Anderson鈥檚 great escape

England fast bowler James Anderson got a taste of the 鈥榗hin-music鈥 that he is more used to dishing out, courtesy of a golf shot gone horribly wrong, but emerged from the incident on Sunday with his smile intact. Playing with his fellow paceman Stuart Broad at the 27-hole Stoke Park golf course in Buckinghamshire, Anderson鈥檚 miscued shot in the rough rebounded off tree roots and caught him straight in the face. Broad, who filmed his teammate鈥檚 self-inflicted blow from a few meters behind, reacted in shock to the ball hitting Anderson. However, on finding that his bowling partner was alright, Broad posted the video on Twitter with a series of laughing emojis, reassuring England fans. Anderson later retweeted the clip and made light of the freak incident saying that it had not put him off golf and he had not lost any teeth. England鈥檚 players are enjoying some rest ahead of the second test against India at Lord鈥檚 on Thursday. The host leads the five-match series 1-0 after its thrilling 31-run victory in the first test.
