Australians first laid eyes on a peroxide-tipped Jimmy Anderson more than two decades ago. As he prepares for his farewell from the Test arena, we look back at some of the pace ace’s finest moments.
More than 20 years ago, Australian cricket fans got their first look at a peroxide-tipped James Anderson at the MCG. He went for eight an over in a one-day international infamous for Shane Warne’s shoulder injury and the diuretics scandal that followed.
Brad Haddin and James Pattinson nearly got them home, with 65 for the last wicket, before Anderson knocked Haddin over for a tense 14-run victory, and an eventual 3-0 series win.Anderson’s Test career began with a five-wicket haul against Zimbabwe as a 21-year-old in 2003. But his first five years in Tests were littered with blown-out figures. Six months before this home series against New Zealand, he was dropped from the England side.
Anderson toiled without pause against a line-up of Sehwag, Pujara, Tendulkar and Kohli, finding reverse swing and persistently challenging the locals with three wickets in each innings.
