Does James Anderson drink Alcohol?: Yes
As a child, he was obsessed with tennis. But, as years passed on, Anderson developed an inclination towards Cricket.
With just 5 List-A matches, Anderson was selected for the England’s ODI squad, even before he was awarded his County Cap.
Anderson, in 2003, became the 42nd Englishman to get a 5 wicket haul on debut.
James, once defended Michael Clarke after the latter was fined 20% of the match fee for using some harsh words which were then picked up by the Stump’s Microphone.
In 2010, Anderson became the first cricketer to model naked for Britain’s highest selling gay magazine “Attitude”.
His cricket themed radio show “Not just cricket” on BBC Radio 5 Live was nominated for Best Sports Programme at the 2013 Radio Academy Awards.
Apart from being a right hand medium fast bowler, Anderson fancies himself as a left hand spin bowler. He once dismissed Ian Bell in an exhibition match with his left arm spin bowling.
On day five of the final Test against Pakistan on 25 August 2020, he became the fastest bowler, and the first seamer to take 600 Test wickets, with this feat, he became the fourth bowler to join the prestigious 600 club – only after Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan (800), Australia’s Shane Warne (708), and India’s Anil Kumble (619).
