Anderson has 'moved with T20' despite 11-year gap
Lancashire T20 captain Keaton Jennings says it is "amazing" to be able to call upon the skills of James Anderson in the shortest form of the county has played Lancashire's last three T20 Blast matches - his first T20 cricket of any kind since 42-year-old - England's leading Test wicket-taker with 704 - has taken seven wickets with a best of 3-17 while conceding his runs at a rate of 6.45 per over. "When you have a guy like that in the dressing room, it's pretty silly not to pick his brain and his wealth of expertise," Jennings told BBC Radio Lancashire, external."To have him around is amazing." In each match, Anderson has bowled three overs in the powerplay, going against the modern tactics of changing it has backed his skills against batters looking to attack and take advantage of fielding restrictions in the first six Jennings acknowledges that the England great's skillset is still relevant, with Anderson's economy rate inside the top 10 in the competition so far."He's somehow moved with the times of T20 cricket without playing a game," said Jennings."That shows the level of care he's taken in his own cricket, his own preparation."He's bowling nice and quick, he's controlling areas, watching batters, following them, going wider when it's needed."When he does mis-execute, he doesn't seem rattled and he's straight back to what he needs to execute next ball."
