Anderson now on Mission 700

Southampton, August 26

James Anderson is far from being done after becoming the first pacer to amass 600 Test wickets and he sees no reason why he can't enter the 700-club alongside Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralitharan even though he has hit 38. "I've chatted to Joe about this a little bit and he has said he would like me to be in Australia (for the Ashes next year)," Anderson was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. "I don't see any reason why I can't be. I'm working hard on my fitness all the time. I'm working hard on my game."

"I feel like I've still got stuff to offer this team. As long as I still feel like that I think I'll keep going. Can I reach 700? Why not?"

Anderson claimed his 29th five-wicket haul in the third Test and only the great Richard Hadlee has more among seam bowlers.

Talking about his 600 wickets, Anderson said: "Looking back to that first Test, I never thought I would get anywhere near 600." — PTI
