Jimmy Anderson: Behind the Bowler

Jimmy Anderson: Behind the Bowler

In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O’Brien sits down with cricketing icon Jimmy Anderson to trace the arc of a record-breaking career- from growing up as a shy kid in Burnley, to becoming the most successful fast bowler in Test history. Jimmy reflects on the early self-doubt that plagued him, the physical toll of a 20-year career, and the inner battles he faced behind the scenes.

They discuss everything from the fierce rivalries that shaped him, to being dropped from the England squad after nearly two decades. Jimmy also shares personal revelations about his mental health, the strength he drew from family life, and how loss, resilience, and therapy helped him endure some of his darkest moments.

As he steps into retirement, Jimmy opens up about what the game has taught him, why he’s still not finished giving back, and how he plans to navigate life off the pitch. Reflective and candid, this conversation reveals the human side of a sporting great who’s spent his life finding calm amid the chaos.
