England fast-bowler James Anderson misses the Test series in Bangladesh but takes time out of his rehabilitaition to answer your e-mails.

James has an overuse injury in his left knee, which England hope will be cured by rest and physiotherapy.

With any luck, the pace bowler will be available for the one-day series in Bangladesh and the whole of the tour to Sri Lanka.

Dilshad Hussain, Pakistan

What were you thinking at the time when you bowled out the Pakistani middle order at the World Cup? The yorker that bowled Youhana was the best I have ever seen!

I was just trying to concentrate on each ball individually and trying to focus on what I wanted to do with each one. We discussed where to bowl to each player and luckily the ball was swinging.

I managed to get the ball in the right areas and pick up some wickets. It's the best feeling ever to get someone first ball, and the ball to get Youhana was probably the best I've bowled in my career so far.

Charis, England

How have you coped, not just with the pressures of being a sudden international success, but with the personal attention such as comments about your hair, and claims that all females watching cricket are now doing so just to see you?

It's good to get anyone watching cricket, including kids and women. This summer we've been trying to promote the image of cricket, and although we're never going to be as popular as football, we're trying to get an image to appeal to all people.

Every now and again, in a petrol station or somewhere like that, I get recognised. But I haven't exactly got groupies.

Taskeen Gul Khan, England

Who do you think would be your best new-ball partner next summer?

Ideally I'd like Darren Gough, but that's not going to be possible. I was talking to Andy Caddick at Michael Vaughan's wedding and he was saying he's not retired yet.

Someone like him with experience would be excellent. I've enjoyed bowling with Richard Johnson and James Kirtley, and Kabir Ali's done well. It's a shame he's not got on any tours, but I'm sure he'll be round when the summer comes round again.

Harriet, England

Does it faze you when people call you the David Beckham of cricket?

It's nice to be thought of in that way, but I don't want to be known as the David Beckham of cricket, I want to be the James Anderson of cricket.

Georgina Steadman, United Kingdom

Where would be your ideal holiday, and what would you do?

I've never had a proper lads' holiday because we play cricket all summer, so to go away somewhere like Ibiza would be good. Saying that, I'd like to chill out on a beach in the Caribbean with a Bacardi and Coke as well.

Phil Lloyd-Bushell, England

Do you model your bowling on someone else you idolise?

Everyone's got their own action, but I do try to pick things up from other bowlers - people like Pollock, McGrath and Lee - and fit them into your action.

Steven, Lancashire

If you did not play cricket, what other career would you be interested in?

The only thing I'm really good at is playing sport. I'd have gone to university, even though I had no idea what I wanted to do at 18.

Dean Nelhams, England

What positives do you take from this summer's experience against the South Africans after such a dream start to international cricket?

Apart from the work you've done to improve your follow-through have you considered any other changes to your approach to the game?

It was a hard summer and we didn't play as well as we would have liked in the last series. I had a bit of trouble with the follow-through, but hopefully I've got rid of that so I don't have to concentrate on it any more.

Apart from that there are constant things that people work on throughout their career. So there'll be little things I'll be working on before I go away, but nothing major.

Iain McCulloch, UK

Do you prefer Test cricket or one-day cricket? Do you find it challenging to switch between them?

It's a difficult one. The atmosphere, the coloured kit, the lights and the support are all incredible. I'm disappointed I've not played in the 20-20 stuff, but at the same time, Test cricket is what cricket is all about. The history makes it something special and to play in a Test for your country is a great feeling.

Joe Smith, England

Do you believe that the injury will give you some well earned rest after a gruelling summer or are you unhappy that you are missing the Bangladesh Tests?

I'm disappointed because I want to play every game possible. But it's been a tough summer, I'm glad of a rest and hopefully I can come back stronger.

Ian Hesketh, England

What tips would you give to someone who wants to become a fast-bowler like yourself?

When I was 14 or 15 I batted and bowled a little bit, but when I was 16 or 17 I got some pace from somewhere. I'd always wanted to be an all-rounder, but once my bowling came on my batting took a back seat and I didn't work on it like I should have done.

Chris Phillips, Gibraltar

Already in your young life of international cricket, you've probably bowled against most of the best of the world, except perhaps Lara. Who has impressed you most so far?

Bowling to Tendulkar in the World Cup is the most nervous I've been. One of the things I tried to do in Australia is say "it's just another left or right-hander" and not "oh my God, it's Adam Gilchrist or Ricky Ponting".

That worked quite well in the first part of the World Cup and in Australia, but when I saw Tendulkar at the other end I was a bit star-struck, thinking "where am I going to bowl at him"? And I'm looking forward to bowling to Lara next summer; it's where you can test yourself.

Angela Stevens, England

I watched you play all summer and thought you were fantastic! You really inspired me to play for my cricket team. My friends always tell me to shut up because I'm constantly going on about cricket and about how much you inspired me, so thank you! Do you have any plans to change your hair before the one-day series against Sri Lanka?

It's blonde at the minute, but some of the lads have been trying to persuade me to shave it off for Bangladesh.

Kanchan, India

Your meteoric rise from playing for Burnley to playing for the national team is truly amazing. How do you cope with the sudden changes and what would be your message to other aspiring teenagers like me?

The change was so fast that it helped me in a way as I didn't have time to think about what was going on around me. I just got on with it, played my own game and concentrated on the basics. You've got to stick at it and work hard, and remember you're going to have some days where things don't go your way - but you'll come back stronger.

Paul Scully

How did Lancashire spot you while playing league cricket?

My best friend was at some under-17 trials at Lancashire, and his mum mentioned to the coach that there's a guy at Burnley worth looking at. So I went for a trial when I was 16, got picked for the team and since then I just went through the teams until I was in the first team.

Zoe Emett, England

What do you think the strengths of your bowling are?

The swing is a massive strength, but if it's not swinging I can bowl 85mph if I pull my finger out.

Ian Anstey, UK

Some people are surprised at your bowling action because you do not appear to look at the wicket as you bowl. What do you think of this?

I've been doing it for the last four years and I've not had any problems yet. If you look at a coaching manual, they're not going to tell you to bowl like that, but it works for me. Saying that, I wouldn't teach anyone else to do it.

Lauren, England

What is you worst cricketing memory and how do you think you could have avoided it from happening? I hope you are better for the Sri Lanka tour!

Getting knocked out of the World Cup and losing to Australia when we were in a strong position were very disappointing moments. And for me to be bowling the penultimate over made it even worse.

But if it was to come round again, I don't think I'd do anything differently. They took a couple of big swings and hit a four and a six, but on another day they could have gone up in the air.

Lois McConnell, Lancashire

How big a loss will you and Flintoff be for England against Bangladesh?
