"It's been absolutely terrible. But it was nice, Peter struggled a bit, his scoring wasn't there like what it usually is," said Anderson post match.

"He's got a bad shoulder, my back's absolutely knackered at the bottom of my tail. It's 101 years standing on that stage tonight so we're allowed a few aches and pains.

"Everyone thinks it's a joke but these beds, you're locked in your room 20 hours of the day, you either sit in a duff seat or you lie up on a horrible mattress. It's not good for you."

He also discussed motivation and in particular the bookies writing him off which has fired him up.

"I was probably mosing along and then I've seen the odds at 40/1 so if I can shove it up the bookies trust me, I'm going to try. I like moaning and causing bother."
