Fast bowlers hunt in a pair. One of the most spectacular bowling pairs in modern cricket is the fabulous English duo James Anderson and Stuart Broad. Anderson is the leading wicket-taker in the history of English cricket while Broad has also crossed the mark of 400 Test wickets. Both of them have been terrorizing the batsmen, but a banter on Twitter pitted them against each other.

The spark to the cheeky conversation was provided by a Twitter user named Stephen Jones. Old Trafford cricket ground at Manchester named one of their bowling ends after James Anderson.

Referring to developments, Jones posted a question, “A question I feel needs to be answered ... does @jimmy9 bowl from the James Anderson end at Old Trafford or allow @StuartBroad8 that honour?!”

Stuart Broad was quick to reply to this in-swinging query.

The reply stirred up James Anderson and the following exchange took place.

The conversation ended with the cheeky reply from James Anderson and fittingly Jones declared him the clear winner. Perhaps, we will similar banter when the ‘Stuart Broad End’ is unveiled sometime in the future.
