Anderson was included in the second Test for England.
On Thursday, the second Test will begin at the Adelaide Oval.
The pink ball is not a given in Australia, according to James Anderson, and England paceman. The second Test between England and Australia will begin on Thursday in Adelaide.
When asked if the pink ball will swing in Australia, England pacer James Anderson responded on Wednesday that it isn’t a foregone conclusion. The second Test between England and Australia will begin on Thursday in Adelaide. Australians took a 1-0 lead in the series after winning the first Test by nine wickets. “I’ve had some success with [the pink ball] in the past, but it’s a little erratic. Is it guaranteed that it will swing around corners or seams? No, it is not. We know this is a good pitch and that it won’t do much if the sun is out “Anderson was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
“Even if it does nothing during the day, it might not be as productive. If you’re a new-ball bowler, you need to give it a whirl to see if it works. There’s nothing wrong with being a little more protective in this situation. Attack a little more strongly if it is swinging. To be honest, it’s no different from any other Test match. We’ll attempt to keep up with it by reading it as we go “she said.
Pat Cummins, Australia’s Ashes captain, announced the team for the second Ashes Test on Wednesday.
Cricket.com.au reports that Jhye Richardson will replace the injured Josh Hazlewood in the day-night Test at Adelaide, while David Warner is fit to play.
“As a result, I’ve witnessed all of the pink-ball Tests that have taken place in this country, whether in person or from afar. Hopefully, I’ll be able to pull off something like that in the future. We’ve learned from that [performance] and we practice that it may swing around at any time of day “Anderson mentioned this.
“It’s a terrific place to be. In Adelaide, cricket is a huge part of the culture, and the renovations they’ve made to the ground are spectacular. It’s now an incredible arena. It’s a great place for the men to hang out and play. We’re just hoping to put up a nice show to try to get back to having more good games than bad for me “he went on to say.
