England's milestone man James Anderson in no mood to stop

James Anderson is 39, but he still makes things look easy. And it’s not a coincidence that he is reaching one peak after another. On Friday, when he induced an edge off KL Rahul to go past Anil Kumble’s mark of 619 Test wickets to become the third highest wicket-taker in Test history, it seemed that no mark is impossible. Ahead of him are two spin legends Shane Warne (708 wickets) and Muttiah Muralitharan (800), but the way Anderson is going, he may well be challenging a few more milestones.
