when England toured India in 2008, Anderson got his man once more, again inducing an outside edge to gully. In all, Anderson has bowled 200 deliveries to Tendulkar in Tests and dismissed him five times at the cost of 96 runs. Those are figures that many bowlers would die for against Tendulkar. (Glenn McGrath and Jason Gillespie dismissed him six times each, while Allan Donald took him out five times, but most of those dismissals were before ESPNcricinfo's ball-by-ball came into service, due to which Tendulkar's personal averages against those bowlers remains unknown.)Since 2002, a couple of other bowlers have dismissed Tendulkar five or more times, but both have had to work much harder for their wickets: Muttiah Muralitharan bowled 366 balls at him for his six dismissals, while Brett Lee bowled 432 for his five. Against Lee, Tendulkar averaged almost 50. Anderson, on the other hand, has dismissed Tendulkar five times, bowling far fewer deliveries and conceding far fewer runs.
