James Anderson on Brendon McCullum's pre-innings talk

England's greatest ever bowler, James Anderson, told Greg James, Mattchin Tendulkar and Felix White the joke England coach Brendon McCullum told his players to relax them before their nail-biting finish against New Zealand.

McCullum said 'just get your head down and bat for the draw' before saying 'only joking, lads' in order to relax the atmosphere before the decisive innings in England's one run loss to the Kiwis.
