Jimmy Anderson Has Become The First English Cricketer In History To Take 500 Test Wickets After His Dismissal Of West Indies Opener Kraigg Brathwaite
Jimmy Anderson has become the first English cricketer in history to take 500 Test wickets after his dismissal of West Indies opener Kraigg Brathwaite.
The 35-year-old came into the third Test on 497, http://www.taban-miniatures.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=341335 but it was soon 498 when Brathwaite was caught behind by Jonny Bairstow.
In truth, Brathwaite's first-innings dismissal could and should have come earlier were it not for a dropped catch by captain Alistair Cook at first slip.
