James Anderson Broke The Record Of Australian Legends

James Anderson broke the record of Australian legends, now only Sachin Tendulkar is ahead of him.

Ashes test series is being played between Australia and England. In the fourth match of the same match, when England’s fast bowler James Anderson stepped on the field, he created history.

Anderson has also broken the record of two legendary players of the Australian team.

James Anderson has now become the second player in the world to play the most Test matches. He is the first fast bowler who has done this feat.

Actually, James Anderson landed in his 169th Test match on Wednesday, 5 January, and with this, he has left behind the legendary Australian batsman Ricky Ponting and Steve Waugh.

Before this match, Ponting, Waugh, and Anderson were jointly second in terms of playing the most Test matches, but now Anderson has overtaken these two legends.

James Anderson broke the record of Australian legends: Former captains Ricky Ponting and Steve Waugh participated in 168–168 Test matches.

Now only Sachin Tendulkar is ahead of him, who had set a world record by playing 200 Test matches for India, which is probably not going to be broken in recent times.

It is not easy for any fast bowler to play so many Test matches. Even at this time, James Anderson’s age is more than 39 years.

It is believed that this Ashes series will be the last Ashes series of his career. Apart from this, it is also being said that he is going to say goodbye to the world of cricket soon.

He left limited-overs cricket a long time back and was focusing only on red-ball cricket.

James Anderson has taken 639 wickets in 168 Test matches before 169 Test matches. In Test cricket, he has taken five wickets on 31 occasions, and three times he has also taken 10 wickets in a match.

He has played 269 matches in first-class cricket and has taken 1025 wickets in his name. He has also scored 1258 runs in Test cricket, including a century.
