Clarke cleaned up for a duck

Michael Clarke was one of the outstanding batsmen of his generation but in July 2013 at Trent Bridge Anderson came out on top after a brilliant wobble seam delivery took the top of the off stump as the Australia captain was bowled for a duck.

Anderson took 10 wickets in the match as England sealed a thrilling win that helped them retain the Ashes.

Shami strike lets Cook go out on a high

Of all his England captains, Anderson was perhaps closest to Alastair Cook and the pair's friendship was evident for all to see when the opening batsman played his last Test, against India at The Oval in 2018.

Cook bowed out in fairytale fashion with a second-innings hundred while Anderson became the most successful fast bowler in Test history, overtaking Australia's Glenn McGrath, when he rounded off a 4-1 series win by bowling tailender Mohammed Shami for his 564th Test wicket.
