James Anderson did something no other paceman has achieved when he dismissed Pakistan captain Azhar Ali in Southampton on Tuesday to reach 600 Test
The only bowlers with more Test wickets than the 38-year-old Anderson are a trio of retired spinners -- Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan , Australia's Shane Warne and India's Anil Kumble .
And unlike Trueman, a stalwart performer for Yorkshire, the advent of England central contracts means Anderson has not had to bowl hundreds of overs for Lancashire alongside his international commitments. He burst on the scene as a 20-year-old when, after just three limited-overs county games, he was summoned to Australia for a one-day international series.
But his form wavered and for a time Anderson found himself reduced to bowling at cones during England practice sessions. But he was back for England's miserable 5-0 Ashes series loss in Australia in 2006/07, taking just five wickets at an average of 82.60. A key moment in his career came in 2008 when, after a 189-run defeat by New Zealand in the first Test in Hamilton, then-England coach Peter Moores dropped Hoggard and Harmison and gave Anderson the new ball for the Wellington Test.Anderson took five wickets in the first innings and was then the unchallenged leader of England's attack. He played a key role in England's only Ashes triumph in Australia of recent times, taking 24 wickets at 26 during their 2010/11 success.
The sheer physical strain of his trade saw Anderson break a rib bowling against South Africa at Cape Town in January, yet he still bowled 37 overs in the match, taking seven wickets.
