10 best players of all time from Lancashire

4. James Anderson

Anderson is England's leading wicket-taker in both Tests and ODIs

James Anderson is one of England's finest Test player ever with more than 500 Test wickets to his name and has been a fine servant for Lancashire as well. However, his constant presence at the international level has meant that his county side has often been robbed of his services.

Anderson made his first-class debut for Lancashire in 2002 and made an instant impact bagging NBC Denis Compton Award for Lancashire's most promising young County player at the end of the campaign, having picked up 50 wickets from 13 matches.

Known for his ability to swing the ball, Anderson has exploited the helpful English conditions to the best of his ability but also proved to be a threat overseas as well with his exceptional ball control and ability to constantly deliver in the right areas.

Lancashire honoured Anderson, who is England's leading wicket-taker in both Test and ODI cricket, by renaming the Old Trafford Pavilion End in August 2017 as the James Anderson End considering his fine performances at the domestic as well as international level.
