http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 series without aggression – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013’s T20I skipper and star pacer, Stuart Broad, has beseeched his team to remain cool and strike for victory during their upcoming bilateral series against Pakistan, claiming that they cannot thrive by playing with a negative mindset.
The speedster is of the view that the Pakistani trio’s spot-fixing scam, which erupted during the two teams’ last meeting at Lord’s in August 2010, is now a matter of the past and it should not have any repercussions on this event. He suggests that both
the sides should take a fresh and positive start with clean minds instead of carrying forward the old grudges.
Broady asserts that the English have no ill feelings for the Men in Green and they expect the same from the opponents.
Despite the fact that the gruesome spot-fixing controversy badly affected Broad, who was at the peak of his form during that summer, the pace man wants his teammates to forget the entire mess.
Remember, Broad stunned the world cricket comity by lashing 169-run knock in Lord’s Test, but the fracas denied him the due credit. He still believes that England played nice cricket during that home event.
While speaking to the media today, the Nottingham boy said, “I think it's important that we move on from that. Of course there's always going to be that bitterness because it was a very ugly end to what was actually a really nice summer's cricket.”
He advises his team to perpetuate their momentum, which they gained by beating http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 4-0 in a home Test series during July-August last year, and win this event as well.
He told, “It's important we don't go there with aggression and anger in us from what's happened in the past. It's important we are as logical as we have been over the past two years and get the job done. You don't do that by holding old grudges."
Broad, who has 41 Test, 84 ODI and 31 T20I matches to his name, is all set to make a comeback in international cricket after recovering from his shoulder-injury.
Pakistan-England series, consisting of 3 Tests, 4 ODIs and 3 T20Is, is scheduled to begin from January 17 at the neutral venues of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 (UAE).
