ENGvsNZ: James Anderson becomes the most capped English Test Cricketer surpassing Alastair Cook.



ENGvsNZ: In the ongoing second test match between England and New Zealand, the host's pacer James Anderson has included another feather to his already decorated hat, he now becomes the most capped English cricketer in the test format.



The 28-years old pacer achieved this feat in the ongoing second test game against New Zealand surpassing the previous best Alastair Cook.



Anderson has now featured in 162 Test games for England since 2003 while Alistair Cook featured in one less.



"18 years. 616 wickets. 162 Tests. Your skill, desire and sacrifice continues to amaze us all. Our most capped Test cricketer ever. Congrats @Jimmy9," wrote England Cricket Board apricating the pacer.

He has scalped 616 wickets in the longest format of cricket, which began in 2003 and is still going strong.

The pacer is also seventh in the all time list which is led by Indian former cricketer Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar with 200 Test appearances.



Anderson revealed that he was a bit confused when he started his international career back in 2003. He doubted whether he was fit to play at the highest level or not.



"I thought I wasn't good enough. I thought it was a huge step up from county cricket. I remember Nasser [Hussain] didn't have a fine leg for me and I went for quite a few runs. My first ball was a no-ball as well so there were a lot of nerves there and I did feel like this was maybe a step too far for me at that point," he said as reported by ESPNcricinfo.

The pacer also revealed that the hurdles which came his way in this journey has made him stronger to face even bigger challenges.



Besides James Anderson, Stuart Broad is the third most capped English player with 148 test games under his belt.

ENGvsIND: Watch Virat Kohli engage in a heated conversation with England pacer James Anderson.



ENGvsIND: Indian skipper Virat Kohli and English ace pacer James Anderon got engaged in a heated argument during day four of the England vs India Lord's test match. Kohli, while batting on 10 runs, was heard calling his English counterpart James Anderson, ?this isn't your backyard,? as he was running in the middle of the pitch.



Some fans associated it with the incident that happened last evening when James Anderson was allegedly swearing at Bumrah. 27 years old Jasprit Bumrah had delivered a really nasty over to James Anderson on day three, consisting of bouncers and pin-point yorkers, which initiated the heat between the two players.



The video down below shows one of the exchanges of words between Indian skipper Virat Kohli and English pacer James Anderson.

It is noteworthy that Anderson, 39 years old, sent back the Indian skipper on a golden duck during the first test at Trent Bridge, however, Kohli looked much more comfortable to face the pacer during his short stay in the ongoing Lord?s test match.



Kohli scored 20 runs from 31 balls in his recent outing with the help of four boundaries before he was dismissed by all-rounder Sam Curran. This was one of the rare instances of Virat Kohli losing his concentration despite getting a good start to the innings.?



As of now, the match at Lord?s is equally poised with Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane at the middle. India is 78 runs ahead of the home team in the loss of three wickets.?



Express England pacer Mark Wood picked up two wickets while all-rounder Sam Curran scalped one.

ENGvsIND: [Watch] Virat Kohli engage in a heated conversation with England pacer James Anderson

watch-virat-kohli-engage-in-a-heated-conversation-with-james-anderson

ENGvsIND: English ace pacer James Anderson has revealed that India?s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah wasn?t trying to get him out during the second innings of the Lord?s test match in which the Indian pacer rattled him with nasty bouncers and pinpoint yorkers.



Bumrah delivered 10 balls over to James Anderson in the Lord?s test which mostly comprised of the bouncers and yorkers. One of the balls hit Anderson on the helmet. The heat between the two teams began during that moment and words were exchanged as well.



Anderson was definitely not pleased with the incident and indicated the same on his recent BBC Tailenders Podcast. He disclosed that the first ball he faced was 90 miles an hour and was on point. He further stated that he has not faced this fierce over in his entire career.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



"I got caught off guard a bit because all the batters coming in were saying how slow the pitch was, when it is banged in short, it is really slow. Similarly, when I came out to bat Joe Root said Bumrah is not bowling as quick as he normally does,? said James Anderson to the BBC Tailenders Podcast.&nbsp;



?And then the first ball was 90mph on the money, wasn't it? "After that, I have not felt like this, I don't think ever in my career, I felt like he wasn't trying to get me out.?

Bumrah wasn?t trying to get me out during 2nd test, says James Anderson.



Jasprit Bumrah delivered three no-balls in the over which comprised of 10 deliveries to James Anderson. The pacer was absolutely ruthless with his accurate toe crushers and short of length balls. The commentators literally said, ?Anderson can finally breathe,? after the speedster completed his elongated over.



?He bowled an over that was maybe 10, 11, 12 balls, bowling no-ball after no-ball, and bowling short. I think he bowled two on the stumps, which I managed to dig out," he added.



Jasprit Bumrah was exposed to the same situation, which he created for James Anderson, when he came to bat in the third innings, however, he got settled to the situation easily and gave a befitting reply to the bowlers as they tried to bowl short of length balls.?

3 Key Battles to watch for in the 3rd Test: The five matches test series between India and England has taken an interesting curve as the players have started getting closer to each other and a real face-off was seen in the previous match. 



The series is currently led by India by 1-0 following a record win at Lord?s cricket ground by a massive 151 runs. The third test match will begin on 25th August at Headingley Leeds as India will look to widen the lead, however, England will try to level the series.



The real intense heat amongst the cricketers of the two teams came into the picture in the previous test match and the experts believe that the heat will increase the competitiveness of the match as the series progress.



There has been a lot of chatter ahead of the third test match scheduled at Headingley Leeds. Here are the three key battles to watch for in the 3rd Test match.



<h2>3 Key Battles to watch for in the 3rd Test match between England and India at Leeds:</h2>



<h3>#1. Jasprit Bumrah vs James Anderson:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/08/James-Anderson-vs-Jasprit-bumrah.jpg" alt="James Anderson vs Jasprit Bumrah." class="wp-image-68539" /></figure>



The red hot face-off of the India vs England test series will be between Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah and English pacer James Anderson. Both the players were seen engaging in a few exchanges during the Lord?s test match. In fact, the second test had a bit of Bumrah versus Anderson moment after the former rattled the latter with a barrage of bouncers.



The same respect and treatments were given to Jasprit Bumrah as well by the English pacer, however, the Indian pacer was a lot better at handling the situation.



The third test is expected to have timely doses of a verbal spat between the two right from day one. More fireworks and intense battles will be there when Bumrah and Anderson face each other at Headingley.

<h3>#2. Virat Kohli vs James Anderson:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/08/Virat-Kohli-vs-James-Anderson.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-68542" /></figure>



The second match-up will be between Indian skipper Virat Kohli and English ace pacer James Anderson. While this time, it will be more of the battle between the bat and ball.&nbsp;



James Anderson has dismissed Kohli six times now in test cricket, including two times on a duck. The pacer recently picked up the Indian skipper for a golden duck in the Nottingham test match.



Virat?s bat has been quiet since 2019 when it comes to scoring a century. He is yet to get to his 71st international ton as he has always fallen short by a few dozen runs. The Headingley Test match may witness some glorious strokeplay from King Kohli as the cricketer look to complete his milestone that has taken a hell lot of time to arrive.



<h3>#3. Joe Root vs Ravindra Jadeja:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/08/Joe-Root-vs-Ravindra-Jadeja.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-68543" /></figure>



The third contest will be between England skipper Joe Root and Indian left-arm spin all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Although Jadeja has had a quiet test series so far with the ball, Root is Jadeja?s one of favourite foes.



He has picked up Root five times in test cricket so far and will look to have another go at the opposing skipper.&nbsp;



With scores of 64, 109, 33 and 180* and 33, Root has been an in-form batter who hasn?t really found himself in any tricky situations as far as this series is concerned. Root has taken out England from difficult situations in the past and is reading the bowler?s mind easily.



If India plays Ravichandran Ashwin in the third test match, he will also have a go at Root. Ashwin has also dismissed Joe Root five times in test cricket.?

English pacer James Anderson set to miss 1st Ashes test match in Brisbane.



The Ashes 2021-22: England has dealt a major blow ahead of the start of Men?s Ashes 2021-22 as paceman James Anderson is all set to miss the opening Ashes 2021-22 test match at Brisbane?s Gaba due to a minor calf problem.



The development has dented England?s chances of winning the Ashes as they are already short of another sensational paceman Jofra Archer, who is not available for the test series due to his recurring elbow injury.



Anderson is apparently the world?s best test speedster with a massive 632 scalps under his belt. His absence would be a concern for the visitors as The Ashes 2021-22 kickstarts on Wednesday, 8th December in Brisbane?s Gaba.



However, the England and Wales Cricket Board hasn't provided any updates on the pacers progress, nor on the replacement for the opening test.



Joe Root and management will have to pick four bowlers from a lot of Ollie Robinson, Chris Woakes, Jack Leach, Stuart Broad and Mark Wood alongside all-rounder Ben Stokes, who is making a comeback in international cricket after months break.



Anderson did his drills on Monday for about an hour in the nets before he was withdrawn from his roles to prevent further injuries.&nbsp;



The development came soon after Australia announced their starting playing11 while English skipper Joe Root refrained from revealing the actual playing11 on Monday.

"I'm not into mind games, I'm just not in a position right now to name my team," Root told journalists.



"Fair play that they've announced their eleven. Doesn't really concern me or change anything from our perspective. We'll conduct our business how we want to and let you know when we're ready,? he added.

The Ashes 2021-22: English pacer James Anderson set to miss 1st Ashes test match in Brisbane

ICC Ranking: Anderson Reclaims No. 1 position, Cummins displaced after 1466 days: International Cricket Council has updated the ICC Test Bowler Ranking table where James Anderson of England has reclaimed the number 1 spot, ending 1466 days no. 1 steak of Australian Speedster Pat Cummins.



The 40-year-old took 7 wickets in the first test in the ongoing test series of England vs New Zealand. England beat New Zealand in the first test by a gigantic margin of 267 runs. England have unleashed their actually potential with a different standard of Test cricket and have won 10 tests out of 11 under Brandon McCullum.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

For the sixth time in his career, Anderson has taken the top rank in the Men's Test Player Rankings. He first rose to the position in May 2016 and last held it in November 2018 before Kagiso Rabada overtook him.



In addition, Anderson's elevation to the top spot at the sprightly age of 40 years and 207 days makes him the oldest active bowler in the top spot since Australian great Clarrie Grimmett did so in 1936.



<h3>Oldest bowlers to be ranked No. 1 in Test in ICC Ranking</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Bert Ironmonger</td><td>50y 10m&nbsp;</td><td>Feb 1933</td></tr><tr><td>Clarrie Grimmett</td><td>44y 2m</td><td>Feb 1936</td></tr><tr><td>?Tich?

But, his lead at the top is razor-thin, with Ashwin in second place on 864 rating points, only two points behind the English pacer. Ashwin is expected to once again perform exceptionally and very likely he'll be snatching the rank from the British veteran.



While Cummins, who has been ranked first since February 2019, falls to third with 858 rating points, he still has a chance to reclaim the top spot if Australia's current Test series against India features some standout performances.

Ahead of the Ireland Test and Ashes 2023, England suffered a major blow as premier pacer James Anderson suffered an injury while playing in the county championship. The right-arm pacer faced a groin injury and was immediately taken off the field.?



James Anderson then didn?t take part in the game any further. With him getting injured there were many speculations about his availability for the Ashes 2023. But to the relive of English fans, he was named in the squad for the Ireland Test.&nbsp;



ECB director Rob Key said that they have picked James Anderson and will monitor his fitness during the Ireland Test. It?s learned that the pacer hasn?t regained his full fitness and might take up some time. Although he might train up with the team but can miss the game against Ireland.&nbsp;



James Anderson has an update about his fitness. He said that he?ll be back to his full rhythm in a couple of weeks. While speaking to the BBC's Tailenders podcast, he said:?

?I'm not worried about it. It's obviously not great getting injured but it's probably the best outcome for what it is, because it's a low-grade thing and I think in a couple of weeks I'll be back to full fitness. It's frustrating because you always want to feel good and get enough bowling in before a series and you want to be fresh, so it's now about trying to plan the best route through this summer.&nbsp;



I felt like I needed to play this game so it's not ideal, but I'm not stressed about it.&nbsp;I'm just taking it day by day and seeing how it goes because obviously I don't want to risk anything by making it worse. I'm more confident I can get this one right [than in 2019] and give the Ashes a right good crack."

Both England and Australia will be high on confidence as they are yet to lose the ever since Ben Stokes and Pat Cummins took charge of their respective teams. Australia recently won the ICC World Test Championship Final whereas England with their Bazball approach is the most exciting team.?



Coming to England, it?s fair to say that duo of James Anderson and Stuart Broad will hold the key. They have been the backbone of the England bowling lineup and have ageing like fine wine. The duo are among the leading wicket-takers in the Tests and they will be a vital cog for England in the Ashes.&nbsp;



James Anderson and Stuart Broad even in their early 40s are performing like youngsters and are making a mockery of the opposition's batting lineups. Their on-field record speaks for itself as they share more than 1100 wickets between them in the Tests and would be looking to add more to their tally.?

Both are on the verge of creating a massive record in the upcoming Ashes 2023. While James Anderson needs 15 wickets to complete 700 wickets in the longest format of the game, Stuart Broad on the other hand is just 18 wickets away from 600 Test wickets. With 5 matches slated to take place in English conditions, it is likely that they can achieve the feat.?

Ashes 2023: James Anderson and Stuart Broad on the verge of scripting history as they eye major milestones in Ashes 2023

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.
