He achieved the rare feat while making a return from injury during the first Test against South Africa beginning Thursday at the SuperSport Park.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 37-year-old made a terrific comeback as he scalped Dean Elgar with the very first ball he bowled.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After Anderson, his compatriot Stuart Broad is second on the list with 135 Test appearances. Former West Indies pacer Courtney Walsh comes next with 132 Tests appearances.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Anderson also became the ninth cricketer to reach the 150-Test milestone -- joining the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Steve Waugh and Jacques Kallis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The right-handed bowler last represented England in the first Ashes Test when he had to leave the field after bowling just four overs. After that, he also missed the two-Test series against New Zealand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Anderson, who made his Test debut at the age of 20, is the leading wicket-taker for England in Test cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Former captain Alastair Cook holds the distinction of being the most capped Test player for England. Cook played 161 Tests in which he scored 12,472 runs, including 33 centuries.<\/p>\r\n",
