Anderson's Early Strikes Help England to Victory


Yes, James Anderson has been known to strike early in the day. He is a very experienced bowler and knows how to exploit the conditions in the morning when the ball is fresh. He is also very accurate, which means that he is able to put the batsmen under pressure from the start.

Here are some examples of times when James Anderson has struck early in the day:

  • In the 2010/11 Ashes series, Anderson took 5-13 in the first innings of the first Test at the Gabba. This helped England to bowl Australia out for 281 and set up a comfortable victory.
  • In the 2017/18 Ashes series, Anderson took 6-46 in the first innings of the second Test at Adelaide Oval. This helped England to bowl Australia out for 223 and set up a comprehensive victory.
  • In the 2019 World Cup, Anderson took 3-24 in the first innings of the final against New Zealand. This helped England to bowl New Zealand out for 241 and set up a famous victory.

Anderson is a very dangerous bowler in the morning, and he is always a threat to take early wickets. If he can get the ball to move in the air or off the seam, he can be very difficult to score against.
