#11 James Anderson
The list will be incomplete without mentioning the name of England's highest wicket-taker in tests, James Anderson. He is also on the verge of breaking Glenn Mcgrath's record of 563 scalps in test cricket to become highest wickets taken by a pacer in the longest format.
Anderson has been bowling as good as he has ever bowled and not only he baffles the batsman with jaffa of a delivery but he does it with an unreal consistency. The ability to swing the ball both ways resulting in top nuts of a delivery can only be credited to Anderson's mastery.
He has been sensational in the series and unsurprisingly the highest wicket taker as well with 17 wickets to his name. This says a lot about his experience as well as his fitness levels at the ripe age of 36.The 9 wicket haul at Lord's being a highlight reel of his bowling in this series.
