I used to watch Zaheer Khan: James Anderson
NEw Delhi: James Anderson, England’s greatest fast bowler with an unparalleled longevity and nearly 1000 international wickets, said he has learned a few elements of pace bowling, including reverse swing, from Indian great Zaheer Khan. At 41, Anderson continues to lead the England attack and is two short of becoming the first fast bowler to breach the 700-wicket mark in Tests. “For me, Zaheer Khan was someone I used to watch a lot to try and learn from. How he used the reverse swing, how he covered the ball when he ran in to bowl, that’s something I tried to sort of develop on the back of playing against him quite a few times here,” Anderson said.
