    1,000 FIRST-CLASS WICKETS FOR ANDERSON

    Kent 19-5

    James Anderson made his first-class debut in 2002. Now, here we are in 2021 and there is another huge milestone wicket for the Lancashire and England pace bowler.

    Heino Kuhn is the man to go, caught behind for a nine-ball duck – the other four were all taken by the slips. His figures now are 7-5-3-5 and that is the 51st time he has taken five or more wickets in a first-class innings.

    Just shows how the game has changed, as Jimmy has taken more test wickets then county wickets.

    He will most likely be the last player to reach 1000 first class wickets with the way the game is going and of course he had to do it against my county.

    This was a big week for International Test cricket, as James Anderson dismisses Pakistan’s Azhar Ali to become the first seam bowler in history to take 600 Test wickets.

    Just goes to show what sportsman have to go through, this was a comment from the 1st Test v India in July 2007 when Jimmy had his best figures at the time and included his 50th test wicket in his 17th test –

     “The batsmen Anderson has got out total close to 63000 runs in international cricket. If he gets Laxman, that figure will go to 70000! Some achievement that, should really cement his place in the England squad you would think.”
