His current tally of 616 Test wickets is the most by any England bowler, as well as being more than any other paceman in the history of the game. "I'm proud of the fact that I've overcome little hurdles throughout my career and they've made me stronger," said Anderson. Boult's overall record of 281 wickets in 71 Tests includes 21, at an average of just over 23 apiece, from four matches in England. "I think he is clever, a smart bowler with a number of different skills," said England captain Joe Root. "His record speaks for itself, he swings the new ball and brings the stumps into play."
