• Record wicket taker has no interest in winding down now
Jimmy Anderson has admitted that thoughts of retirement could hit him out of the blue, as he believes happened to Glenn McGrath when the great Australian called time on his all-conquering career at the end of the 2006-07 Ashes.
But after passing McGrath’s record of 563 Test wickets – the previous highest tally by a seam bowler – the 36-year-old has no interest in winding down, expressing a desire to tour Sri Lanka this winter amid talk he or Stuart Broad could be rested.
