FAST bowler James Anderson has warned all England’s World Cup flops will face battles to salvage their limited-overs careers.

England boss Peter Moores has faced the brunt of the criticism and Anderson recognises his former Lancashire coach is under close scrutiny, after defeat to Bangladesh on Monday ended hopes of reaching the quarter-finals.

Burnley-born Anderson said: “Peter’s position might come under pressure in the next few weeks but every member of this squad should also come under pressure. There have been guys - myself included - who have not performed.”

Anderson, who has taken a meagre four wickets in five matches, is determined to emerge from his own doldrums and prove he can again be a menacing strike bowler at the highest level.

“I want to carry on,” he said. “I came into the World Cup as the number four-ranked one-day bowler in the world so my form in the last couple of years has been good.”

Yet he admits to feeling “a mixture of seething anger and devastation” over England’s performance in Australia and New Zealand, and said the team “let down” the coaching staff and supporters.

England have faced widespread accusations of being out of step with the pace of modern one-day cricket, and reliant on statistics rather than their instincts.

Anderson disputes that, and said: “Peter does not suffocate players with statistics and data. The numbers are available if a player wants them. It is up to each individual.”

On Moores, whose future remains under scrutiny despite the backing of England & Wales Cricket Board chief Paul Downton, Anderson said: “I want Peter to stay as head coach.”
