England bowler James Anderson's coach David Saker has predicted him to have another standout campaign in the return Ashes series.

According to The Age, Saker pointed out that Anderson broke the barrier he wanted to break in the last visit to Australia, adding that he wanted to prove to a lot of Australians that he could bowl well in all conditions.

Saker also said that Anderson thrives under pressure and when he had Harmison and Flintoff around him, he just went about his business, adding that after getting a leadership role, he has become an elite bowler.

England skipper Alastair Cook, batsman Kevin Pietersen, spinner Graeme Swann and paceman Broad are all set to return for the four-day tour match against Australia A in Hobart, starting on Wednesday, the report said.
