Anderson reached the landmark of 700 Test wickets by dismissing Kuldeep Yadav on day three of the fifth and final Test against India at Dharamshala, becoming the first fast-bowler to do so. He is now third on the all-time list of wicket-takers in Tests behind Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We all know it means absolutely nothing, but we still always do it. It\u2019s a phenomenal achievement and not one I can see another fast bowler matching. When people talk about Jimmy, they mention the dedication and the mental resilience to keep driving forward, and obviously, you don\u2019t play until you\u2019re 41 without that but this is now the time we should just marvel at his skill, really, because that is what it has taken to get that many wickets in different conditions, challenging the best batters in the world for more than 20 years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"He\u2019s found ways to deliver at the top level and is still trying to get better, which is extraordinary when you think about it. It's a shame in a way that he will not be able to remember joining the elite company of Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralitharan for slightly better reasons in the sense that his moment came in a bit of a thumping at the end of a long tour for England,\" wrote Broad in his column for Daily Mail on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Broad, who claimed 604 Test before he retired from the game in July last year, admitted that a part of him wished for Anderson to take his 700th scalp in the start of England\u2019s Test home summer at Lord\u2019s against the West Indies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Selfishly, part of me was hoping he\u2019d be on 699 coming back to Lord\u2019s this summer and that I could be there to witness it with so many other England fans. Given our close working relationship over the years, I\u2019d have loved to be one of the 10 guys walking off behind him, giving him a clap. You really cherish moments in a career when teammates do special things,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Addressing the question of Anderson\u2019s future as a Test cricket-playing bowler, Broad admitted he has no idea when the pacer will call it quits. \u201cI will never forget Alastair Cook\u2019s double hundred at the MCG. Or Jimmy\u2019s 500th wicket, that of West Indies\u2019 Kraigg Brathwaite at Lord\u2019s in 2017. How long will he go on for as a Test bowler?<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It\u2019s a question people will naturally ask but I honestly have no idea. Jimmy\u2019s an addict, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. He\u2019s so invested in cricket. Someone who will feel very emotional when he eventually finishes. It\u2019s all he\u2019s known. And I think even when he chooses his moment, he\u2019ll still find it very hard to walk away.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It\u2019s so ingrained in him that he sometimes gives the impression that he wants to retire at the traditional UK age of 65. What he will be thinking of is a new target. Does he aim to get to 800 and match Murali? Is he looking to get past Warne\u2019s 708? He will know when the time\u2019s right to go, and only he can make that call.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Is it possible that he would play in the next Ashes away? Yes. Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes would want him to go on for the next 18- 24 months, but he will be 43 then and I don\u2019t necessarily think he\u2019ll be looking that far ahead,\" he concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/03\/cant-see-any-other-fast-bowler-matching-up-to-andersons-700-test-scalps-stuart-broad.JPG", "alt_img": "Can\u2019t see any other fast-bowler matching up to Anderson\u2019s 700 Test scalps: Stuart Broad", "alt_title": "Dharamshala: Second day of the fifth Test cricket match between India and England", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Can\u2019t See Any Other Fast-bowler Matching Up To Anderson\u2019s 700 Test Scalps: Stuart Broad On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Can\u2019t See Any Other Fast-bowler Matching Up To Anderson\u2019s 700 Test Scalps: Stuart Broad, Stuart Broad: Retired England fast-bowler Stuart Broad lauded his long-time bowling partner James Anderson for reaching the milestone of 700.", "seo_keywords": "Stuart Broad, New Delhi, Retired England, James Anderson, Kuldeep Yadav, Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne, Daily Mail, West Indies, Alastair Cook, Or Jimmy, Kraigg Brathwaite, Brendon McCullum, Ben Stokes", "tag": "", "tagging": "Stuart Broad, New Delhi, Retired England, James Anderson, Kuldeep Yadav, Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne, Daily Mail, West Indies, Alastair Cook, Or Jimmy, Kraigg Brathwaite, Brendon McCullum, Ben Stokes", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "cant-see-any-other-fast-bowler-matching-up-to-andersons-700-test-scalps-stuart-broad", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "882", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-03-10 12:32:03", "updated": "2024-03-10 12:32:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Stuart Broad, New Delhi, Retired England, James Anderson, Kuldeep Yadav, Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne, Daily Mail, West Indies, Alastair Cook, Or Jimmy, Kraigg Brathwaite, Brendon McCullum, Ben Stokes", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-03-10 12:32:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "england_cricket": "0", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/cant-see-any-other-fast-bowler-matching-up-to-andersons-700-test-scalps-stuart-broad-140029" }
