WATCH:
Anderson has 617 Test wickets, the most by an England bowler and most by a pacer. Earlier this year, Anderson also became the most capped English Test player with his 162nd match.
“For a bowler to play this amount of games, I don’t know what the word is, but it’s a bit mind-blowing to me,’ Anderson had said.
“It’s a lot of wickets and in this day and age, I don’t know if it’s possible to get that many first-class wickets anymore.
“With the amount of cricket that’s played there doesn’t seem to be that longevity in bowlers and there’s loads of T20 cricket and whatever else going on around the world.
“I’m just happy to still be here, to be honest. It does make me feel proud. I never imagined in a million years I’d get to this point. I don’t feel like I’ve played that many games. My body doesn’t feel old or tired.
“I just absolutely love Test cricket, I’ve got a huge passion for it. Growing up, all I wanted to do is play Test cricket for England and I’m honoured I’ve been able to do it for this long.”
