England eyeing the World Test Championship 2013, says Stuart Broad - Cricket News Update
England’s star pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Test Rankings, his team’s next target is to win the inaugural World Test Championship in 2013.
The Poms thrashed the Men in Blue by an emphatic margin of 4-0 in the recently concluded Test series. Majority of the cricket analysts were expecting this to be one of the keenly contested Test series’ of recent times as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 and India
are among the best Test teams of the world, but it turned out to be an anti-climax as the home team white washed the visitors.
Broad, who was named as the Player of the Series for England, claimed that his team is now eager to win the World Test Championship and the number one ranking is surely going to help their cause.
The all-rounder said, "The World Test Championship is something we are aiming for. The best chance of winning that is by being the best team in the world because, firstly, you are playing good cricket and, secondly, if you draw the final
you will retain the championship."
It is quite ironic that Broad was struggling to maintain his place in the playing eleven before the start of the series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, as the fast bowler had a torrid time against Sri Lanka earlier in the season. However, he picked up
25 wickets in the four matches and also claimed a match-winning hat-trick in the second Test at Trent Bridge. Apart from that, Broad also contributed with the bat and scored a couple of vital knocks for the English team.
Broad admitted that he was short on confidence before the series against India and said that he worked hard during the tough times and now he has emerged as the main player of the English team.
“After http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andre-Adams-c1033 (bowler) and Mick
Newell (county coach) and realising what I wanted to do," he said.
