The highly experienced English pacer James Anderson thinks the current English team, coached by Brendon McCullum and led by captain Ben Stokes, has something unique that he hasn’t been there for his 20-year international career before. He talks about the calmness which has been invented under Brendon and Ben duo.
“I have never been in a dressing-room before when we have chased 300 (299) on a pitch that is turning and everyone being so calm, believing we were going to chase them down,” said Anderson. “That for me, after 20 years of playing international cricket, I had never seen before.
“You always get a few jittery people but one to 11 and the staff included were just calm and believed. I think that belief can go such a long way, especially with the young players we have got. We’re trying to develop their confidence and experience, I think that will do wonders for them.”
