt that it was not beneficial for players who were not representing England to just sit on the sideline and match practice would allow him to rediscover his form.[33]

Anderson played in all three Tests of the series with India, coming into the side for the injured Matthew Hoggard and leading a pace attack comprising himself, Ryan Sidebottom, and Chris Tremlett with only 20 caps between them.[34] He became the first England bowler to dismiss Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, and Sourav Ganguly in the same innings.[34] Although England lost the series, Anderson demonstrated greater consistency than before and managed 14 wickets, at 35.57 and getting the Man of the Series award.[35] He also managed to get his name on the honours board at Lords for the second time with his best Test figures of 5/42.[36] The ODI series which followed was England's first ODI series win at home in three years. Anderson was the leading wicket taker on either side with 14 wickets at an average of 22.57.[37] Anderson was also included for the England squad for the ICC World Twenty20 replacing an injured Ravi Bopara.[38] Following a successful summer, he was one of twelve players awarded a central contract for 2007/2008 by the ECB.[39]

Anderson was part of the squad which toured Sri Lanka in the winter. The one day side completed their first ever series victory in Sri Lanka; Anderson's contribution was four wickets in five matches at an average of 48.25 and tying down Sri Lanka's top order along with Sidebottom and Stuart Broad, although they finished with more wickets at a lower average.[40][41] Despite suffering a bruised left ankle,[42] Anderson was selected for the first Test. Although he bowled economicly in the first innings,[43] he was expensive in the second; during the course of the second innings he become only the second bowler in Test cricket to have six boundaries taken off a single over.[44] He finished the match with figures of 15.4-3-39-1 and 23-4-128-1.[45] Anderson was dropped for the final two Tests and replaced by debutant Stuart Broad.

[edit] New Zealand

In the Spring of 2008, Anderson toured New Zealand with England. He played in the Twenty20 series, which England won 2-0, and he was then involved in the One Day series which New Zealand won 3-2. Although he played in all five matches of the one day series, he struggled and only managed four wickets at an average of 67.50.[46] In an effort to regain some form, Anderson was allowed to join Auckland Cricket Club, who were lacking their strike bowlers as they have been called up to the New Zealand squad, as an overseas player.[47] The move was controversial with critics including Gavin Larsen, Wellington Cricket Club's chief executive, who feared that Anderson would be able to bowl himself into form.[48] Although he was left out for the first Test, Anderson was recalled for the second when he and Stuart Broad replaced the out of form Steve Harmison and Matthew Hoggard after England were defeated by 189 runs; the decision to axe both bowlers was heralded as the end of an era in English cricket.[49] Anderson's selection was a surprise as it had been expected that Broad would replace Harmison, but not that Hoggard would be dropped.[50] In the first innings of the second Test, Anderson took 5/73 and finished with match figures of 7/130 and helped England to a 126 run victory.[51] He sustained an ankle injury while playing football before the third Test but recovered in time to be selected. Anderson's performance in the final Test was less effective,[52] recording match figures of 1/153 as England won the match by 121 runs and the series 2-1.[53] Searching for consistency, Anderson's action has reverted to the one he used in 2003, one he feels comfortable with.[25]

He was retained for the home series, when New Zealand toured England later in 2008. He continued to enjoy success against the touring side, taking 19 wickets at 19.31 and finishing as the leading wicket taker of the series.[54] Anderson bowled well in the first Test, recording match figures of 130/5 as the match was drawn.[55] In the second Test, Anderson finished with match figures of 5/139 as England won by six wickets; on the first day he struck New Zealand batsman Daniel Flynn in the face, knocking a tooth, in a spell of short, aggressive bowling when he also hit Jacob Oram on the helmet.[56] Anderson was disconcerted by injuring Flynn said that striking him "wasn't pleasant".[57] In the final match of the series Anderson scored a Test best of 28 in a partnership of 76 with Stuart Broad.[58] This was followed up by career best bowling of 7/43 in the first innings and Test best match figures of 9/98 overall as he won the man of the match award and England secured an innings and nine run victory and a 2-0 series win.[59] Anderson's performance in the series prompted England bowling coach Ottis Gibson to say that Anderson has the potential to become a world class bowler if he can improve his self-belief.[60]
