http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Anderson-c1705 hopes to take advantage of the Trent Bridge swing - Cricket News Update
The much hyped ongoing Test series, between hosts http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, added in more news after star English bowler, James Anderson, revealed that the upcoming fixture’s venue, Trent Bridge, may come as a ‘happy hunting ground’ for the player.
The second Test game is scheduled to kick off at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, on July 29, 2011, as England gear up to face the Indian tourists in a battle to secure the number 1 spot on the World’s Test ranking.
However, Anderson recently cited that the Trent Bridge ‘swing’ may come as a bonus for the spearhead, and might aid him in adding more wickets to his current impressive bag of wickets.
Anderson stood out as the highlight of the opening Test, where the English pacer, coupled with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806, marked a landmark performance at the much anticipated 2000th Test game at Lord’s.
The bowler managed to offer a major blow to the Indian batting line up, that took on a massive chase posted by the English batsmen. Anderson’s 5 wickets haul aided the side in earning the first and the legendary win on the series.
As for Pietersen, the English dangerman and middle-order batsman went on to score a double ton while remaining not out during the opening innings of the match.
However, for the upcoming bout, Anderson stands determined to offer more might since Trent Bridge has always proved to be a lucky charm for the English bowler.
His strengths at the venue were truly displayed during the last year’s Test victory against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755, where Anderson went on to secure an impressive total of 11 wickets for 71 runs.
Apart from his last summer’s achievement, Anderson is also the current fourth highest Test wicket taker at Trent Bridge with an impressive number of 28 and the highest One Day International (ODI) wicket taker with a sum of 14 wickets.
As for the upcoming fixture, Anderson stands confident, believing that he may offer resistance to the Indians by making use of Trent Bridge’s swing, as his side hopes to repeat their performance from the opening win, in an attempt to earn a 2-0 lead, that
may aid England in securing the top spot on the Test rankings.
