The first match of the three-match Test series between England and West Indies has started today on 10 July at the historic Lord’s ground. Let us tell you that this match is going to be the last match of the cricket career of James Anderson, one of the best fast bowlers in the world. So, now there is hardly any bowler who will be able to match Anderson’s cricket career which has lasted for more than 2 decades.

The retirement of Anderson, who made his England cricket team debut in 2002, marks the end of an era in English cricket. Anderson has closely witnessed the dominant play in Test cricket and the growth of T20 cricket.

So now before the last match of his career, James Anderson has named the best batsman he has faced in his cricket career. However, you will be surprised to know that the batsman Anderson has chosen is not Virat Kohli or Steve Smith.

According to Anderson, this player is the best batsman

Let us tell you that in an interview with Sky Sports before the first match against West Indies, Anderson said – I must say that the best batsman is Sachin Tendulkar. Along with this, he also named the bowler whom he had trouble facing. Anderson named Glenn McGrath and Dale Steyn.

On the other hand, James Anderson has played a total of 39 Test matches against India, in which he has taken 149 wickets. During this period, Anderson took Sachin Tendulkar’s wicket 9 times.
