England's all-time leading wicket-taker James Anderson says seamer Brydon Carse reminds him of his legendary team-mate Stuart Broad.

Carse was the only England bowler to play in all five Ashes Test against Australia and was asked to take on the unusual role of opening the bowling.

At times was line and length was loose, and despite finishing as England's leading wicket-taker, he averaged 30.31 and had an economy rate of 4.81.

Broad is England's second-highest wicket-taker in Tests, taking 604 wickets, including 153 against Australia.

"I thought he gave a decent account of himself and his pitchmap got a little bit better throughout the series," Anderson said on BBC's Tailenders podcast.

"He reminds me a little bit of Stuart Broad - he's got that spell in him. He bowls wicket-taking balls and he's got good pace and he does run in all day.

"He has not bowled with the new ball much and he was asked to do that. You can see that.

"He's got the attributes to be a Test opening bowler but he just needs time to learn his game.

"He's not that young but he just needs to keep learning and honing his skills so he's more consistent."
