Stuart Broad believes long-time bowling partner James Anderson has 'grown as much as anyone' under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum and is bowling better at the age of 40 'than he was four years ago'.
Anderson is due to turn 41 midway through the final Test of this summer's Ashes, but seems to be getting better with age having picked up 28 wickets at just 17.21 apiece since celebrating his 40th birthday. And Broad, who has played alongside Anderson in 134 Test matches, does not expect him to slow down any time soon.
"Jimmy's incredibly competitive," Broad said. "That's his number one strength. He's probably the most competitive person I've seen bar Jos Buttler in any sport that he plays. But he's very driven. He's an addict to cricket, to be honest.
