#1 James Anderson / Sachin Tendulkar
Next on our list is the greatest ever, Sachin Tendulkar. Very few bowlers can claim to have been a continuous headache for Tendulkar, but England's most successful bowler James Anderson can.
Anderson is the first English bowler to clinch 500 Test wickets. He is currently the fourth highest wicket-taker in Tests, and is at the top among all pacers, which makes him unique as pace bowling is a very exhausting task. His swing bowling, especially on home grounds, has always been problematic for most batsmen.
Anderson dismissed Tendulkar nine times in 14 matches, constantly troubling the legend with his swing and accuracy. In later years he also troubled Virat Kohli a great deal, continuing his habit of targeting the best batsman of the opposition team.
