http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465 keeping faith in his batsmen against the spin challenge in World T20 - Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 starting from September 18.
Broad’s remarks came, in the wake of the growing criticisms following their seven-wicket defeat in the second T20 international against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 at Chester-le-Street, where the home side slumped to a paltry total of 118-7.
Sent into bat first, the Poms failed to negotiate the slow turning track at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RJ-Peterson-c2332, who returned with the figures of 19/2 and 27/2 respectively.
While acknowledging his side’s struggles against spin, the lanky pacer insisted that the English side can negotiate the spin challenge in the Island country and have players who can play spin well.
"We didn't play the spin especially well today. But we've got good players of spin in there," said Broad.
"http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peter-Nicholas-George-Morgan-c81857 is a fantastic player of spin. We've seen him dominate it in the past - it just didn't come off for us today,” the skipper further added.
However, the home side’s recent record against the spinner has been dismal, while http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Eoin-Joseph-Gerard-Morgan-c56032, in his last Test series had only averaged 13.66 in three Test matches under spin-friendly conditions.
Early this year, the then number-one Test side suffered a humiliating whitewash at the hands of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HMRKB-Herath-c1559, who was the chief tormentor of the Poms, claiming 19 scalps in 2 matches.
The Englishmen will head to Sri Lanka, without their star performer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806, who was their main architect in the Caribbean two years ago. The 26-year-old captain however, reckons that they are training hard but have a lot to improve before the start of the mega-event.
“http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thomas-George-Burrows-c93472 boundary option. You don’t want to curb that enthusiasm too much. We need to put that right in a very short turnaround,” Broad concluded.
The second match of the NatWest T20I series between the two countries will be played at Old Trafford on Monday.
