MS Dhoni praises Jimmy Anderson

Dhoni praises Anderson

India captain MS Dhoni has heaped praise on England's Jimmy Anderson, believing him to be the difference in the two bowling attacks in England's Test series win against India.

Anderson ended behind spinners Graeme Swann, Pragyan Ojha, Monty Panesar and Ravichandran Ashwin, but was comfortably the highest seam wicket-taker with 12 to Steven Finn with four, who was the next highest.

"We struggled in the batting department but the difference between the bowling sides was James Anderson," BBC Sport quotes Dhoni as saying.

"He bowled really well and tested the batsmen quite often but the batsmen must take responsibility for not putting runs on the board."

England's series win was their first in India for 28 years.
