James Michael "Jimmy" Anderson, OBE (born 30 July 1982) is an English cricketer who plays for Lancashire and the England cricket team.

Anderson plays first-class cricket for Lancashire and since arriving on the international scene in 2002/03 (before his first full season of County cricket) has represented England in 100 Test matches and nearly 200 One Day Internationals. He is England's all-time highest international wicket-taker when combined across all three formats, being the country's leading wicket taker in Test match and One-Day cricket. He and Joe Root posted the highest ever 10th-wicket batting partnership in the 1st Test of India's 2014 tour of England.

A right-arm pace bowler, Anderson made his international debut at the age of just 20, on England's 2002/03 tour of Australia. 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 Lord's 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 and is a regular strike bowler in England's One-Day team. He is the first English bowler to reach a 400 wicket-haul in International Test Cricket, and is currently the 6th highest Test wicket-taker of all time. He has been recently ranked No.1 in the ICC Test Bowler's Rankings succeeding England's other strike bowler, Stuart Broad.
