England quick bowler Stuart Broad needs the crew to replicate the success of the 2005 Ashes sequence once they host Australia in the summertime and encourage followers throughout the nation.
England regained the well-known urn for the primary time in 18 years in 2005 with a 2-1 sequence victory, which is broadly rated among the many crew’s biggest achievements within the longest format.
“I just want the whole series to grip the nation and inspire kids the way 2005 did,” Broad advised the Daily Mail on Wednesday.
“I want our players to take positive options at all times and if there’s a day we get bowled out for a 100, it is what it is. As long as the next day we come back with the same intent and become even more aggressive and entertain even more.”
Good run beneath Stokes, McCullum
England have gained 10 of their final 12 checks beneath captain Ben Stokes and head coach Brendon “Baz” McCullum, with their high-risk, high-reward ‘Bazball’ type proving each entertaining and profitable.
Broad, 36, mentioned the brand new strategy has been a “breath of fresh air”.
“The mindset of the group and what Baz has brought in is that the result’s irrelevant. It’s entertainment we’re here for,” Broad added.
“I think the biggest compliment I can give is that part of me wishes I was 23. Part of me wishes I was learning my trade in this environment. I learnt under Andy Flower who made me a pretty tough cricketer and strong character …
“But think about being Harry Brook now and coming in with that freedom and backing? There will probably be a lot of take a look at cricketers from the 90s wishing they’d had this kind of backing.”
