Jimmy Anderson's biography

At a glance

  • England's most successful cricket bowler of all time
  • Co-host of popular podcast Tailenders
  • Executive producer of documentary Warriors

James ‘Jimmy’ Anderson OBE is England’s most successful cricket bowler. He made his first-class debut for Lancashire at 19 and his One Day International (ODI) debut for England at 20. Over the years, he has become a key player in England’s ascent to the number one Test team in the world. Jimmy is renowned for his skills as a fast bowler, particularly in Test cricket, where his mastery of swing bowling has set him apart.


He was named England’s player of the year in 2012 and holds the record for the most international wickets by an English bowler. Beyond cricket, Jimmy co-hosts the popular podcast Tailenders for BBC Radio 5 Live alongside writer Felix White and radio presenter Greg James. In 2012, he published his book, Jimmy: My Story, which chronicles the highs and lows of his career, including his experiences with injury and success. Jimmy has established brand partnerships with several notable companies, including Adidas, Slazenger, and Thomas Cook Sport.


He has also collaborated with brands like Wellman and Brut. Additionally, he has a strong interest in fashion and launched a 22-piece capsule collection with Chess London. He served as executive producer for the documentary Warriors, which follows a group of young Maasai in Kenya who form a cricket team. The film documents their journey as they aim to reach England and compete in the amateur ‘Last Man Stands World Championship.’ Jimmy is also a dedicated ambassador for several charities, including Nordoff Robbins, The James Milner Foundation, and the LCCC Foundation.

What topics does Jimmy Anderson specialise in?

Does PepTalk charge a booking fee?

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.

What happens after I send a brief?

Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.

What does the typical fee range mean?

The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.

Have all the speakers on the website worked with PepTalk before?

Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.

How far in advance should I book a speaker?

Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
