Tendulkar vs Anderson


Wasim Akram has just said that Sachin Tendulkar might not be able to complete his 100th international ton at Edgbaston. According to him, Sachin will get to the landmark in the fourth Test at Oval, where the wicket will be placid enough and India out of the pressure of a comeback.
But there’s another hurdle the Mumbai marauder has to cross before he can breast the tape.
James Anderson.
Amongst pacemen, the Englishman has got him the most times. He is just a couple away before he surpasses Muralitharan as the bowler to have got the best batsman of this generation on most occasions.
In the past, Anderson has frustrated his bunny by bowling an off-stump line, mostly back of a length and often good length.
The moment he’s pitched around the middle and leg, he’s been punished. Remember the 82 Sachin made during the 2007 series. Anderson let him off the hook by bowling on his pads.
But since then, he’s zeroed in on the right place mixing the movement to confuse the Mumbai star.
