Early and personal life of James Anderson:
James Anderson went to St. Mary’s and St. Theodore’s RC High School in Burnley as a student. From a young age, he played cricket at the Burnley Cricket Club. As a kid, he wanted to be a cricket player, and after a growth spurt at age 17, he was one of the fastest bowlers in the Lancashire League. He said, “I’ve always bowled seam, but when I was 17, I don’t know what happened. But all of a sudden I started bowling fast”. He is a big football fan who cheers for Burnley, the team that plays near his home.
Just a few months after his first game, he became one of the most famous players in English cricket. Because his hairstyles, looks, and clothes were always changing, he was compared to David Beckham and other well-known athletes. In 2004, while on England service in London, he met Daniella Lloyd, a model, and they got married in 2006. He said that marriage has made him “a much happier person.”
Domestic career of James Anderson:
Anderson played his first real game for the Lancashire Cricket Board in a List A one-day match against Suffolk in the NatWest Trophy in 2000. He got Russell Catley out, which was his first wicket in a real game. Later, in 2002, Anderson made his first-class debut for Lancashire. He played in 13 games and took 50 wickets, averaging 22.28, with three five-wicket hauls. In May 2002, he got his first first-class wicket when he got Ian Ward out.
Anderson’s first full season with Lancashire was in 2005. Soon after his Lancashire start, he was called up to the England team. During England’s winter tours, he spent most of his time on the sidelines, so when he did get a chance to bowl for England, he often did a bad job because he hadn’t had enough practice. In 2008, Anderson couldn’t play for Lancashire for the rest of the season after the Test and One-Day series against South Africa finished at the beginning of September. At the end of the first-class season, he had 20 wickets at 7.75 for Lancashire. At the start of the 2009 English cricket season, Anderson got 11 wickets and 109 runs against Sussex in a first-class match, helping Lancashire win by 8 wickets. This was the best match performance of his career.
International career of James Anderson:
Anderson was named for the England one-day team after five List A matches, taking 23 wickets at 26.75. On 15 December 2002, he made his ODI debut against Australia in Melbourne at 20. He opened and bowled 1/46 in six overs. He became the 42nd Englishman to take five wickets in an innings on Test debut against Zimbabwe at Lord’s in 2003. In the One-Day competitions against Pakistan, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, he continued his success. Anderson was fit and included in both the Test and one-day squads for the West Indies tour. But he was replaced by James Kirtley. In the final match of the ODI series, Anderson took his 50th ODI wicket, Chris Gayle, for 41.
Simon Jones recovered from injury and replaced Anderson on the senior team’s January 2006 tour to India. Instead, Anderson joined England a’s West Indies trip. After the World Cup, Anderson and the rest of the England team were allowed to play more. Anderson healed in time for the Pakistan Test series. As Pakistan was dismissed for 523 in the first Test, Anderson bowled economically with 2–42.
Anderson, Stuart Broad, Trent Boult, and Tim Southee became the third quartet of opening bowlers to take all 20 wickets in each team’s first innings in a Test match (and the first since 1912) in the second Test against New Zealand in 2018. James was one of 55 players named to practice ahead to international matches in England after the COVID-19 pandemic on 29 May 2020. Anderson joined England’s 30-man team for private preparation for the Test series against the West Indies on 17 June 2020. Anderson played two of the three Tests in England’s home series against New Zealand in May, taking 11 wickets at 18.63.

He was given the Freedom of the Borough of Burnley on December 8, 2011. Anderson was named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) “for services to cricket” in the 2015 Queen’s Birthday Honors. On February 11, 2016, he went to Buckingham Palace to get his OBE.
