James Anderson is convinced the increased influence England captain Alastair Cook now holds in the dressing room is paying dividends for the team. Adidas Nmd Outlet . Under head coach Trevor Bayliss, Cook has been given a freer role and has been able to stamp his authority on the side, in the style of successful Australia skippers Allan Border, Mark Taylor and Steve Waugh. Englands Stuart Broad and James Anderson tell us their favourite Sky Sports moment from the last 25 years Cook has been among the runs for county side Essex and will now lead England in a three-Test series against Sri Lanka, which gets underway at Lords - live on Sky Sports - on May 19. Anderson is hoping they can avoid a repeat of the 2014 series, when a draw at Lords was followed by a 100-run win for the tourists at Headingley after Anderson was dismissed two balls from the end to give Sri Lanka a dramatic win and with it, a maiden Test series victory over England.I think Cookys done a fantastic job. Certainly since Trevors come in hes taken more responsibility, said Anderson. He is the figurehead in the dressing room, hes the guy that people look up to and hes in charge. Obviously Trevors given him that responsibility so, thats been good.All the teams Ive ever played in, its always been the coach at the forefront, so for the captain to be in charge, from what I hear thats the way the Australians did it all the way through their success.So far its working really well and hopefully that will continue this summer. Cork: England strong favourites Dominic Cork expects England to dominate against Sri Lanka With that extra responsibility its his team and I think him getting runs as well helps, it takes pressure away and its allowed his captaincy to flourish.As for the Sri Lanka series two years ago, Lancashire bowler Anderson admits it was frustrating to lose but feels they are in a strong position to emerge on top this time round on the back of the 2015 Ashes triumph and subsequent Test series win in South Africa.To get within two balls, I did feel crushed at the end of it, added Anderson. It had been a long game and we came so close. Anderson celebrates taking the wicket of AB de Villiers during the tour of South Africa Wed come close at Lords to winning that Test as well but didnt quite do it, so it was frustrating losing the series in that way.It was gutting really and hopefully well not be in that situation again this time.I think the way the team has progressed in the two years since has been far greater than anybody could have possibly imagined.With a change of coach and a few different players in there as well, the last 12 months have been a real breath of fresh air. Angelo Mathews is expecting a tough series against England Thats not only the way weve progressed but been allowed to progress - being given that freedom to just go out there and enjoy playing cricket.International cricket can be quite pressurised but I think the captain and the coach have done a great job in taking a bit of that pressure away from the players and allowing them to enjoy themselves on the field.Watch England v Sri Lanka on Sky Sports 2 HD.
