New Delhi: England great James Anderson is moving close to 600 wicket mark in tests with just 3 scalps to go. He is right now the highest Test wicket-taker among active players.
The man has 597 scalps to his name and is 38 years of age. He needs 3 more victims to enter the 600-club, the 4th bowler to do so and the first speedster. The man on his radar at the moment would be Anil Kumble who is at No. 3 with 619 victims.
