Cook calls it an Indian 'tactic'
England captain Alastair Cook said Wednesday he believed India's complaint against James Anderson was a tactic designed to have his spearhead bowler miss some part of the ongoing series.
Anderson was charged by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday for allegedly "abusing and pushing"Ravindra Jadeja during last week's drawn first Test at Trent Bridge.
If the charge is upheld by an ICC judicial commissioner, Anderson could be banned for as many as four Tests and England have responded by levelling a charge of their own against Jadeja.
Cook speaking to reporters at Lord's, where the second Test of a five-match series starts on Thursday, accused India of making a "mountain out of a molehill" in an effort to try to get Anderson banned.
