Talking about his favorite moment in cricket, he revealed that his knock against South Africa in the 2015 World Cup. He said:

“Most of you will think that my ODI hundred [scored off just 36 deliveries against West Indies in 2014, at the time the fastest century in the format] would be my best game, but the situation and stage of the game matter a massive amount rather than the total. I scored 60-odd in the semi-final of the 2015 World Cup against South Africa, and it was my first time in a 50-over World Cup. All of these points, and the result of the game, made it probably one of my best and definitely up there as one of my favourites.”

If not a cricketer, Anderson said that he would have become an interior designer:

“I love designing homes, as strange as that may seem for a cricketer,” he said. “I’ve always loved it. So I’d possibly have been an architect, or an interior designer. Hopefully I can stick with cricket for a bit longer!”
