"Jimmy Anderson, you give him a coconut, he'll swing it"
Team India are currently playing the five-match Test series against England. The first match of this series took place at Edgbaston, Birmingham which the hosts won by 31 runs. With the conditions aiding swing, the English pacers were top notch with the ball. Especially, veteran James Anderson was excellent under the circumstances with his ability to drift the ball away from the Indian batsmen and deceiving them.
Anderson tormented the Indian batsmen at Edgbaston and was impressive at Lord's, finishing the game with 9 wickets. Holding was very much impressed with Anderson's ability to swing the ball that he heaped praise on the Burnley born player, that even if Anderson is given a coconut he could swing it.
