Even though a determined Ish Sodhi neglected England to win the second Test at Christchurch, the lanky pacer James Anderson achieved a record that puts him in a list of all time greats.
During the fourth innings of the match, Anderson surpassed Legendary Courtney Walsh to become the most over-worked pacer in Test history. Walsh had bowled 30,019 in his career, picking 519 wickets, while Anderson now has 30,074 balls, with 531 wickets in his name.
Now, Anderson is fourth in the list of players to have bowled most deliveries, that is headed by Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan.
Murali has bowled a whopping 44,039 balls in Test cricket, and has picked 800 wickets.
