James Anderson insists his history-making 700th Test wicket was 바카라nothing to celebrate바카라 after England바카라s series defeat in India and is already looking to booking his place in the side this summer. (More Cricket News)
Anderson became the first fast bowler to reach the remarkable landmark when he dismissed Kuldeep Yadav in Dharamsala, joining spinners Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne in one of cricket바카라s most elite clubs.
The 41-year-old seamer has been collecting various records since he first surpassed Sir Ian Botham as England바카라s leading wicket-taker back in 2015 and, with his big moment coming in an innings defeat and a 4-1 loss overall, he was happy to downplay the significance of an achievement which is unlikely to be matched.
바카라I didn바카라t really celebrate, I바카라ll be honest. There바카라s nothing to celebrate,바카라 he told his Tailenders podcast.
바카라My dad was here so I had a drink with my dad, which was nice. He was more excited than I was. Maybe I would바카라ve felt more excited if we바카라d have won the Test or the series.
바카라I don바카라t know how I felt really.바카라
Anderson has been garlanded with praise, including his former captain Nasser Hussain바카라s suggestion that his final career tally will one day go down alongside the great Sir Donald Bradman바카라s batting average of 99.94, but claimed that was not the kind of of glory he sought.
바카라That바카라s irrelevant to me. I don바카라t get anything out of what other people say,바카라 he added.
바카라I don바카라t play cricket to get personal milestones, I guess. I want to win games. I love playing a team sport, that바카라s when I get the biggest buzz. So I바카라m a little flat because we lost 4-1 in the series.바카라
Anderson has been swatting aside questions over when he might hang up his boots for several years but looked fit, held his pace and bowled skilfully enough to leave no question that he would be in contention for yet another domestic season in 2024, with England facing Test series against the West Indies and Sri Lanka.
바카라I바카라m really excited for the summer. I바카라m definitely in the best shape I바카라ve ever been in,바카라 he said.
바카라I바카라m not getting any worse. I like where my game is at and I still have that enjoyment of turning up every day and trying to get better in the nets.
바카라My place in the team is not a given, so I바카라ve got to work hard to prove I바카라m worth a place in the summer.바카라
