ENG vs AUS: James Anderson once again proved that he is inevitable. Can you believe it, a 41-year-old still running into his run-up and bowls a 136-140 kmph with such exceptional swinging skills? Every time he approaches the crease, he is not just bowling but also creating havoc and breaking old records. This time Anderson Reaches an Astonishing Milestone in the Ashes 2023 by taking his 1100th wicket in first-class Cricket.
Up until this morning, Anderson was still without a wicket. However, he did it this morning when he dismissed the dangerous-looking Alex Carey. Carey was nearing his century and had 66 runs off 99 deliveries when Anderson knocked him away.
Alex Carey was bowled out off an unplayable delivery of James Anderson. Carey was rendered speechless by a peach of an inswinger. Carey was staring at the ball when he was dismissed, and the surprise was evident on the look on his face.
A delivery like this on a flat pitch could only be made by one of the all-time greats. James Anderson once more displayed his upright character and discipline and also demonstrated to the critics why he is still on the team.
With this wicket, James Anderson has taken 1100 first-class wickets. This historic achievement is exceptional. A fantastic legacy fit for one of the best fast bowlers in history. He (686) needs 14 more wickets to get 700 international test wickets, and if all goes according to plan, he can reach that goal only during this series. To match the legendary Australian Shane Warne’s 708 test wickets, he needs 22 more wickets.
