Anderson rules out Warner sledging
Print Edition
WILY paceman James Anderson said England has no intention of provoking a sledging war with Australian firebrand David Warner in today’s high-profile World Cup opener.
Anderson, who has a reputation of getting under the skin of Australian players, played a straight bat to questions over whether or not he would be targeting Warner during the tournament opener in Melbourne.
Warner is skating on thin ice with his disciplinary transgressions with the International Cricket Council warning of a crackdown on aggressive sledging during the World Cup. Anderson said there was no England plans to trigger more disciplinary problems for the explosive Warner.
“Having played against him (Warner) in the past, I don’t think he needs too much encouragement,” Anderson said.
“We’re going out there to concentrate on what we do, we’re going to try to be aggressive with the ball up front all the way through the innings and try and take wickets. Our main job is to get them out, not to rile them up, so we’ll be concentrating on that.”
Anderson has a history of disciplinary trouble and last year was cleared of a serious misconduct charge following an incident with India’s Ravindra Jadeja in the Trent Bridge pavilion, thus avoiding a possible four-game ban.
Warner was twice fined by the ICC for verbal clashes with India during the recent test and one-day series.
