Top 10 Unforgettable Tests of James Anderson at Old Trafford
James Anderson has put up excellent performances for England at his home ground Old Trafford.
6. India (2014)
In 2011, India toured England for a five-match Test series to clash with the Alastair Cook-led English team. After three matches, the series was level with both teams winning one game apiece. In the third Test, England vanquished the visitors by 266 runs and with this colossal triumph, the hosts were looking to continue their aggressive cricket in the fourth Test.
India skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and put his team to bat first. James Anderson, along with his bowling partner Stuart Broad, produced fire with the ball and folded India on 152. Broad took six wickets in the innings while Anderson sent three India batters Murali Vijay, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja back to the pavilion on ducks.
After dismissing India on a low score, England’s batters also displayed their confidence and scored 367 runs in the first innings. With the 215-run lead, England bowlers rode high on confidence and ceased India on 161 in the second innings. This time, Anderson got the scalps of Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli.
