New Zealand v South Africa - Action Replay

The English press are quick to hail virtually anyone who can run 12 consecutive steps as the next fast-bowling find of the century. But in James Anderson's case, they have more reason to feel justified. A young tyro who can bowl straighter and faster than any of England's bowlers in recent memory, Anderson impressed observers during the VB Series in Australia. Against the Netherlands at East London, Anderson broke the back of the Dutch top order, taking the first four wickets with balls that were full and fast.
