Ashes 2017 (2nd Test): James Anderson has Plan B to tackle Steve Smith

By Athar Ansari November 30, -0001 • 00:00 AM View: 2655

Adelaide, Nov 30 (CRICKETNMORE) - After failing to tame Australia skipper Steve Smith in the Ashes opener at the Gabba, English pace spearhead James Anderson on Thursday revealed another strategy to keep the right-hander silent in the second Test, starting on Saturday.

"I just think you've almost got to take him out of the picture when you're bowling because if your eyeline is watching him and what he's doing, then I think it really distracts you from where you want the ball to go," Anderson told reporters here.
