Sky Cricket Podcast: James Anderson overtakes Ian Botham on Test wicket list

Cricket - SkySports Podcast

It seemed to take an eternity coming, but James Anderson's 384th Test wicket for England was worth the wait.

The Lancashire paceman overtook Sir Ian Botham at the top of the standings when he had Denesh Ramdin caught by captain Alastair Cook on day five of the drawn first Test in Antigua.

At stumps, Anderson joined David Gower and Botham to reflect on his achievement - the latest peak in a 100 Test career crammed with great memories.

On this edition we also find out why Bob Willis - third in the all-time list - believes Anderson should now set his sights on not only taking 400 Test wickets but 500!

Fellow former England captain Nasser Hussain - skipper when Anderson first burst onto the international stage at the end of 2002 - also reflects on the seamer's achievements.
