James Anderson is best of all time - England captain Alastair Cook
Captain Alastair Cook said James Anderson is England's greatest bowler of all time after he inspired them to a nine-wicket win over West Indies.
Anderson, England's highest Test wicket-taker, took 3-1 on the final morning of the second Test to help the tourists to a 1-0 series lead.
"It was a brilliant performance," Cook told BBC Sport.
"He was the star and it just proves why, in my eyes, he is England's best bowler of all time."
With England needing to take eight wickets on an unresponsive pitch, Anderson not only made the triple breakthrough by swinging the second new ball, but also took two catches and ran out Jason Holder with a direct hit.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

No surprise Cook saying that since Anderson is the only one he has played with.

Indeed but Cook's claim is that Anderson is "is England's greatest bowler of all time".
He didn't say one of the greatest, he say he IS the greatest.
I suspect half his greatest ever English team would be players that he played with.
