Anderson admits doubts about bowling after Hughes death
London: England pacer James Anderson has said “doubts” surfaced in his mind about bowling in the wake of Australian batsman Phillip Hughes’s death.
Hughes was struck by a bouncer in a domestic match Nov 25 and died two days later from its effects.
“In the week after, I was having huge doubts about how I’d go about bowling and whether I’d want to bowl the short ball,” Anderson was quoted as saying by bbc.com Tuesday.
Anderson participated in England XI’s 216-run win against Australian Capital Territory XI Monday, ahead of the tri-series Down Under also involving India.
Anderson, however, said he doesn’t see bowlers around the world changing their approach.
“I don’t see it changing the way bowlers go about their business,” the 32-year-old said.
“It was a freak accident and a huge tragedy, and the game has got to carry on. I’ve heard a lot of Australians say that’s what Phillip would have wanted.”
Anderson is in England’s World Cup squad.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
