What's it like being a cricket widow?

Peter Hayter meets James Anderson and his wife Daniella, who speaks of the strains on family life when her husband's away on tour for a good part of the year. Read more in the Mail on Sunday.

Since the couple were married, Lancashire paceman James has spent every winter abroad. The latest starts with a tour to India that runs until the end of the fourth Test in Nagpur on December 17. If Anderson is required for the two Twenty20s that follow, he will not see his family again until December 23. Then, after either nine days or a fortnight at home, he is due to fly back to India on January 2 for five ODIs, then on to New Zealand for a tour that will keep him away until March 28.
