James Anderson (cricketer)

Cricket, England and Lancashire. Anderson played Test cricket from 2003 to 2024 and took 704 wickets, the most by any fast bowler. Early in his career England coaches tried to remodel his action, which led to a stress fracture; he went back to his natural action, then added reverse swing and the wobble-seam delivery, which kept him effective on flat pitches and abroad well into his late thirties and beyond.
