England vs Pakistan: 5 players from England to look out for

#3 James Anderson

James Anderson

He is going to be 36 by the time the English summer ends but James Anderson seems to be an ageless warrior and his performance in this short series against Pakistan will again be the key to England’s fortunes. With 531 wickets to his name, he is his nation’s highest wicket-taker and he would like to add may more to his tally, starting with the first at Lord’s this Thursday.

His ability to generate swing with the new ball is legendary but at the same time, he is an excellent exponent of reverse swing and is a deceptive bowler to face when the ball gets old. He is going to be a very tough prospect for Pakistan’s young batting line-up but at the same time, it would be interesting to see how the warrior continues to cope with the rigors of the longest formats of the game.
