#9 James Anderson and Alastair Cook – 36 (2008 - 2017)

James Anderson and Alastair Cook have formed the best bowler-fielder association for England in Tests

England’s talisman with the new as well as the old ball, James Anderson has no wonder risen to become his country’s leading wicket-taker in the longest format. Even before retiring, one of the ends at his home ground Old Trafford has been dedicated to him, and all for his accuracy to repeatedly hit the right areas.

When the ball is swinging and the track is assisting seam, few can match Anderson’s ability to move the ball around and find the edge of the bat. At the same time, securing the first slip for long has been Alastair Cook, with secure fielding behind the stumps.

The pair has aggregated 36 wickets so far, with Anderson sitting pretty at 523 wickets and Cook possessing 156 catches, and have already formed the best bowler-fielder association for England in Tests.
