James Michael "Jimmy" Anderson (born 30 July 1982 in Burnley, Lancashire) is an 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 over 50 Test matches and over 100 One Day Internationals.[3]
A right arm pace bowler, Anderson made his international debut at the age of just 20. On England's 2002/03 tour of Australia, 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.
Early and personal life
James Anderson was a pupil at St Theodore's RC High School, Burnley. He 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.[4] He stated that "I've always bowled seam, but when I was about 17 I don't know what it was but I just started bowling fast all of a sudden".[4]
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.[4] In 2006, at a church in Hale, he married Daniella Lloyd, a model he met in 2004 while on England duty in London; he stated that marriage has made him "a much happier person".[5] On 8 January 2009, Daniella Lloyd gave birth to a girl called Lola Rose. His second daughter, Ruby Luxe Anderson was born on 8 December 2010.[6] Anderson became the first cricketer to model naked for Attitude, "Britain's biggest-selling gay magazine", in September 2010. He stated "If there are any gay cricketers they should feel confident enough to come out because I don't think there is any homophobia in cricket."[7]
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.[8] He was awarded the NBC Denis Compton Award for Lancashire's most promising young county player in the 2002 season.[3] 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.[9] In a match against Worcestershire in May 2004, Anderson recorded his maiden first-class ten wicket haul.[10]
2005 was Anderson's first full season for Lancashire. He was 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.[11] 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.[8][12]
Anderson was prevented from playing much for Lancashire in the 2006 season by a stress fracture of the back sustained in early May.[13] He played in only two matches for Lancashire, and at one point it was 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.[14] 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.[15]
In 2008, after the Test and one day series against South Africa ended at the beginning of September, Anderson was made unavailable to play for Lancashire for the rest of the season.[16] He finished the season with 20 first-class wickets at 7.75 for Lancashire.[8][17]
At the start of the 2009 English cricket season, Anderson took career-best match figures in a first-class match with 11/109 against Sussex as Lancashire won by 8 wickets. It was the only first-class match he played for Lancashire before being called into the England squad for a series against the West Indies.[18] As of 26 April 2009, Anderson had taken 188 wickets at 24.37 from 48 first-class matches with Lancashire,[19] and 66 wickets at 21.78 in 44 list A matches.[20]
International career
Under Fletcher
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.[21] At the age of 20, he made his ODI debut on 15 December, 2002 against Australia at Melbourne. He opened the bowling and recorded figures of 1/46 from six overs.[22] He debut came before he was even awarded his county cap, which occurred in 2003.[23] 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. 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. His hat-trick against Pakistan, the first by an English bowler in an ODI, claimed the wickets of Abdul Razzaq, Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Sami.[24]
The Test series against South Africa dented Anderson's reputation as England's golden boy;[25] 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.[26] 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.[27] Although Anderson was England's lead wicket taker,[28] 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.[29] 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.[30] In September, Anderson was awarded a central contract with the ECB.[31] He suffered from a niggling knee injury and fatigue as the season wore on;[32] the knee injury – to a tendon on the outside of his left knee – meant he was rested for the winter tour of Bangladesh.[33] 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.[32]
Anderson has an unusual bowling action, at the moment of delivery he has his head down, eyes closed and does not 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.[4] In 2003, ex-England pace bowler Bob Willis claimed that Anderson would only be able to play for five years with his action.[4] Between 2004 and 2005, the England coaching staff attempted to alter Anderson's bowling action.[34] 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.
Slow decline
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/49/James_Anderson_bowl.jpg/200px-James_Anderson_bowl.jpg)
Although fit and included in both the Test and one day squads for the tour of the West Indies,[35] Anderson did not play in the Test series, having been superseded by players such as James Kirtley.[36] He did feature in the ODI series which England drew 2-2, playing in 4 matches and taking 4 wickets at an average of 37.00;[37] in the final match of the series, Anderson took his 50th ODI wicket, that of Chris Gayle for 41.[38] After the ODI series against the West Indies, Anderson had 50 wickets from 31 ODIs at an average of 23.78.[39]
Anderson retained his place in the Test squad, and his next big break came when an injury to Simon Jones forced the Welshman out of the last three Tests of the 2004 summer series against the West Indies. Despite being in the team, Anderson's bowling was used infrequently. It was clear now that Anderson had now not only lost all his form and rhythm, but consequentially all his confidence as well. A performance by a resurgent Anderson in the final Test of the summer prompted speculation that he had regained his confidence and would return to the top of his game.[40] He was selected for the winter tour to Zimbabwe and South Africa. Much of the post-season talk, however, was dominated by the debate over whether to go on tour to Zimbabwe. England eventually did end up in Harare, after a brief stop over in Namibia. Anderson once again struggled in his three one-day appearances. The England management, however, continued to show faith in his ability.
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 third 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 following 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 after taking 60 wickets for Lancashire in 2005, once again as a replacement for the injured Jones, but all-rounder Paul Collingwood was selected for the team.[41]
Anderson was selected in the Test squad for the tour of Pakistan, but spinner Shaun Udal was chosen to fill the bowler's spot left empty by the still injured Simon Jones. When Ashley Giles had to miss the third Test due to injury, young Durham debutant seamer Liam Plunkett was chosen ahead of Anderson and Anderson did not play a single Test on the tour.[42] 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 with Andrew Flintoff, taking 7 wickets at 25.57.[43]
Injury and return
Anderson was not selected for the senior side's tour to India in January 2006 as Simon Jones returned from injury and was chosen ahead of him.[44] Instead, Anderson was selected for England A's tour of the West Indies.[45] In February, days before the start of the first A-Test between England and the West Indies, James Anderson (along with batsmen 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.[46] After an unconvincing display by Liam Plunkett in the second 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.[47]
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.[13] Lancashire team mate Sajid Mahmood was called up to the England squad the replacement for Anderson.[48]
Anderson was named in England's Champions Trophy and Ashes squads in September 2006 although at that point he had not played any first-class cricket in six months.[49] 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;[50] 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.[51][52]
2007 World Cup
Although Anderson was returned home early from the England's victorious ODI series in Australia, Anderson was selected in England's squad for the 2007 Cricket World Cup. He recovered from his back injury and was expected to play ahead of the like of Liam Plunkett, Sajid Mahmood and Jon Lewis. However, on 14 March 2007, only days before England's first game, it was reported by the BBC that Anderson had broken his finger during fielding practice and his involvement in the tournament was in question, although he was able to play against the pain.[53]
Under Moores
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.[54] Anderson did not feature in the Test series against the West Indies, but he did play in the ODI series. During the second ODI, he clashed with Runako Morton when he appeared to get in the way of Morton when the batsman was running between the wickets. Anderson was fined half of his match fee for the incident and match referee Mike Procter stated "James Anderson is not a player with a reputation for bad behaviour...and I am sure he will do everything he can to ensure there is no repeat of this unfortunate incident".[55] Anderson finished the series with five wickets at 30.40 as England lost the series 2-1.[56]
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.[57] In the first Test of the series, Anderson claimed his 50th Test wicket when he dismissed Mahendra Singh Dhoni for 0;[58] the feat was achieved in Anderson's 17th Test match and after the match he had 53 wickets at an average of 35.67.[59] He became the first England bowler to dismiss Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, and Sourav Ganguly in the same innings.[57] 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.[60] 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.[61] 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.[62] In the first ODI of the series, Anderson claimed his 100th ODI wicket when he dismissed Gautam Gambhir for 3;[63] after the match, he had taken 103 wickets from 70 matches at an average of 27.02.[39] Anderson was also included for the England squad for the World Twenty20, held in September 2007, replacing an injured Ravi Bopara.[64] He played in all four of England's matches, taking three wickets at 34.00, as England failed to progress beyond the second stage of the competition.[65] Following a successful summer, he was one of twelve players awarded a central contract for 2007/2008 by the ECB.[66]
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.[67][68] Despite suffering a bruised left ankle,[69] Anderson was selected for the first Test. Although he bowled economicly in the first innings,[70] 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.[71] He finished the match with figures of two wickets for 167 runs[72] and was dropped for the final two Tests; his replacement was debutant Stuart Broad.
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.[73] In an effort to regain some form, Anderson was allowed to join Auckland Cricket Club, who were lacking their strike bowlers due to international call ups, as an overseas player.[74] 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.[75] 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.[76] Anderson's selection was a surprise as it was expected that Broad would replace Harmison, but not that Hoggard would be dropped.[77] 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.[78] 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,[79] recording match figures of 1/153 as England won the match by 121 runs and the series 2-1.[80] Searching for consistency, Anderson's action reverted to the action he used in 2003, one with which he felt comfortable.[34]
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/Anderson_bowls_against_New_Zealand%2C_cropped.jpg/220px-Anderson_bowls_against_New_Zealand%2C_cropped.jpg)
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. This was his highest return of wickets in a series.[81] Anderson bowled well in the first Test, recording match figures of 130/5 as the match was drawn.[82] 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.[83] Anderson was disconcerted by injuring Flynn said that striking him "wasn't pleasant".[84] In the final match of the series Anderson scored a Test best of 28 in a partnership of 76 with Stuart Broad.[85] 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.[86] 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.[87] In the one day series that followed Anderson managed five wickets from five matches at an average of 41.40 as England lost the series 3-1.[88]
After the Test series against New Zealand, Anderson's figures revealed that he struggled to bowl to left-handed batsmen and the his contrasting fortunes between the start of his career and his resurgence. By the end of June 2008, Anderson had played 25 Test matches; in the 16 Tests before July 2007 he took 46 wickets at an average of 38.39, but since then in 9 Test he took 43 wickets at 30.58 at a much lower strike rate.[89] In the five Tests Anderson played against New Zealand in a four month period, 22 of the 27 wickets he managed were against right-handed batsmen. Against the right-handers he averaged 20.77 compared to 38.60 against left-handers.[89] This was an improvement however on his career statistics, since he averaged 70 wickets at 29.11 against right-handers and 19 at 54.94 against left-handers. This first became clear in the 2003 Test series against South Africa when Graeme Smith and Gary Kirsten milked him for 276 runs while only being dismissed once between them.[89]
South Africa
Anderson's batting showed a marked improvement in the summer's home Test series against South Africa. In the second innings of the second Test, at Headingley, Anderson scored a Test best 34 runs, having come to the crease as a nightwatchman late on day 3. In the course of his innings he was struck on the wrist and then on the grille of his helmet by Dale Steyn.[90]
In the final match of the series, Anderson took his 100th Test wicket. The landmark wicket was that of Jacques Kallis leg before wicket for 2;[91] this feat was achieved in Anderson's 29th Test and after the match he had 104 wickets at an average of 34.51.[59]
India
England's one day series in India was cut short due to terror attacks in Mumbai. 7 matches were due to be played, but due to the attacks England flew home early, after five games. They were 5-0 down in the series and Anderson had not taken one wicket, despite bowling in every one of the five games.
Under Flower
West Indies tour
Following the sacking of Peter Moores in January 2009,[92] and the replacement of Kevin Pietersen by Andrew Strauss as England captain,[93] England left for a tour to the West Indies.
Following two low-key performances in the warm up matches against a St. Kitts XI[94] and West Indies A,[95] Anderson was dropped for the first test in Jamaica. Surprisingly, the West Indies inflicted a large defeat on England, following a third innings batting collapse. With the form of Ryan Sidebottom a cause for concern, and some doubts over his fitness, Anderson was recalled for the second test at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. However, this match was abandoned with fewer than two overs bowled due to a poor outfield.[96] The Test match was rearranged to take place two days later at the Antigua Recreation Ground. After making 4 as a night-watchman during England's first innings, Anderson bowled 19 wicketless overs as the West Indies were bowled out for 285, although he did take the catch of Chris Gayle off Steve Harmison.[97] After making 20, again as night-watchman, in the second batting innings, England fell one wicket short of bowling the West Indies out and securing a test victory as the tail-enders of Daren Powell and Fidel Edwards survived 10 overs to bat out the draw.[98]
After sitting out the tour match against the BCA President's XI in Barbados, England and the West Indies played the fourth test at the Kensington Oval. Both sides found bowling difficult on a very flat track, and the first two innings produced 1,349 runs for the loss of just 15 wickets. England batted first and made 600/6 declared, and Anderson again opened the bowling in the West Indies reply. After striking early to dismiss Chris Gayle LBW on a referral,[99] he also dismissed Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Sulieman Benn, finishing with 3 for 125 from 37 overs. With England batting out the match, Anderson did not feature again as the Test match was drawn.[100] With England still 1-0 down in a series they were expected by many to win comfortably, victory was needed in the fifth and final test at Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad. After England made 546/6 declared, Anderson again struggled as the West Indies were bowled out for 544, a deficit of 2 runs, with Anderson picking up the wicket of wicket-keeper Dinesh Ramdin for 70 runs, with an economy of just 2.18, one of his best in Test cricket.[101] With England setting the West Indies a target of 240 runs to win, Anderson had arguably his best innings of the tour. After dismissing opener Lendl Simmons, Anderson bowled 16 overs of reverse swing, picking up two more wickets as again England fell just short of victory, this time by two wickets.
With the test series lost, England were keen to regain some honour in the T20 and ODIs which remained. After taking 3 for 48 in 8 overs in a warm-up match against the WIPA President's Select XI,[102] Anderson led the England attack in the T20 international. Despite finishing with decent figures of 1-19 in 3 overs,[103] England were beaten soundly.[104] The first One Day International, however, saw England inflict their first defeat on the West Indies on the tour. After posting 270 for 7 in their 50 overs,[105] Rain interrupted the West Indies reply, leading to the result being decided on the Duckworth–Lewis method. With the light fading, Anderson succeeded in having Kieron Pollard caught on the boundary by Steve Harmison. Due to the intricacies of the D/L, this wicket ensured England won the match by a single run.[106]
In the next two ODIs, England suffered two more defeats, with Anderson taking 3 for 37 from 9 overs in the second ODI, as well as making 8 with the bat,[107] and went on to take 1 for 39 from 5 overs and 0 not out[108] as England fell 2-1 behind in the five-match series. England therefore needed to win the fourth ODI in Barbados in order to keep the series alive. Bowling first, England restricted the West Indies to 239/9 in their 50 overs, with Anderson himself taking the wicket of Fidel Edwards to finish with figures of 1 for 41 with 1 maiden in the 10 he bowled. Duckworth-Lewis again helped England as they chased down 136 in 18 overs to win by nine wickets.[109] Thus, the series was tied at 2-2 going into the final match in St. Lucia. The West Indies won the toss and elected to bowl first, with England able to post 172/5 in 29 overs (the innings shortened by rain). With 29 overs to chase 173 for victory, the West Indies lost Gayle to Anderson in the first over with the score at 1/1, Anderson going on to add the wicket of Kieron Pollard as he finished with match figures of 2/34 from 6 overs as England won the match by 26 runs, with Anderson's Lancashire team-mate Andrew Flintoff taking a hat-trick.
Anderson finished the tour with 9 wickets at an average of 38.00 from the Test series, with an economy of 2.65 runs per over and both innings and match best figures coming in the fifth test at Trinidad,[110] as well as amassing 24 runs at an average of 12.00, with a high-score of 20.[111] In the ODIs, Anderson took 9 wickets at 21.11 and an economy of 5.00 runs per over[112] and 8 runs at an equivalent average.[113] He also rejected offers to play in the IPL due to wanting to commit to a bright future for England over the following summer.
West Indies in England 2009
The Wisden Trophy was up for grabs again a few months later when the West Indies filled in for Zimbabwe, who were still excluded from participating in Test match cricket by the ICC (although originally the tour had been scheduled to be played by Sri Lanka, who pulled out to allow their players to play in the IPL), in a two-test and three ODI tour. Anderson was selected after a bright start to the season with Lancashire, which included figures of 11-109 in a match against Sussex at Hove.[114]
The first test was held at Lord's, beginning on the 6th May 2010. Anderson was not involved directly until the second day, with England batting first, but made only a single in a 19 ball innings. With the wicket showing a green tinge and some cloud cover, Anderson was expected to excel. However he struggled to find his length during the first innings and finished wicketless from seven overs having conceded 32.[115] An improvement in the second innings saw him take the first two wickets of the follow-on, including that of the West Indies captain Chris Gayle, and finishing with figures of 2-38 from 15 overs and match figures of 2-70 as England won by ten wickets.
From Lord's, the teams moved to Chester-le-Street for the second and final Test of the series. England again won the toss and chose to bat, and proceeded to dominate the West Indies bowling attack, amassing 569-6 declared. Anderson was sent in at the end of the first day in his role as night-watchman to protect Pietersen. Batting with Alastair Cook, they put on a partnership of 44, Anderson hitting 14 of them to continue his run of innings without a duck in Test cricket. Later on day three, he was given the ball as England set out to take 20 West Indian wickets and secure the match. Anderson found some significant swing in the cloudy conditions to be found there, and proceeded to run through the West Indies top order, taking all of the first three wickets (including Gayle again) leaving the West Indies on 68/3.[116] Two late strikes secured Anderson a five-wicket haul, his first in 19 innings since his 7 wicket haul against New Zealand at Trent Bridge the previous summer.[117] Anderson went on to take 4 further wickets after the West Indies were asked to follow on (for the second time in the series) and England went on to win by an innings and 83 runs. With nine wickets in the match for 125 runs, Anderson was named the Man of the Match,[118] only the second time in his career he had achieved this in a Test match.
The first match of the following ODI series at Headingly was abandoned due to heavy rain, leaving two one day matches to be played. Anderson was selected for the England squad for the series, and was selected for both matches. In the first match at Bristol, he bowled six overs for nineteen, with one maiden, but finished wicketless as the West Indies were skittled for 160.[119] England went on to win the match by six wickets, meaning Anderson was not called on to bat. Neither was he called on to bat in the last match of the tour as England scored 328/7 from their 50 overs. Although Anderson went at a run a ball in reply, conceding 58 from 9.4 overs, he took three wickets including the last of the match (that of Sulieman Benn) as the West Indies fell 58 runs short, sealing a 2-0 victory for England in both the test and ODI series.
