Bob Willis has backed James Anderson to go on to take 500 Test wickets after becoming England's all-time leading wicket taker in the longest form of the game.
Anderson surpassed Sir Ian Botham's record of 383 wickets when he dismissed Denesh Ramdin on the final day of the Three Lions' first Test against the West Indies in Antigua.
The England legend believes that Anderson can continue to excel at the highest level to extend his record to 500 wickets to join names such as Shane Warne, Muttiah Muralitharan and Glenn McGrath in reaching the milestone.
Willis told Sky Sports News: "I can't overestimate the scale of James Anderson's achievement – it is truly fantastic. It's quite something for a fast bowler to play 100 Test matches, but an incredible feat for Jimmy to get past Ian Botham's record.
"I must admit that when the likes of Darren Gough, Matthew Hoggard and Andrew Caddick came and went, I thought no-one would get up and past 250 Test wickets.
"But both Stuart Broad and James have sailed past that and fitness allowing, there's nothing to stop Jimmy going on to take 500 Test wickets."
England drew the first Test against the West Indies as Jason Holder scored a century on the final day to defy Alastair Cook's men.
