- Seamer can equal mark of 161 caps if picked at Lord’s
- ‘To play this amount of games is … a bit mind-blowing’
Jimmy Anderson approaches the latest milestones of his record-breaking career with an acknowledgment of his good fortune regarding injury and an insistence that his preference has always been to do it the hard way.
Anderson’s 19th summer as a Test cricketer begins with him one cap from equalling Alastair Cook’s England record of 161, while a further eight wickets would make him the first English seamer to reach 1,000 first-class wickets since Andy Caddick in 2005.
