Anthony said: "Reaching my 500th wicket on home ground was a real honour and felt especially significant returning from the injury that kept me out last year."
He also spoke about the club’s progress.
Anthony said: "The club is in the strongest position it has been for many years, with a fantastic group of juniors growing in confidence and beginning to make their mark in adult cricket."
Looking ahead, he said: "While I’m not setting a specific target for this season, I would love to reach 500 wickets for the 1st XI and hopefully share the field with my son, Ioan in the next couple of years.”
