IND vs ENG: James Anderson Reveals a Secret About The Tips That He Was Taken From Zaheer Khan

James Anderson Reveals a Secret About The Tips That He Taken From Zaheer Khan: James Anderson is the inspiration for many fast bowlers as he knows about the reverse swing and he is the best. But when we ask him about these reverse swings, he says that he learned that reverse swings from Zaheer Khan.

Zaheer Khan was someone I used to watch a lot to try and learn: Anderson

“For me, Zaheer Khan was someone I used to watch a lot to try and learn from,” Anderson told JioCinema. “How he used the reverse swing, how he covered the ball when he ran into bowl, that’s something I tried to sort of develop on the back of playing against him quite a few times here.”

“With someone of his quality, you expect that standard from him. You know that reverse swing can play a big part in India and he’s a great exponent of it. He’s got a good pace is very accurate, and is very consistent.

That yorker we saw to Ollie Pope, he’s got that up his sleeve as well. It’s not a fluke that he’s got to number one in the world. He’s a world-class bowler and from our point of view we weren’t surprised that he put up a performance like that.”

He also says that,

“Yeah, I guess you do look at things like that, but to be honest, I just go with the feel of me and my body. I don’t feel like I’m 41 years and 200 days old. You know, I still feel young.

I can keep up with the young guys in training. I can still bowl at the speeds that I want to, I can still deliver the skills that I want to. So, for me, that’s the most important thing. Age is just a number and it’s pretty irrelevant from my thought process,”
