James Anderson : Journey
The journey of James Anderson started from the Lord’s and now it is ending at the same place and he is the only fast bowler to play 188 test matches and he has bowled around 40 thousand balls and the economy of his is just 2.79 and he is just 7 wickets behind Shane Warne in the first innings in the last match against West Indies he got 1 wicket in the first Innings let’s see how many more wickets will be at the end of the last match.
Across all the formats in Test, ODI and T20 he has 987 wickets which is also a brilliant and none of the fast bowlers have come so close to this and there are many other wickets which was not claimed due to the umpire call if we include that then he could be at 2 number in the top bowlers ranking order.
Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes’ first decision was to recall the recently dropped Stuart Broad and Anderson when they took in Spring 2022, but Broad retired in fairytale fashion after the final Ashes Test last summer, and the regime have decided it is time to move on from Anderson as well.
As Lord’s bid farewell, Anderson responded in kind with the wicket, and that puts him just seven behind the late Warne’s impressive total.
James Anderson : Achievement
In Test cricket, James Anderson has now removed the highest run scorer in the history of the game, Sachin Tendulkar, nine times. Tendulkar has never been defeated by Anderson in a Test match, and no one has ever taken his wicket more. Given that Tendulkar had been a highly successful international player for almost 20 years before to facing Anderson and may have already been in decline, perhaps Anderson’s record is a little deceiving. Still, he was a great player and a valuable wicket for any bowler.
This is the longest carrier of a fast bowler in cricket and he is the only one who have played more matches than a spinner and only Sachin Tendulkar is at the top with 200 matches well the records of James Anderson are not able to break this could take a very long time period for any batter or bowler to reach there.
