Anderson became the fourth-highest wicket taker, behind the spin trio of Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan, Australia’s Shane Warne, and India’s Anil Kumble as he overtook Glenn McGrath on the list. And the Australian believed that there’s still more to come from the 36-year old fast bowler in the coming years.

“Just to see Jimmy now, he looks fit and keen and running around, it depends on what he wants to do. He has gone past me and I think the next bar is 600 Test wickets. If he can get to 600 Test wickets, that’s an incredible effort, and if he is still got that drive, that passion to get yourself up, to put the hard work in off the field to carry you through on the field… if he has still got that desire, then he can play as long as he wants,” McGrath told ‘BBC’.

“I think he’s still got a little bit left in the tank yet. I’d like to see Jimmy go and get 600 and then whether he wants to try and knock off one of these dodgy spinners that are still at the top of the tree. I think Kumble is about 619. That’s within range,” the former Australian fast bowler added.
