One of the greatest fastest bowlers to play for England, Anderson has played 188 Tests, 194 ODIs and 19 T20Is for the Three Lions taking 990 wickets across formats.

He is just behind legends like Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne in the list of leading wicket-takers of all time across all formats. He is also just second in the list of playing most Test matches in a career.
