http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465 is all set to level the series at Headingley - Cricket News Update
English spearhead, Stuart Broad, said that he is raring to go into the Leeds Test against the South Africans, hoping to avenge their first Test’s loss at the Oval last week.
Broad had a poor Test with both, bat and bowl where he conceded 118 runs and managed 16 and 0 in a losing cause.
“This will be as big a Test as I can remember in this country and one in which we must come out firing on all cylinders,” the right-arm bowler said.
England had shown brilliant form ahead of the current Investec series; they not only comprehensively outrun the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 in all formats of the game, but also recorded a thumping 4-0 victory in the five-match NatWest One Day International (ODI) series
against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.
The Poms have been in imperious form on home soil and have yet to taste a Test series’ defeat in over four years. However, they have struggled to find consistent form ever since becoming the top Test side, following a 4-0 drubbing inflicted to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 last

“We must make sure we leave absolutely nothing in the dressing room. We're not thinking about our No 1 status being on the line here because it hasn't been good for us in the past to look too far ahead,” the lanky fast bowler said.
The fast bowler, who will become the most capped English Test player from his county club http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nottinghamshire-c826, wants to keep the series alive by winning the Headingley Test.
“All we need to do now is think about what we have to do to win at Headingley and stay in this Investec series. The biggest thing now is how we start this game. Then we will take it from there,” Broad concluded.
