It was disappointing to be left out of India tour, says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Anderson-c1705 – Cricket News Update
England’s pace spearhead, James Anderson, has disclosed that he was a bit upset when rested for the recent tour to India, where his side crashed to a 5-0 series whitewash.
Anderson was England’s key man in the journey to the top of Test rankings. He bagged 21 wickets in the four-Test home series against the World Champs and helped his team seal the numero uno status in the longest format of the sport.
However, he was given rest for the trip to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747, was the prime reason behind his omission from the squad.
Expressing disappointment over being rested for the tour to India, Anderson stated that he is now waiting for the big opportunity to go to the Sub-continent and prove his mettle.
"I was a bit disappointed when I got told I was being rested. Obviously, having a dodgy World Cup there, I wanted to go to India and prove I could do a job," the Daily Express quoted Anderson, as saying.
Despite being the front-line English bowler, the 29-year-old was not hesitant to accept the reality that his place in the troop is under massive threat.
He reasoned that there are so many talented guys coming up from the junior ranks and therefore, he will have to keep on doing well in order to retain his position in the national setup.
"I'm excited about the success of our bowling attack, but first and foremost, it keeps you on your toes trying to keep your place in the side. Part of you doesn't want to get rested for that reason because you know somebody is going to come and step up to
the plate," added the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lancashire-c806 fast bowler who is England’s seventh highest wicket-taker in Tests – 240 scalps in 63 games.
The Poms have already begun their preparations for the upcoming clash against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 at UAE, scheduled to be held at the start of next year. Since the Arab pitches are expected behave like the way Indian tracks do, Anderson will definitely go out to make
a point.
