Legends and Pundits react as James Anderson becomes the first pacer to take 600 Test wickets
James Anderson became the first-ever English player and pacer to join Kumble, Muralitharan and Warne's '600 club' after picking up the wicket of Azhar Ali. At the age of 38, the pacer still is going strong, with his show against both Pakistan and West Indies at home as legends reacted on the same.
What an achievement!!

6️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ wickets in Test Cricket over a span of 17 years for a fast bowler is a testament to your grit, perseverance and accurate bowling. pic.twitter.com/nQok5bgbOG
A Great end to the final game!
This is the beauty of Test Cricket. One weak session lost us the series. A good series overall in Covid times. England should definitely do a return tour. #ENGvPAK

Never thought I’d see in my lifetime a fast bowler take 600 test wickets! It’s not just the quantity but the quality with which he has bowled - be it slow or fast wickets, bounce or no bounce, seam or no seam, for him conditions never mattered! Sir @jimmy9 you are the #GOAT pic.twitter.com/ADrrW7m3zp

For a fast-bowler to play 156 test matches is an incredible achievement, a testament of his endurance. And becoming the first fast bowler to 600 test wickets is a just reward for the hard-work & the passion with which @jimmy9 has played his cricket.
