Yes because he's feeling confident and positive he is being sucked into the drive again, far too early in his innings in this case. It was his discipline in this area that got him back into some form and back scoring runs again, he must obviously be aware of this.
Was looking exclusively at that one over. The plan was laid out and it was completely ignored.
Not sure about that, just think he has left the ball very well and inevitably allowed the bowlers to come to him. If he leaves anything driveable outside off they do eventually get bored and don't want to waste the new ball and go much straighter, which has allowed him to milk them off his legs.
Yes I know what you're saying, and with Harris you don't need to force him back as he always hangs deep in his crease on the back foot.
All Anderson needs to do is master reverse swing like what Hoggard did in the back end of his career in Nagpur & Adealaide 06 when pitches are flat & his repertoire will be complete.
Think he has quite clearly worked on his driving and is much better than he was back in 06-07-08. But yes, he does need to shelve it earlier on in his innings. He seems to be having problems against the round-the-wicket line moreso than just the driving causing him problems.
Well yea thats true, his leaving has improved. But remembering how the tall bowlers like McGrath & Clark troubled him with the line first in Ashes 06/07, Morkel is the only one since the trouble him in that area.
From what I have seen him from in a little over 1 test, I think he is average. I like his bowling action, and he generates a fair bit of pace but he seems straight up and down to me. He doesn't swing it and is not really much of a seam bowler.
And learn not to walk around looking like a disaffected 5 year old when things aren't going so well.
And then, going to the kitchen to make some tea, guess what, a double strike by Steyn.........
