"Have Stopped Trying To Make Sense Of It": James Anderson On Being Dropped From England Test Squad

James Anderson still struggling to understand his England omission
England great James Anderson is still unable to make sense of his controversial omission from the recent tour of the West Indies as he looks to revive his international career. Both Anderson and Stuart Broad, England's two all-time leading Test wicket-takers, were left out as part of a major shake-up following a humiliating 4-0 loss in Australia. The decision was made by a selection panel headed by interim director of cricket Andrew Strauss -- his predecessor Ashley Giles and England coach Chris Silverwood were both sacked after the Ashes debacle. Anderson and Broad have spoken of their disappointment at being told they had been left out by way of a five-minute phone call from Strauss. Anderson, 40, however, is determined to bowl his way back into the Test XI by starring for Lancashire in the first-class County Championship after England went down 1-0 in the Caribbean. "I've stopped trying to make sense of it and just put it to one side," Anderson said Monday of his England axe. "It was completely out of my control. I've got to focus on what I can control and that is bowling as well as I possibly can (for Lancashire). Something like this, for me, it's quite a big deal because it came out of the blue a little bit. I still feel like I'm bowling well."
