Jimmy Anderson bowling to left handers

Why does he persist with that away swinger to the left handers as his stock ball to them? As Graeme Smith pointed out on air in Johannesburg- That away swinger forces him to pull his length back, meaning left handed batsmen can easily leave him. He gets left far too often.

He should take a leaf out of Hoggard's book, and bowl the inswinger to the left handers as his stock ball, with the occasional straight one that they have a poke at.

He's probably sick and tired of having his inswinger played through the leg-side for runs. Anyway, I think Jimmy knows a wee bit more about swing bowling than Mr Smith.
