James Anderson was a key member in a historic victory against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in second Test match of ongoing Ashes series.
Defeating Australian team of this era at their home ground in Test matches with an innings margin is not a feat many teams can achieve. England fast bowling attack, led by James Anderson, made this possible for the visitors. Anderson had to shorten his due
celebrations, and left for homeland for the birth of his second child.
Anderson bagged 6 important wickets of Australian batting line-up. On the last day of the second Test match he dismissed inform wicketkeeper batsman Brad Haddin and removed Ryan Harris next ball, who got http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-King-c41197 pair. His 2 wickets and an important catch
of Michael Hussey, which he celebrated in front of the Barmy Army present at the time in Adelaide Oval, earned him celebrity status.
England’s team director Andy Flower, confirmed Anderson’s departure back to England. Meanwhile, rest of the squad reached Melbourne where they play a warm-up match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Victoria-c859. He further clarified that quickie is expected to fly back to Australia ahead
of third Test match at WACA, Perth. Flower was not happy with this scenario, and said, “It is not ideal, it is not perfect but we try to get the balance right between our commitments to England and our responsibility to the individual and his family.”
Flower was worried about the jet lag the premier bowler will experience when he returns for the Perth Test. However, he remains positive that his ace attacker will be able to cope up with the situation. Injured Stuart Broad has already been ruled out of
the series, after being diagnosed with an injury to abdominal muscles.
If Anderson is not able to play in the next Test match, that would mean that England would be without their permanent new ball bowlers. This might just provide Australia with an opportunity to somehow claw their way back into the series.
