Stuart Broad feels they are confident enough to avenge Oval at Headingley - Cricket News Update
England spearhead, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465, said that the only way to respond to their loss in the first Test is to do well in the second Test at Headingley.
“We were very honest with each other after our heavy defeat in the first Test,” wrote Broad, in his article for the Daily Mail.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 in the first Test at the Oval.
English pace attack, which is hailed as the best in the world, was in a poor form, clobbered all around the park by the Proteas batsmen, who went onto post a massive 637 for 2.
The English bowling quartet of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501 conceded a total of 525 runs in just one innings, which is their worst combined effort in a Test match.
Broad, who will be sharing the new ball with Anderson, knows the importance of the occasion when the two top sides will meet at Headingley. The 26-year-old believes that the Poms had enough time to rethink over their game plan, and correct the mistakes they
made in the first Test.
“We talked at The Oval at the end of the game about what had just happened, and now we've had time to properly reflect on it all before trying to put things right at Headingley,” the lanky fast bowler added.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nottinghamshire-c826 player believes that his side is confident to return the favour to the visitors when they’ll next face them at Leeds with the sole aim to square the series.
“We can't dwell on it now because these kinds of Test can happen and it is how we respond now that counts. We are not over-reacting and we are not too concerned. Our confidence hasn't been affected.”
“If we have a good week in Leeds, then we will have put a bad week in London to bed,” the English pace man said.
England will be fighting to save the series along with their ICC’s top Test ranking, which could be lost if suffer defeat in any of the remaining two Test matches.
