Born on July 30, 1982, in Burnley, England, James Michael Anderson emerged as one of the most prolific fast bowlers in the history of cricket. From a young age, he showcased a natural affinity for the sport, quickly rising through the ranks of local clubs before making his mark on the international stage.
Anderson made his debut for England in One-Day Internationals (ODIs) in 2002, establishing himself as a formidable right-arm fast-medium bowler. His journey in Test cricket began a year later, in 2003, and he quickly became known for his remarkable ability to swing the ball both ways. Over the years, his consistency and skill earned him recognition as one of the greatest bowlers of all time.
