I copped a barrage of abuse from Jimmy… he's a nightmare to face, just like Stuart.

IBELIEVE Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad are the best new-ball pair England have ever had. The 781 Test wickets they have taken supports that opinion, and they are a nightmare for batsmen to face, especially if conditions are in their favour. I remember copping a barrage of abuse from Jimmy in a County Championship match in 2012 — my first summer at Nottinghamshire — when he was playing for Lancashire. He has every single delivery in his armoury and he generally knows exactly what the ball will do when he delivers it. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
