http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465 urges his batsmen to raise their game – Cricket News Update
After being thrashed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c749 skipper, is optimistic that his side will turn the tables in the Super 8s, which starts today at Pallekele.
Chasing a huge total of 170 against the Men in Blue, Broad and company were dismissed for just 80, which happens to be England's lowest-ever T20 score.
Being the defending champions, the Poms entered the competition as one of the favourites, although the pitches in the Island favour spin, which is not England’s strength.
The current England squad possesses a number of emerging players like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jos-Buttler-c1733 and Jonny Bairstow. All of them are extremely talented and have the ability to make an impression against any bowling attack, but to counter high-quality spinners
in sub-continent is surely not easy, especially for inexperienced batsmen.
England will take on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382 and company.
The 26-year-old cricketer revealed that the Poms were mentally prepared about being attacked by spin in the mega event and being professional sportsmen, the players must be able to cope with the challenges.
Broad expressed, "We are ready for that. It is not as if we have found out yesterday that people are going to bowl spin at us. Coming to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, we sort of knew that because those are the conditions we will face. It is important as individuals we try
to counteract it."
The fast bowler believes that the England batsmen can deliver the goods against slower bowlers as well but it is all about having self-belief.
"The challenge is all mental," he claimed. "It is all about getting yourself back into a positive frame of mind and reminding the guys in the team that they are good players. They have performed well to get into this England team and we have match-winners
in this side."
Taking into account his experience at the international level, most experts believe that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Eoin-Joseph-Gerard-Morgan-c56032 holds the key if England are to do well in the Super 8s.
