James Anderson is 39, but he still makes everything look easy.
And it’s no coincidence that he reaches one peak after another.
On Friday, when he induced the edge of Kl Rahul to pass the test signs of 619 Anil Kumble to become the third highest goalkeeper in the test history, there seemed to be no impossible sign.
In front of him are two legends round Shane Warnne (708 goal) and Muttiah Muralithan (800), but the way Anderson left, he might challenge a few more milestones.
“I feel really fit and fresh,” Anderson said during a post-match interview, explaining that there were no direct retirement plans.
His body had experienced occasional wear, but he continued walking.
“There was a point when I had a difficult injury and thought to give up.
But my wife encouraged me to continue.
And this is where I,” he said, explaining her desires and longevity.
Anderson’s greatness was in full view in the last two days of the test cricket.
After walking with Wicketless in the first session, Anderson decided to replace the line a little and start bowling a little closer to the stump.
Immediately paid dividends when he fired two Great Indian Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli behind to the back.
“It’s hard to say which is more satisfying, both of them are extraordinary players,” Anderson said, but what could be convinced that it was Indian captain’s goal which gave him more satisfaction.
After all, he couldn’t get Kohli out once during the 2018 tour after taking him four times in the 2014 series.
“I felt I was challenging the virat in the area before.
He played or skipped or left him.
He was always good enough to pass and today it was only One of the days where he refused.
Get Kohli came out as early as it was very unusual, “Anderson said.
The Indian Gawi captain at the start of this series must give Anderson the fuel needed for some great things in the series.
But the great man felt it was a plan that had been formulated not only to captain but Indian Batsmen in general.
“To be honest, it’s not really something we think about him.
What we are trying to do as a group trying to challenge the fourth stump area, defense as much as possible.
But yes, getting a good Virat good, he is an influential player,” Anderson said ,
