Michael Brown, president of England Test speedster Anderson's first club Burnley CC, recalls the fast bowler's journey from baby steps to his giant strides in world cricket

A huge hoarding welcomes you as you approach the Old Trafford cricket ground. ‘Home of James Anderson,’ it says with the English pacer adorning the poster.
There’s a World Cup on here but strangely England’s highest international wicket-taker (862) in all formats is not a part of the team. However, for everyone at Lancashire County Cricket Club this fact is of little relevance, for Anderson is their ultimate hero. They are happy listening to his commentary on BBC’s Test Match Special whenever England are playing. And on other days, they follow his exploits with Lancashire in Div II of the ongoing County Championship.
