England's fast bowler James Anderson is about to say goodbye to his Test career. He is playing the last match of his career against West Indies. James Anderson has contributed significantly to the success of his national team, especially in Test matches, in which his figures are the best. Anderson has also made a world record in his last international match. He has become the first fast bowler to bowl 40,000 or more balls in the history of Test cricket. At the same time, he has also achieved the feat of bowling 50,000 balls in international cricket. But there are also 2 such records which he will never be able to break now.

Now we can't leave Shane Warne behind in this list

James Anderson is the fastest bowler to take the most wickets in Tests. At the same time, he is at number three in terms of taking the most wickets in the history of Test cricket. In this match, he had a chance to overtake Australia's great spinner Shane Warne and come at number two, but Anderson's dream will not be fulfilled now. Shane Warne had taken 708 wickets in Tests, while Anderson had 700 wickets to his name before this match. He needed 9 wickets to overtake Warne, but he has been able to take only 3 wickets so far and 6 wickets have already fallen in the second innings of West Indies.

In such a situation, now Anderson can take a maximum of 707 wickets in Tests.

This record of Sachin Tendulkar will also remain intact

James Anderson will not be able to break Sachin Tendulkar's record of playing the most Test matches. Sachin Tendulkar has played the most matches in Tests. Sachin was a part of 200 Test matches in his career. At the same time, this is James Anderson's 188th match and he will not be able to move ahead of the second position in terms of playing the most Test matches.

In such a situation, there is very little hope that any player will be able to break this record of Sachin soon, because at this time no player is even close to Sachin Tendulkar.

Due to this, he decided to retire

Anderson had decided to retire in April this year when ECB managing director Rob Key, coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes told him that he was not part of their plans for the Ashes to be played in 2025-26. Apart from the Test format, James Anderson also left his mark in ODIs and T20s for England. He played 194 ODIs and 19 T20 matches for England.

He took 269 wickets in ODIs and 18 wickets in T20s.
