After James Anderson: After James Anderson revealed that he will be using a new run-up in England’s upcoming five-game Test series against India, former pacer Darren Gough believes that it just shows about the veteran fast-bowler’s desire to carry on playing the longer format of the game.

Earlier this week, Anderson revealed to The Telegraph that he has used a public running track next to Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium and gone through speed drills to perfect his new bowling run-up. Anderson had a torrid time in the Ashes at home last year, picking up just five wickets from four matches at an average of 85.40.

"It just goes to show the desire to carry on playing. The only thing is when you’ve been doing something so long as Jimmy has, when you start quickening up you bring more injuries into play, more hamstring, calf, groin-type injuries.
