Cricket Special Report: ‘I have learned good bowling skills from Zaheer khan’ -James Anderson
England’s bowler, James Anderson has said that he has learned some good “swing bowling skills” from Zaheer Khan. England has shown complete professional performance in the Ashes series and has managed to win the series in a convincing manner. One bowler
who has bowled well for England in the Ashes series is James Anderson.
In the Ashes series, Anderson has bowled some beautiful spells of fast bowling and has troubled the Australian batsmen throughout the series. In the Ashes series, England has benefitted a lot from their opening bowlers and almost all their bowlers have delivered
at the right time for them. Anderson has bowled with a lot of “swing” in the Ashes series and has moved the ball a lot in his early spells. England has benefitted a lot from Anderson’s bowling and his initial bowling spells have helped England in dismissing
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 for low totals.
James Anderson was of the view that during England’s last tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, Zaheer Khan was quite successful in hiding the ball from the batsman and made the batsman clue less in finding out the swing of the ball. Zaheer Khan is also a bowler who has a massive
control over the swing bowling and in the Durban Test, he was among the wicket takers for India. It is no surprise that James Anderson learned these skills from Zaheer khan, as Zaheer has been playing for India for more than 10 years and has a lot of experience
under his belt.
During the second test at Durban, Zaheer Khan bowled well for India and moved the ball massively in his spells. He was quite successful in troubling the Proteas batsmen early in their innings and did not allow them to score freely of his bowling. Anderson’s
bowling in the Ashes series was no different Zaheer’s, as he bowled with a lot of venom and bowled some exceptional out swingers. He was one of the main reasons of Australia’s defeat in Melbourne, as he took 4 wickets in Australia’s first innings and took
the advantage away from them of scoring a good first innings total.
This is the impact swing bowling has on the opposition, as the bowlers who bowl consistent swing usually end up in taking important wickets of the opposition at crucial times. Anderson further said that body language is a factor which a swing bowler must
keep in check all the time, and it is quite necessary for the bowler to look positive during his spells.
