Anderson's magical spell

Anderson's most delivery pushes along the middle floor and goes out of the off-stump with a shaw. Murali Vijay was fooled by this. Anderson left the delivery of flower length with the fine leg of the ball. Vijay could not cope with the temptation to 'flick' the wrists. But that was the trap. The ball hit his bat stamped on Stumps. Rahul Dravid, however, was caught on the pitch after being out of the pitch. Anderson could not save his batting from Anderson's swing.

Anderson took a minimum of 5 wickets in an innings in the 26th Test in a Test career by picking Kuldeep Yadav and Ishant Sharma in the tail-enders of India. How much swings at Lord's 22nd have been swung on this day, it can be explained in a statistic - where the average swing at 0.93 degrees in other parts of the world, there is only 1.17 degree-more swings in England. But in the cloudy weather, Anderson-Ososara swings at an average of 1.71 degrees. Anderson is the master of this swing show's guru, it is not necessary to tell.

Anderson himself stood in front of a great milestone. He has 99 wickets in 23 Tests so far And if he gets only 1 wicket, Anderson will make the milestone of 100 wickets in a field as the first seamer in Test history. That is what is being done in India's second innings in the Lord's Test, it is now predicted.
