James Anderson has delivered the best at 37 – Stuart Broad

At 37, Anderson still is in good shape and has bowled the best spells he has bowled over the last three years of his entire career and Broad wants to follow Anderson’s footprints. He added that James Anderson is raring to go to make things fall in place for him and the team.

Stuart Broad and James Anderson are the leading wicket-takers for England in the Test format of the game. Most of their wickets came when they bowled in the tandem for the country. To be precise, they bagged 851 wickets for England when they shared the place in the playing XI.

“I’m someone who never really looks too far ahead. I think if you look towards the end of your career you slow down as a sportsman. You stop trying to improve, stop driving yourself forward. ‘I look a month at a time at the moment – I feel fit, I feel fresh, my fitness testing is as strong as it has ever been, which is a good sign.”

“That old saying is that age is just a number and I feel really good. Jimmy is an inspiration for me – he is 37, he is in physically great condition and he has bowled the best he has bowled over the last three years of his whole career. Why can’t I do that? Why can’t I play to that sort of age and keep improving? That’s got to be my driver, the thing that pushes me on,” Broad signed off.
