India v England 2011: Hat-trick will be waste if England lose Trent Bridge Test, says Stuart Broad – Cricket News Update
The lanky English pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465, has said that his hat-trick in the ongoing second Test will be a complete waste if his team suffers a defeat at Trent Bridge.
Broad helped http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 bounce back in the match by performing fabulously with both bat and ball. After hitting a blistering half-century, which propped the home side up to 221, the 25-year-old cricketer showed his magic with the ball, returning with excellent
figures of 6/46.
The highlight of his outstanding bowling was his great hat-trick that pushed the tourists into the deep trouble. In 88th over of the Indian innings, Broad dismissed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/P-Kumar-c2143 on consecutive balls,
becoming the first bowler in the history of Test cricket to capture a hat-trick against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
Despite expressing enormous delight over playing a decisive role in the game, the Nottingham-born fast bowler didn’t want to take credit until his side wins the game, adding that the happiness of hat-trick will double if the Poms seal the victory.
"Your best days only come when you win, so at the end of the Test match it might well turn out to be if we perform well. It was a pretty special occasion, but it's all about winning Test matches," said Broad.
Talking about his feelings ahead of the hat-trick in front of his home crowd at Nottingham, the gangly seamer shared, "The atmosphere was amazing, Trent Bridge was really bouncing. The ball was moving a little bit and I wanted to make sure I hit the stumps,
so I just came wide of the crease and tried to angle it in as close to the stumps as I possibly could, and fortunately it just nipped back and caught the top of off [stump]."
Despite Broad’s hat-trick, the home side is trailing by 43 runs as they collected 24 for the loss of one wicket after the visitors’ first innings total of 288. Currently, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/IR-Bell-c1597 are at crease and Broad expects English batsmen to pile
up a big total and put pressure on the World Champions.
