5 players with most wickets in NZ-ENG Tests

#4 James Anderson

James Anderson has the ability to hit the right lengths consistently and swing the ball

As far as swing bowlers are concerned, there have not been many who have been as good as England’s spearhead James Anderson over the last decade or so. Hence is not a surprise that he is one of the most successful bowlers in Test series between these two countries.

Like Broad, Anderson has also played in 13 Test matches against New Zealand in his illustrious career so far and at the time of writing, he has picked up 54 wickets in those games. His ability to hit the right lengths consistently and swinging the ball has made him a trump card for England against many oppositions and New Zealand is no exception. He has an average of 26.70 and has a strike rate of 47.3.
