Oliver Hadlee Pearch’s “Lyndsey Wixson, LA,” shows a beaming woman sitting in a car, bursting to the brim with flowers.

In 106 matches he has taken 389 wickets and sits behind only the great Sir Richard Hadlee on New Zealand's all-time wicket-takers list.

Before them, three of the best pace bowlers ever seen - Malcolm Marshall, Imran Khan and Richard Hadlee - plus Pakistan’s Abdul Qadir, the best leg-spinner of the 30 years before Warne and Kumble.

Some will say Anderson’s third place in the all-time list of leading Test wicket-takers is inflated by the number of games he played, that he does not deserve to be above fellow pacers Glenn McGrath, Dale Steyn, Richard Hadlee or Wasim Akram.

Of all visiting bowlers in Asia, only two - Australia's Glenn McGrath and New Zealand's Richard Hadlee - have ever had a better average over a seven-Test sequence.
