LONDON – England fast bowler James Anderson got a taste of the ‘chin-music’ 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 pace man Stuart Broad at the 27-hole Stoke Park golf course in Buckinghamshire, Anderson’s miscued shot in the rough rebounded off tree roots and caught him straight in the face.
Broad, who filmed his team mate’s self-inflicted blow from a few metres behind, reacted in shock to the ball hitting Anderson.
However, on finding that his bowling partner was alright, Broad posted the video on his Twitter account 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.
The England team are currently enjoying some downtime following their win over India. Anderson took four wickets over the two innings as the hosts registered a thrilling 31-run win over India in the first match of the five-Test series.
England take on India in the second Test at Lord’s starting August 9 but the hosts will be without Edgbaston hero Ben Stokes, who faces a court hearing this coming week in Bristol.
Meanwhile, left-hander Dawid Malan has been dropped from the England team for the Lord’s Test with Ollie Pope included. All-rounder Chris Woakes has been named as Stokes’ replacement.
