The Ashes 2013: 1st Test, Day 4 - Five players to watch out for

1. James Anderson

James Anderson

James Anderson was tipped to be England’s biggest weapon in this series and he has lived upto that expectation with a five-for in the first innings. He tried to bowl some short stuff early on in the first innings but quickly corrected that mistake and was back to backing his own strengths by bowling full and getting the ball to swing.

The England team worked hard on the ball and the reverse swing was generated rather early in the innings. He will be all the more effective in the 4th innings as the Australian batsman try to chase a target in excess of 300. If Australia can tackle him and Graeme Swann, they will have some chance of making that record chase.
