context_page_description: James Michael Anderson, OBE, is an English international cricketer who plays for Lancashire County Cricket Club and the England cricket team. Anderson is the all-time leading wicket-taker among fast bowlers and holds the record of most wickets for England in both Test and One-Day International cricket. He is the first fast bowler as well as the first English bowler, and the fourth overall, to pass 600 Test wickets.
  A right-arm pace bowler, Anderson arrived on the international scene in 2002/03 and has played for England in more than 150 Test matches and nearly 200 One Day Internationals. Injuries, including a stress fracture of the back which kept him out of action for most of the 2006 season, limited his appearances in his early career, but he has since become established as the key opening bowler in England's Test team. He was a regular strike bowler in England's one-day team but has not played in that format since the 2015 World Cup.
  Anderson was the first English bowler to reach 400, 500 and 600 wickets in Test matches. As of August 2020 he is ranked 8th in the ICC Test Bowling Rankings, having previously reached the top position at various times between 2016 and 2018.
