Most handsome cricketers XI of all time

#10 James Anderson

The leading wicket-taker for England in Tests

Arguably the greatest fast bowler England has produced, James Anderson has been a revelation for the England team ever since making his debut. He is also one of the most attractive cricketers around and is known to be a popular figure among girls.

Anderson has the uncanny ability to swing the ball both ways and is also one of the best exponents of reverse swing. He is also the brand ambassador of Brut Sports Style and Wellman’s No. 1 Vitamin for Men.

During the initial six years of his career, the best way to sum up his bowling was that when he was good he was too good but when he was bad he was horrible. But with time he matured and became the most important bowler for England. He isn’t a part of the current English ODI setup and last played for England in coloured clothing back in 2015.

Anderson is the highest wicket-taker for England in Tests with 463 scalps to his name in 117 Tests. He also has 269 wickets in his kitty in 194 ODIs.

A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.

Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman. He has also translated a couple of Bengali cricket books, and made Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-match videos.
