Australian legend Glenn McGrath praised James Anderson, who crossed 700 Test wickets in Dharamsala on Saturday, and felt the English pacer has set a bar so high that it won’t be breached soon.
“Not only are 700 wickets amazing, but 180 (187) Tests in themselves, just the longevity, his work ethic; shaping up day in and day out is absolutely incredible,” said McGrath during the final trials of the MRF Pace Foundation’s Ace of Pace talent hunt programme.
“21 years for fast bowlers is exceptional. He is setting a bar that no one else will achieve. He is 41, and the fact that he is still playing now, having the desire, attitude, and motivation to put himself through the pain of fast bowling day in and day out, is exceptional,” added the former Australian pacer.
