England pacer James Anderson on Monday registered his 1000th wicket in first-class cricket. The veteran pacer achieved the feat in the ongoing County Game against Kent while playing for Lancashire at Emirates Old Trafford. Anderson dismissed Zak Crawley, Jordon Cox, Oliver Robinson, Jack Leaning, Heino Kuhn, Matt Milnes, and Harry Podmore as Kent was reduced to 34/8 in the first innings.
As the pacer dismissed Kuhn, he registered his 1000th scalp in first-class cricket. In June, Anderson had added another feather to his already illustrious cap as he surpassed former skipper Alastair Cook to become England`s most-capped Test cricketer.
