James Anderson surpassed Sir Ian Botham as England's highest Test wicket-taker with his 384th dismissal in his 100th match

Anderson: Ramdin's scalp set an England Test record

Anderson said: "Taking over from an English legend is a hugely proud moment for me.
"I love taking wickets for England. You pick up milestones along the way and it was a huge landmark for me picking up 100 Tests this week."
Botham, commentating on Sky Sports, said: "I couldn't be happier. I've enjoyed watching him bowl; he richly deserves it.
"He's a magnificent performer. When you are a swing bowler you've got to learn how to do it, and the ball he got the wicket with was a terrific delivery."
Asked how many wickets Anderson could take before retiring, Botham said: "He can do 450 easily."
Former England captain Michael Vaughan told Test Match Special: "What a bowler Jimmy Anderson has been for England - a joy to watch throughout the years."

Anderson, 32, had West Indies' Denesh Ramdin caught at first slip on the final day of the first Test in Antigua.
The seamer, who began the Test on 380 wickets, was mobbed by his team-mates as his family celebrated in the crowd.
Ramdin's departure left West Indies 294-7, but Jason Holder's unbeaten 103 helped them secure a draw.
Lancashire's Anderson, who made his Test debut in 2003, has helped England win three Ashes series and rise to the top of the Test rankings in 2011

How Anderson made history...

All-rounder Botham took 383 wickets in 102 Tests between 1977 and 1992, as well as scoring 5,200 runs at an average of 33.54.
Anderson bettered Botham's tally in two matches fewer as England pressed for victory at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in the first Test of the three-match series.
Having taken two wickets in the first innings, he had Marlon Samuels taken at gully midway through the morning session to move level with Botham.

Gwyneth Paltrow Fails Food Stamp Challenge

Gwyneth Paltrow had been challenged by chef Mario Batali

Gwyneth Paltrow has lasted only four days after being challenged to live for a week on $29 - the equivalent of what low-income families in the US get in food stamps.

The Hollywood mega star and life-style guru said she broke the pledge to have "some chicken and fresh vegetables (and in full transparency, half a bag of black liquorice)".

Days ago Paltrow posted a photo on social media to show what she had bought with $29 (£16) - or slightly more because "things like avocados and limes are cheap in Southern California".



"As I suspected, we only made it through about four days," she wrote.

"My perspective has been forever altered by how difficult it was to eat wholesome, nutritious food on that budget, even for just a few days - a challenge that 47 million Americans face every day, week, and year."

The actress said that many "hardworking mothers are being asked to do the impossible: Feed their families on a budget which can only support food businesses that provide low-quality food".

"I'm not suggesting everyone eat organic food from some high horse in the sky. I'm saying everyone should be able to afford fresh, real food," she added, before calling for equal wage for women.

Paltrow, a 42-year-old mother of two whose lifestyle advice sometimes draws criticism and mockery, announced last week that she had taken up the challenge from her friend celebrity chef  Mario Batali on behalf of the NYC Food Bank.

McCullum, Smith pummel Mumbai Indian

Aakash Chopra: Two Man of the Match awards in three games for Ashish Nehra…well done, mate. Still one of the best Indian pace bowlers. #CSK #IPL

G Rajaraman: Who will stop CSK? And, who will lift Mumbai Indians now? No point blaming their bowlers since they didn’t manage the attack well. #MIvCSK

Dean Jones: The @ChennaiIPL completely , @mipaltan tonight!!! #IPL

Harsha Bhogle: I’m afraid this was a knockout. 183 was not a score to be tossed away nonchalantly. But it was. #CSKvs#MI #PepsiIPL

Freddie Wilde: That was brutal from #CSK. Meanwhile, #MIs bowling was as concerning as their batting. #IPL #MIvCSK

Nehra: ‘I am just working hard. T20 is a format where you don’t get wickets when you are bowling well. It’s important to pick wickets with the new ball. You have to be aggressive if you want to pick wickets. It is a batsman’s game, but I still believe bowlers are the ones who win you matches. If you bowl a good line and length up front, you set the tone. I just try to do the things which I am good at.’

Nehra is the Man of the Match for his bowling figures of 4-0-23-3.

Dhoni: ‘I was more worried about my bowling because it’s a good wicket. We don’t really get surprised if the opposition promotes someone up the order. Bhajji batted well in the last game and maybe that’s why they promoted him. Our plan was to bowl dot balls at him. At times you want to bat first if the unit wasn’t clicking. The reason why we wanted to bowl was because of the dew factor. I felt the first few overs were brilliant from our bowlers. We just want the guys to stay in a positive frame of mind.’
This is a big win for CSK. They’ve made a mockery of a big run chase and won the game with 20 balls to spare. Rohit Sharma and Co. didn’t have answers to the onslaught from McCullum and Smith. The deadly duo muscled the ball to all corners. The fact that even the likes of Malinga was smashed for 33 runs in his first two overs tells about their brutal hitting. Smith completed his fifty off 22 balls and although Harbhajan removed both the openers in the same over, CSK had the match in their bag with the start they got. Raina then got some runs and sealed the game alongside Bravo. CSK were 90/0 in 6 overs, the second best powerplay score in the history of IPL.

Rohit: ‘Pretty disappointed with the way we bowled and our attitude on the field wasn’t right. I thought 183 was a good score, but we didn’t execute our plans with the ball. There’s no way they could score 90 runs in the first six overs. I think that’s where we probably lost the game. We’ve been trying and possibly doing everything but it’s not coming off, but they played well too. At the end of the day you need to get the combination right, that’s what we were trying to do. I know it’s not working out. We know we’ve got to find the right balance. If you don’t win, nothing counts. Pretty disappointed to lose the game. We are not thinking anything right now, relax, take it easy and then think about our next match.’

Pamela Anderson Serves Veggie Meals In US Jail

The actress hopes the eating initiative will be a model for other prisons

Inmates at a prison in Arizona got a shock when Pamela Anderson turned up to serve lunch.

The former Baywatch star and animal rights activist was there to show support for Maricopa County Jail's vegetarian meal programme.

Anderson, who is a spokesperson for the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), told reporters she was impressed with what she saw.

"I think it's very helpful and encouraging to give people the chance to eat compassionately and make non-violent choices when it comes to their eating habits."

The correction centre in Phoenix stopped serving meat to the more than 8,000 inmates nearly a year and a half ago.

Some have criticises Anderson for aligning herself with Joe Arpaio, America's self-proclaimed "toughest sheriff" and a controversial figure who has been accused of racially profiling Latinos.

But the star focused on the meal initiative, saying she hoped the programme would be a model for prisons across the country.

Sheriff Arpaio said the programme has saved around $200,000 (£135,000) of taxpayer's money per year.

Prisoners are given a peanut butter sandwich with oranges and crackers for brunch and a hot meal of different vegetable and soy dishes for dinner.
