England pacer James Anderson expressed his thoughts on the New Zealand’s bowling unit and said that the sensational bowling by the visiting team was just unlucky, otherwise they bowled beautifully
Anderson expressed his sympathy for the New Zealand bowlers, saying, “‘I think it’s horrible,” he said. “I don’t want to think of someone coming at me like that. I thought New Zealand bowled really well to be honest, especially that spell when they got us 55 for 6, it was one of the best opening spells I’ve seen for a long time. But the confidence our batters have got at the moment – they’re fearless and we saw the way they all played. They just want to progress the game, I guess.”
He also mentioned that their pretty mediocre performances might have been influenced by the Dukes ball’s condition as well as the pitches. He acknowledged that he found it frustrating to watch the third Test from the stands as players on both teams kept criticising the ball’s shape.
