James Anderson insists he will be fit to play a role in Englands Test tour of
India next month, even though he is unlikely to start bowling again for another
three weeks as he continues his recovery from a long-term shoulder injury.
Zay Jones Jersey .Speaking at Lords ahead of
the NatWest OSCAs, Anderson admitted his frustration at missing out on the
Bangladesh leg of Englands campaign, following a stress fracture of his left
shoulder blade that caused him to miss the first Test against Pakistan in
July.However, he took umbrage at the suggestion that - at the age of 34 and with
463 Test wickets to his name in a 14-year England career - his body is beginning
to struggle with the intensity of his international workload.I feel fine,
Anderson told ESPNcricinfo. Its a frustrating injury where everything feels
good, the rest of my body feels great, but as soon as I try to bowl Ive got a
bit of pain there. Its something thats going to take a few more weeks to rest
and recover. Ive got another scan in three weeks to see if its healed enough for
me to start bowling.Im not going to miss the entire trip, no, he said. Im very
confident Im going to be involved in the India series, it is a frustrating
injury, something I want to get right, but it does happen in cricket, in sport,
you get injured, youve just got to deal with it, and hopefully I can get as fit
as possible as soon as possible.Despite Andersons optimism, the timescale is a
concern, with England facing five Tests against India in the space of six weeks,
starting in Rajkot on November 9, one week after the conclusion of the
Bangladesh tour.Anderson has not bowled in a competitive fixture since the
fourth Test against Pakistan at The Oval in August, and with no warm-up games
scheduled for the early weeks of the India leg, there will be scant opportunity
for him to regain his match fitness ahead of one of the toughest assignments in
Test cricket.What is more, having not missed an England Test through injury
since the Sri Lanka series in 2011 (at Edgbaston in 2012, he was rested
alongside Stuart Broad for a dead-rubber against West Indies) Anderson has now
had to sit out four of Englands last 16 Tests - two against Australia in the
2015 Ashes, and one each against South Africa and Pakistan.His situation is such
that Andrew Strauss, the director of England cricket, admitted after the squads
arrival in Bangladesh earlier this week that he didnt know whether to expect
Andersons return at any stage of the tour, adding that he may require careful
management over the next 12 months if he is to survive a hectic schedule that
culminates in next years Ashes tour of Australia.Anderson, however, disagreed
vehemently with that assessment - much as he had done during the Pakistan
series, when his protestations of fitness ahead of the Lords Test were
over-ruled by Englands selectors and medical staff.No, I dont think like that at
all, he said. Ive had a couple of injuries here and there in the last 18 months,
which is pretty much all Ive had in my career. I dont think thats going to deter
me from wanting to play in every single game that I possibly can.I love playing
the game, I love playing for England and I dont want to miss any cricket. Im
sure that the management and medical team will have different opinions to me,
but well cross that bridge when we come to it down the line.I dont think my body
has let me down in any shape or form, he added. I feel as fit as I ever have, I
feel very strong, the rest of my body Ive been working hard on, Ive done a lot
of running, and Im confident that I can come back fit.Theres little doubt that
England would dearly love to have Anderson back for what promises to be an
intense contest, as India - the newly-crowned No.1 Test team - seek to avenge
their home-and-away defeats in their last two series against England.In spite of
those who maintain that Anderson loses his impact away from Englands green
seamers, his record in India stands up to scrutiny - 22 wickets in seven Tests
at 29.81, including matchwinning spells in Mumbai in 2006 and Kolkata in 2012.
He knows that his experience with the new ball could be crucial in helping to
guide the fortunes of a talented but largely untested attack.Do I have to prove
myself? he said. Ive enjoyed bowling out there, its a huge challenge as a seam
bowler, and I think that gives you more fulfilment and satisfaction if you do do
well.Certainly myself and Stuart [Broad], having been there before, well need
that experience when it comes to playing in that series, as well have plenty
bowlers who wont have been there before, so well have to help the guys settle
into that environment as quickly as possible.Recent contests between England and
India have been understandably feisty affairs, and Anderson - who became
embroiled in an ugly row with Ravi Jadeja during the last series in 2014 -
expects this next campaign to be little different.We are two teams that play
with great passion, he said. I watched the India-New Zealand series recently and
you could see the passion the India side has got, led by Virat Kohli.We are a
very similar team in that respect. We go out there wanting to win and we play
with a lot of passion. And when two teams play like that, then inevitably you
are going to get some fieriness on the field.As for the Jadeja row, he added:
Thats in the past. We shook hands at the end of the series and, for me, that was
the end of it. And I think for him as well too. Im sure there will be battles
between individuals when we are out there, but hopefully it will be with bat and
ball.In the meantime, however, the focus will be on Englands fortunes in
Bangladesh, and in Andersons absence, it may fall to the breakthrough star of
the English summer, Chris Woakes, to exploit what little movement may be on
offer on what are expected to be slow and low wickets at Chittagong and
Dhaka.What he brings with bat and ball is crucial to the balance of our team,
said Anderson. Hes an amazing talent, he can swing the ball both ways, he can
reverse the ball, and hes got pace so hes got everything you need to be
successful.And hes been working on subtle variations - offcutters, legcutters -
that you need out there. He is crucial to the balance of our team, he brings
depth, and Im sure hell go from strength to strength in the next few years.James

. -- Al Jefferson found a groove just in time for the Charlotte Bobcats. RIO DE
JANEIRO -- The winds of change are blowing at the Rio badminton arena. Actually,
those are just the gusts from the air conditioning vents: Theyre cold and theyre
strong and they could pose a problem for some of the best players on the
planet.After all, Olympic glory will be determined by a few feathers -- more
precisely, by the flight of the 16 goose feathers stuck to the light,
leather-covered round cork of the shuttle.Badminton players call these winds
drifts, caused by strong air conditioning and currents that arise when hot,
humid air enters from open doors and meets colder air inside an arena.Drifts can
swirl in from the side, above and below. They can stop and start or blast away
steadily, and do funny things to a badminton shuttle, spinning it out of a
rackets path or causing a shot that should have landed in to land out.Simply
turning off the air conditioning doesnt work because sweat -- on the racket, in
the eyes, on the floor -- can be as big a problem as drifts.No venue is perfect,
and theres no way to completely kill drifts, although players change sides
during a match to try to compensate. Gripes about drift are part of badminton,
even at the last Olympics in England, where the modern version of the game was
developed in the 19th century.One complaint in Rio is that the multipurpose
Riocentro pavilion where the badminton matches are being held wasnt built with
the sport in mind. Dedicated badminton stadiums, like the ones the superstars
are used to playing in, usually do a better job dealing with drifts, placing AC
vents and doors in a way that minimizes air currents.Players say the drifts in
Riocentro change depending on which side of the court they play on. Drifts also
vary from court to court, with some saying the middlle of the pavilions three
courts is worse than the side courts.
Tre Davious White Jersey. Experience might be
the best antidote to drifts.Veteran players, especially those who play the
professional tour in Asia, where heat and humidity often mean high AC in the
stadiums, tend to handle drift better.They compensate for it, they get used to
it, Estonian Raul Must, world No. 45, said after a loss to Jan O. Jorgensen, the
world No. 5, from Denmark. The drift made it harder for me. One side, it was
slow; the other side was faster. So it can be one meter shorter than what you
think on the slow side, and one meter longer on the other side.Others also
acknowledged the drifts in Riocentro, but noted that everyone had practiced in
the venue for days before the competition started and so knew how to adjust to
the bad spots.Perhaps the best strategy for drifts? Just dont think about them.I
would be lying if I said it wasnt a factor. It is, but its the same everywhere,
Jorgensen said. I dont want to worry about something that I cant control a
single thing about.Drift is much more of a factor when top players face each
other because the margins of error between the elite are so narrow, said Soren
Opti, a 19-year-old from Suriname who was crushed early on by world No. 1 Lee
Chong Wei, of Malaysia.The drifts in Rio were tough but by no means the worst
hes seen, said Opti, ranked No. 318 internationally.During one tournament in the
Dominican Republic, he said, a passing thunderstorm was so strong that rain
leaked inside from the arenas roof.When I hit the shuttle, it would blow back at
me, Opti said.---Follow Foster Klug at www.twitter.com/apklug
