Reverse swing plays a key role in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Anderson-c1705 – Cricket News Update
Having played a huge role in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013’s success in the recently-finished Test series against India, James Anderson is over the moon with his performance and expressed that reverse swing plays a huge role in the sub-continent.
The 30-year-old cricketer is considered to be one of the finest pacers of the present-day sport, playing a huge role in England’s revived fortunes in Test cricket and winning two previous Ashes.
Anderson however, has been below par on flat tracks in past, miserably failing to deliver the goods in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Cricket World Cup 2011 in the sub-continent.
The cricketer from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lancashire-c806 however, raised his game during the series against India, picking up 12 wickets in four matches. The fast bowler was named as the Player of the Match in the fourth Test at Ahmedabad because of his tremendous spell in the home team’s first innings, grabbing four wickets after giving away 81 runs in his 32 overs. Anderson displayed high-quality pace bowling, troubling the hosts with reverse swing.
While expressing his views during the post-match presentation ceremony, the spearhead of the English bowling attack said that spinners do play a significant role in Indian conditions but the seamers can also make an impression as the ball gets scuffed up due to dry outfields, assisting reverse swing.
“People come over here and think the spinners are going to get all the wickets but I wanted to show seamers have a job to do as well. Reverse swing played a key part and we executed our plans well,” said the fast bowler.
Anderson has so far represented England in 77 Tests, 164 One Day Internationals and 19 T20s, picking up more than 500 victims at the highest stage of the game. According to a number of sporting analysts and former cricketers, the Lancashire player is one of the best pacer England has ever produced.
He added, “The beauty of bowling short spells means you can give it your all and then get a rest. It's been amazing, we've been impressed with the crowds and enjoyed embracing the culture. It really gives you a lift to hear all the people cheering at the end of the day.”
