Australian pace legend Glenn McGrath has backed James Anderson to breach the 600-wicket barrier after the Englishman overtook him to become the most successful fast bowler in the history of Test cricket. Anderson cleaned up Mohammed Shami on Day five of the fifth and final Test at The Oval to help England win the game by 118 runs and pocket the five-match series 4-1.

The wicket enabled Anderson to overtake McGrath as the most successful fast bowler in Test history, with 564 wickets.He is now behind the spin trio of Muttiah Muralitharan (800), Shane Warne (708) and India's Anil Kumble (619) in the list of Test bowlers with most wickets. "Just to see Jimmy now, he looks fit and keen and running around, it depends on what he wants to do. He has gone past me and I think the next bar is 600 Test wickets," McGrath was quoted as saying by the 'BBC'.
