IND vs ENG: Jimmy Anderson swings his team to victory

One of the greatest bowlers of all time in Jimmy Anderson was ridiculed for his superior home average when compared to his away average but he took it personally and improved his wicket taking skills outside of England and became a giant in red ball cricket. One of his main weapons outside of England is reverse swing when the ball goes old. He becomes unplayable when it reverses and his subtle variations with impeccable accuracy is a nightmare to batsmen.
