Though he got the better of most batsmen in the world, there are a couple of players who have troubled Anderson the most.

Anderson has come out on record alluding that he found South Africa's veteran batsman Hashim Amla and former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting as the most difficult batsmen he bowled to.
