Anderson did not bowl at his best during the Ashes, and I think you know full well Seamer that he has played hardly any cricket due to being Englands 12th man for many months - and not getting a game at Lancashire.

He did not get the main blame from me for the Ashes loss, it was England's horrible batting, and a captain has no influence once a batsman is at the crease.
Had England played with this spirit in the Ashes, then it would not have been 5-0, I did not mind this defeat because at least England competed at last, yes this is the first time England have put up a fight on this tour.
