James Anderson on Friday created history by becoming only the third fast bowler ever and sixth overall to take 500 or more Test wickets. When Anderson got through the defence of West Indies batsman Kraigg Brathwaite on the second day of the ongoing Lord’s Test, he joined the likes of former Caribbean pacer Courtney Walsh and Australia’s Glenn McGrath among the fast bowlers who have taken 500 wickets and more.
