The Sri Lankan Captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 and England, scheduled for
July 9, 2011.
In the 4th ODI, Anderson broke the back of the Lankan batting by striking early in the innings and went on to grasp three important wickets which stranded their batting line up.
Anderson got rid of Dilshan, who was caught by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sahan-Hewa-Thilina-Kandamby-c87923 scored just six runs when he was caught in the slips by Graeme
Swann.
Dilshan believed they were too defensive in the fourth match which resulted in a set back as far as their batting was concerned. However, he hinted towards changed tactics for the last encounter, saying,“It might be to play some shots, who knows? It might
be different tactics (today).”
Anderson, the medium -fast bowler, has appeared in 146 ODIs for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 and has grabbed 197 wickets at an average of 30.91 runs per wicket with the best of 5 for 23.
The 28-year-old has played all four matches of the ongoing ODI series and held seven wickets at an excellent average of 20.14 runs per wicket, with the best of 4 for 18.
Dilshan acknowledged the devastating bowling of Anderson in the series and suggested his batsmen to counter him with dedication.
He further commented, “Anderson is the key man for their bowling attack, if we can play him, it might be we have a good chance to put some runs on the board.”
The series is levelled at 2-2 currently and the 5th match will be deciding one. Dilshan looks forward to wrapping up the series 3-2, but he has to lead the team from the front, something he has been unable to do so far.
