Official synopsis Publisher
THE MUST-HAVE AUTOBIOGRAPHY FROM CRICKET LEGEND, JIMMY ANDERSON
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2025 CHARLES TYRWHITT SPORTS BOOK AWARDS
21 years, 188 Test Matches, 704 Test Wickets.
This is Jimmy’s story: an intimate, honest reflection told with his trademark humility and dry humor. From growing up in. Burnley as an outsider, isolated at school, bunking off, dreaming of being somewhere – anywhere – else, to dominating the 22 yards of the wicket as part of the deadliest England attack ever assembled.
Jimmy takes us inside the dressing room, to those unforgettable moments: his debut under Nasser Hussain, facing off the Aussies with Monty Panesar, Kevin Pietersen’s ‘text gate’ and that Mitchell Johnson incident. He reflects on the intense rivalries with Michael Clarke and Sachin Tendulkar and the burgeoning friendships with Alastair Cook and Stuart Broad. Delving behind the cricket, Jimmy reveals his experiences of personal loss alongside the pain of professional injury, and the strength he found from his marriage and the arrival of his two children.
Finding the Edge is a front-row seat at the greatest games of the last two decades as England journey from perennial losers to world number one. But, above all, it is a coming-of-age story that reveals the real Jimmy Anderson: vulnerable, introspective, relentlessly determined, constantly evolving – a bowler unequalled, a career like no other.
