James Anderson's bowling ability is often taken for granted, says England captain Alastair Cook.
Lancashire paceman Anderson, 32, became England's leading Test wicket-taker during the drawn first Test against West Indies in Antigua.
"Sometimes we take Jimmy for granted," Cook said. "He has delivered for the last six or seven years on a consistent basis and we expect him to bowl perfectly every time.
"He has never let us down."
Anderson now has 384 Test wickets, and Cook believes the fact the swing bowler has now overhauled Sir Ian Botham's previous record of 383 should count in his favour.
"It's a relief for Jimmy," added Cook. "Counting down to any milestone definitely plays on your mind."
The second game of the three-Test series in West Indies begins on Tuesday in Grenada.
A return for Moeen
Spin-bowling all-rounder Moeen Ali could return from injury to replace James Tredwell in the England team, and would likely bat at number eight following good performances in the first Test of the series from Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler.
Worcestershire's Moeen is seen as England's first-choice slow bowler after taking 19 wickets at an average of 23 against India last summer.
He also has a Test century to his name, and vice-captain Ian Bell believes the 27-year-old left-hander will strengthen the batting line-up and provide extra firepower if the top order can lay a solid platform.
"Mo is a quality batter and bowler, so we will have to fit him in somewhere," said Bell, 33, who hit his 22nd Test hundred in the first Test. "With Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler, that is an exciting lower order.
"If we can get off to a good start, they're going to be worth watching - especially if Stokesy plays like he did the other day.
"They'll give a lot of entertainment over the next few months. To be a senior player in the middle of that exciting young group is a nice place to be."
