Anderson’s video is once again in the news. As always the fans have a lot to say.
James Anderson spoke against Ashwin’s actions in a podcast with the BBC and said that it was against the spirit of the game.
The second Test match between India and England saw some heated verbal exchanges between the two sides. It all started when Jasprit Bumrah bowled a 10-ball spell to James Anderson on the third day – a strategy that did not go down well with the England pacer. After this James Anderson was seen engaged in a verbal war with many Indian cricketers. When Shami and Bumrah came out to bat, it distracted England’s attention in many ways.
Anderson also engaged in a joke with Virat Kohli and the stump mic gave the Indian captain a real take on the England pacers. Now an old video of Anderson is going viral on social media in which he can be seen cropping a picture of Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.
They do this. Then his supporters talk about the spirit of cricket. Don’t know how low they can go! When I said the British deserve to get sledging from the Indians (Kohli and Bumrah in particular), I meant it and rightly so. I pic.twitter.com/tJTUEao144

We need to bring our mind back to IPL 2019 when R Ashwin Manked Jos Buttler in the match between Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals. Butler’s wicket in that match was the turning point as Punjab won the match, but Ashwin’s action left the cricketing world divided.
James Anderson spoke against Ashwin’s actions in a podcast with the BBC and said that it was against the spirit of the game.
After the show ended, a video was shared by podcast host Greg James, where James Anderson was seen shredding Ashwin’s picture using a manual shredder.
Anderson’s video is once again in the news amidst all the drama at Lord’s. As always the fans have a lot to say. “I respect him as a cricketer, but not as a human being. If he continues his same attitude, he will lose all my respect,” wrote one user.
I respect him as a cricketer but not as a human being if he continues with this attitude, he will lose all my respect.
