David Saker rates James Anderson higher than Dale Steyn ? Cricket news

England?s bowling coach, David Saker, is all praise for James Anderson and believes that the English spearhead is the most skilful bowler of the world.

The 30-year-old swing bowler burst into the scene of international cricket in 2002 and immediately made his mark at the highest level of the sport with his ability to move the ball in the air at will.

Anderson failed to cement his place in the Test team in the initial years of his career due to a number of fitness issues. However, the right-arm pacer has been a permanent member of the Test side over the last five years and has played an influential role in making England one of the best sides of the longer format of the game.

The English bowling coach understands that South Africa?s Dale Steyn is widely regarded amongst the best pacers of the modern era but feels that Anderson is more talented and when in full form, the right-armer is a true delight to watch.

?To me, he is the most skilful fast bowler in the world,? Saker said. ?I know Dale Steyn is an outstanding bowler, but when you watch the way Jimmy goes about things, he has more skills in his locker. Steyn might be a little quicker but watch Anderson deliver those skills and it's just mind-blowing.?

In the recently concluded opening Test of the two-match series against New Zealand at the Lord?s, the cricketer from Lancashire picked up seven wickets in two innings to complete his 300 scalps at the ultimate stage of the game. Anderson now has more than 550 wickets in international cricket and he is set for a lot more, taking into account his current form and fitness.

Saker further added that Anderson has a greater hunger for success and improvement as compared to most other bowlers.

?Jimmy keeps getting better. I don't know whether his figures say that, but he's the one player I've coached that is never satisfied with what he's got. For him it would be easy to be satisfied but he keeps working on things in training,? the bowling coach added.

The last Test of the series against the Black Caps begins on Friday, with Anderson keen to improve on his tally of Test victims.
