India and England There was an exciting start for both the teams in the second match of the five-match Test series between India and India. After losing the first Test, Team India wanted to perform better in the Visakhapatnam Test and the team has done that so far. Team India’s batsmen scored a total of 396 runs in the first innings.
Meanwhile, as soon as the first day of the Test match ended, many people came forward to appreciate the performance of veteran fast bowler James Anderson. The 41-year-old player performed brilliantly on the first day of the second Test and gave runs at an economy of 1.76. His performance also impressed former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar.
Sanjay Manjrekar praised James Anderson fiercely
Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, Sanjay Manjrekar said, “He is a reminder of the legacy of great fast bowlers we have had over the years. He is at the end of his career, yet, on a pitch where there was nothing for him, he kept the Indian batsmen trapped outside the off stump. Ultimately one batsman (Gill) was caught out by the wicketkeeper. It is a big thing for this to happen on Indian pitches.
The former cricketer further said, “He showed his class and his economy rate tells you how accurate he is as a bowler. And I like the way England use it. We feel he is not bowling enough these days but he is not playing that much.”
Apart from this, Manjrekar also said that whenever Anderson comes on the field, it always reminds him of Anderson’s old times when the bowler was at his peak. They said that, “Every time you see Anderson bowling, it reminds you of his old days when he was at his peak in Test cricket.”
