600 test wickets. An absolute legend. I was at Lords when he took his 500th three years ago and he received a magnificent standing ovation. Such a shame that only around 100 people or so would have witnessed such a magnificent achievement. Onwards to 700 now.

Poll:

Where will Clive put QPR in his new season preview

He's receiving accolades from all around the World of cricket at the moment and rightly so, what an achievement.

" 'It's ridiculous'
Lancashire coach Glen Chapple on James Anderson: “I’m not sure there is any context for an achievement like Jimmy’s. It’s ridiculous, really, 600 Test wickets in 18 seasons.

“He’s got an amazing talent, but it’s the work ethic, dedication and discipline he’s shown to stay at the top for so long. He constantly strives to get better, he’s come back from injury, and he’s never really taken a backward step.

“Obviously he deserves massive credit. But, as a fellow professional and a coach, it’s great to see someone put in that amount of effort. It’s brilliant to watch his skills, his determination, his belief and his competitiveness on the field."

My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.
