Anderson on track for first Ashes Test • Anderson cracked rib during England training camp• 'He's already bowling at 75% so he should be fine'The England team director, Andy Flower, is confident James Anderson will be fit for the first Ashes Test in Brisbane on 25 November. Anderson cracked a rib during the side's training camp in Germany but the seamer is bowling again and could be involved in two of the warm-up games in Australia."He's already bowling at 75% so he should be fine for the first Test," Flower said. "More than likely, he'll be OK for two of those warm-up games."Anderson was injured in Bavaria this month while boxing against an unnamed team-mate – reportedly Chris Tremlett. Despite the setback, Flower has no regrets over the controversial camp."No, none at all," he said. "It was an excellent camp, actually, and I think the players and management that were involved in it did things they might never have done before and might never do again, and it was a very healthy experience."Flower is unconcerned about Kevin Pietersen, who has not scored a Test century since March 2009 and was forced to apologise for a rant on Twitter after being dropped from England's one-day side. Pietersen joined the South African side Kwazulu Natal Dolphins in a bid to rediscover his form but made 36 and a second-ball duck in his two first-class innings.Flower said: "He's very well, he enjoyed his trip to South Africa and he's in a very good state of mind ready for the tour. He didn't get many opportunities [for Natal]. Unfortunately, the way the games panned out, he only got one innings in each game."But he did some really good work with the Natal side and I think it would've stood him in good stead. He feels good about his cricket; he feels confident going into Australia."England cricket teamAndy FlowerCricketguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
