England seam bowler James Anderson had Peter Fulton caught low at second slip by Graeme Swann, and he became the 4th England bowler - after Ian Botham, Bob Willis, and Fred Trueman - and the 26th in all, to take 300 Test wickets. That journey took him almost exactly 10 years, given that he made his Test debut on May 22, 2003, and over those 10 years. James Anderson entirely conceivable that he will surpass Botham's tally of 383 and become England's highest wicket-taker in Tests. Fred Trueman reached the 300-wicket mark the fastest in just 65 Tests while Bob Willis and James Anderson have taken the longest. In terms of averages, Ian Botham had an excellent strike rate in terms of wickets per Test till he got to 300 he reached the mark in only 72 matches but then took only 78 wickets in his last 30 Tests to finish on 383 from 102.
