Stuart Broad ruled out of England's second Test against Sri Lanka

He will now undertake a rehabilitation programme which will determine his availability for all cricket including the Indian Premier League.

Broad, 25, went into the first Test with a sore left ankle which he had sprained on the boundary rope doing warm-ups before the first practice match in Colombo, just over two weeks ago. This latest problem, although on his other leg, could well be linked given the overcompensation that often occurs when bowlers take niggles into a game.

England, experiencing a losing streak that has now extended to four straight defeats, will miss a fit Broad, with his aggression and sense of purpose, but not the one there, who was not fully himself. He has struck up a dynamic new-ball partnership with James Anderson, but while he bore his discomfort well during the Test, he was noticeably off colour.

Tim Bresnan, himself recently injured, will also be under consideration. England badly missed a third seamer on the opening morning of the Test when they had Sri Lanka 15 for three. Instead of maintaining the pressure created by Anderson and Broad by introducing another pace bowler, they had to turn to spin, which is in the comfort zone for Sri Lankan batsmen, especially on a first day pitch. With 20 wickets more a priority in Colombo than big totals, because of their desperation to win the game and level the series, England could well play five bowlers.

Stuart Broad the enforcer puts England back in business against Pakistan

Pitches at home, in Australia and in South Africa, usually offer something – either extra bounce or movement, or both - and batsmen lured into exploring the corridor of uncertainty are induced into mistakes.

The dry, lifeless surfaces in Asia negate this approach. There is no movement and negligible bounce so that even if the edge is taken, it often doesn’t carry to slip. Slip fielders become almost redundant. Such pitches require a completely different mindset for bowlers as well as batsmen.

Bowlers have to be much more aggressive, especially once the shine has gone off the new ball. They need to run in with purpose and hit the pitch hard.

Lengths have to be varied more too, to catch well-set batsmen out of position. Most importantly, the stumps must be targeted. The two greatest exponents of Asian pitches in the last 20 years, the peerless reverse-swing duo of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis, took 30 per cent of their wickets lbw.

For more conventional English-type seamers, like Angus Fraser or Andrew Flintoff, the lbw percentage is under 20. Waqar and Wasim were masters of making batsmen jumpy with awkward skiddy bouncers, forcing them onto the back foot and then pinning them in front of the stumps with wicked in-swinging fuller deliveries.

Both had exceptional pace to go with their other assets of course and it is a method that doesn’t suit everybody.

But it is really the only way to make progress in Asia and England were a little slow on the uptake in the morning. They opted for a trial of patience, plugging away outside off stump, with slips and gulleys, but to no avail, and the attack looked insipid, Chris Tremlett especially. The Pakistan opening pair registered their hundred stand with some comfort.

Broad, the most experienced English bowler in Asian conditions, having made his Test debut on a fast bowlers’ graveyard in Colombo, suddenly went into enforcer mode (see Beehive above).

He had Mohammed Hafeez dropped at long-leg off a well-directed bouncer, and then, having also forced the left-handed Taufeeq Umar to take evasive action, trimmed his off bail with a peach delivered from round the wicket as the batsman shuffled too late into position.

He followed quickly with the wicket of Azhar Ali and England were back in business.

A second example of how to bowl on this surface came from an unlikely source. Jonathan Trott was thrown the ball just before tea, perhaps surprisingly ahead of Kevin Pietersen.

Trott proceeded (see his Beehive below) to bowl naggingly straight and full with a hint of swing wither way, and soon trapped the unsuspecting Younis Khan lbw with one that nipped back sharply.

The batsman reviewed it, and on English pitches it is the extra bounce that often saves batsmen, but not here and Pakistan’s most seasoned player was on his way.

After this, England really understood what was required. Not only a direct aim, but also a different fielding strategy. Bin the slips and station more men on the leg side (the fifth stump approach employs three or sometimes only two leg side fielders) to prevent easy runs flicked through midwicket from straighter deliveries.

Anderson converted to this mode superbly and finally earned his reward with two late wickets to cap an instructive day for England that will serve them well.

V England India: application role gives Stuart Broad edge to deal with Indian invaders to the Lord

Rapid return: England spirited attitude of Stuart Broad pace bowler is likely to gain a recall to the team take on the India in the first Test of Lord Photo: GETTY IMAGES

Great are the assumptions of those who have followed the team # 1 in the world, but in England, which for the first Test squad will be announced Sunday, are certainly not ready to give the piece more sacred turf cricket.


England were a side largely resolved the end with the frappeurs order now set in stone. Kevin Pietersen could do with a hundred large to suppress murmurs that it is on time, but one that he, the only debate is bowling and Stuart Broad, Tim Bresnan and Steve Finn should complement James Anderson, Chris Tremlett and Graeme Swann in the final XI.


Bresnan and wide participated for their counties this week, for a comparison of the kind has already been made. 53.4 Overs from the sea through two handles for Nottinghamshire gave six wickets against Somerset while Bresnan took four wickets victory Worcestershire Yorkshire.


According to reports Broad struggled at first but settled that Bresnan began to strongly but is past wicketless in 22 overs in the second round. Finn played only T20 cricket of Middlesex which makes the analysis for the purpose of Test match fairly empty of meaning.


Most seem to feel the competition for a place in the 11 final rather than the team, between Broad and Bresnan. They certainly offer very different qualities, which makes it just as much a question of tactics as personality.


Bresnan is phlegmatic, unflappable and reliable, attributes that prefer the many captains of their launchers. Broad based more on the aggressiveness of driving his bowling, which makes him mercurial and therefore less reliable in terms of control the game. It can change the course of a Test match, as he did at the oval against the Australia and in Durban against the South Africa, but were thin on the ground recently.


Recent injuries of important body for bowling (side and back) have helped and all England step focuses on the proximity of their team, absence of offshore at the end of the glory of his ashes were left playing catch-up, at least in his own mind.


Of course, it gives the impression at the present time to force to take wickets, a natural response to impatience caused by a lean time.


England see in him their enforcer, a man with the rough opponents when the terrain is flat, and there is no reason for that change now before the series began.


Wide have the short stuff against Sri Lanka, often under conditions that did not need it, but there is a suspicion that the Indiabatsmen are likely to be bouncers which is wide, with an additional line in the looks on and customs, of.


Bresnan, who had a fine series of ash, is almost certain to be in the team following his recent return from a calf injury. Bowler of a bowlers, as unflappable as wide is impetuous.


But with Swann and Tremlett capable of stabilizing labour, should be required, with another will be excess. Its ability to be the man of the utility, injury should strike, made him an inclusion more likely than the Finn, despite the Lord as its home field.


A person who might be grateful to be in familiar surroundings is Andrew Strauss. Although that renting or otherwise managing Somerset for convenient some way before the test, the opportunity, he did most, Strauss must retrieve the team after the victory of impressive series of a day of Alastair Cook in Sri Lanka.


Sharing is employment fury in these straitened times, but the captaincy, and the authorization granted, is not so easily passed back and forth.


When Hussain Nasser successful control of the team for a day at Michael Vaughan in 2003, he took a correspondence (a draw against the South Africa) before his resignation the Test capitanat thus.


At the present time, Cook is the successor of Strauss at the Test level and it is inconceivable that he could return in this series, Strauss will be maintain his England team is going in the right direction. Which includes an extended stay as criterion 1, it can start pushing conquest under the NW8 India next week.


Probable England team: * AJ Strauss, a Cook, IJL Trott, KP Pietersen, IR Bell, EJG Morgan, before †MJ, SCJ Broad, GP Swann, TC Tremlett, JM Anderson, TT Bresnan.

The ashes of 2010: James Anderson provided with necessary to win the series, said Stuart Clark spark Australia

Fired up fire: former Australia bowler Stuart Clark says that James Anderson antics of the third test in Perth inspired Australia, team in particular Mitchell Johnson: AP

England paceman Anderson was involved in a war running words with Mitchell Johnson of the examination, and Clark believes that inspired the Australia to produce his best years display player.


"The Perth test was more fiery than since the controversial Sydney against India in 2008, I test performance given Australian side," Clark said in the Sydney Morning Herald.


"Perhaps it took Anderson and his confrontational towards - in particular Mitchell Johnson - Australian approach to fire our players."


«Johnson said as much after her six-wicket performance in the first round at the Waca and the image of him standing until English drummers was nice to see after the difficulty he has endured.»


"Johnson is not a nasty bloke, but this is not to say that it can not be with the ball of the hand." It was as if he had said in his image and management consultants: ' forget all the other things, I would like to win games and do I need to get a little dangerous. "A change of attitude inspired a change in the result. »


Clark added Anderson attitude Johnson has shown how it is important to strike the right balance when opponents of luge.


"There is little point of great players bobsled because the chance of them out of their game is remote or, more likely, they will play with additional determination," he said.


"And there are some drummers such as Kevin Pietersen, who love the confrontation and go seek to fire their place." Silence is a better bet in these situations.


"As regards others, there are typically two approaches side commissioning takes when it comes to luge: method old-school, in your face that we saw in Perth and more subtle tactics of" talk by "a drummer."


"The first method is explicit - and those more likely to attract the attention of the referee of the match - but the second can be just as effective against a drummer with a few doubts self."

Stuart Broad confident England can end on high despite bowling of Umar Gul giving Pakistan T20 series lead

The traffic clogged half-built roads around the stadium were the first sign Pakistan fans had finally emerged to support their side and they were rewarded with a narrow victory over an England team whose runs chase finished in a dead end.

With 32 needed from 26 balls and seven wickets standing England were strong favourites to win and silence a noisy crowd.

But an over from Umar Gul brought two wickets for three runs including the crucial dismissal of Ravi Bopara, the batsmen who looked set to see England home, and sucked all momentum out of the innings as they failed to find the boundary in the final five overs.

“It is the sort of position you should win from,” admitted Stuart Broad, the England captain. “The thing about Twenty20 is that it fluctuates so much.

"We needed 8.8 an over at one point but then Ravi got it down to seven but in Twenty20 you never think it is in the bag as one over can change a match. Umar Gul did that bowling with reverse swing and brilliant yorkers. We need to show as an England team we can improve and make sure we come back on Saturday right in the zone again.”

Matches at this stadium have barely attracted a crowd to fill one third of the ground, and even though there were still swathes of empty seats the attendance this was by far the biggest of the tour and underlined which format of the game Pakistan fans enjoy the most.

Their team responded with a gutsy performance twice saving themselves from perilous positions. With the bat, Shoaib Malik and Misbah ul Haq steadied nerves at 73 for five to add 71 crucial runs to post a competitive total. With the ball, Gul and Saeed Ajmal proved a combination too powerful for England’s inexperienced lower order conceding only 13 in the crucial overs 15 to 19.

England had started their innings confidently. With Alastair Cook left out of the side, Kevin Pietersen took on the role of leader with the bat and he played on a different plane to everyone else. He stroked four fours and a straight six off Shahid Afridi but fell trying to clear the ropes again when he was caught at deep midwicket. Eoin Morgan again scratched around leaving Bopara to manage the run chase but even he struggled for fluidity despite taking 14 off a Junaid Khan over which appeared to set the team on the road to victory.

After Bopara’s dismissal Jonny Bairstow and Jos Buttler faced the arduous task of batting against Gul and Ajmal with the pressure on. Buttler fell trying to flick Gul over fine leg and Samit Patel was out next ball lbw to a fast and full delivery. Ajmal’s doosras and Gul’s inswinging yorkers were too much for Bairstow who failed to hit a four from the 21 balls he faced, but England will hope he learned from the exposure gained playing international cricket in such a tight corner.

The Pakistan innings had been squeezed by Graeme Swann’s three for 13 and they had as much difficulty reading Jade Dernbach’s slower balls as England have endured trying to pick Ajmal.

The heavy traffic signalling the start of the Dubai weekend meant many supporters were not in the ground as Awais Zia, the debutant Pakistan opening batsman, gave the match a rollicking start by taking on Steven Finn, the best bowler in the one-day series. He tried and failed to smash his first ball in international cricket for six , hit his third for four over mid off and pulled Finn in his second over for six. Finn was furious as his first two overs cost 23. But he was also clever, dismissing Zia with a slower ball.

Mohammad Hafeez and Asad Shafiq appeared comfortable until the ninth over when England regained control as Pakistan slumped 68 for one to 73 for five. Shafiq was given out run out by Swann, a close call which changed the complexion of the innings. Swann picked up a throw at the bowlers’ end and in trying to flick it back to the stumps, his elbow knocked off the bails. The laws state the arm of the hand holding the ball up to the shoulder is considered “live” and Shafiq was out, although he looked stunned when the news came up on the big screen.

Two balls later Hafeez swept to the man at deep midwicket and in his next over Swann picked up a double wicket maiden.

V England India: Director of team Andy Flower called Stuart Broad mind playing the role of "the executor.

The eyes: Stuart Broad England (right) makes his point in the third match ODI between England and Sri Lanka at Lord's Photo: AFP

Broad has acquired the reputation of being a leader stroppy and aggressive England attack the rhythm but he finds his position under threat before the first Test against the India to the Lord Thursday.


England he abandoned in their deciding one-day international series against Sri Lanka earlier this month and he now found in a fight to right for his Test place with Tim Bresnan recalled Yorkshire seamer.


"I thought that it overthrew as well as his characters suggested against Sri Lanka." "I have great respect for offshore as a young cricket player," said flower, the Director of the England team.


"It is obtained from the pace and bounce and it is a great competitor - but it may be more accurate.". I heard some crazy stuff on him to be - and I hate this word - an "enforcer".


"His work is to create the pressure to take wickets and make you generally Bowl off the coast of the strain." His work is therefore not of rough to the opposition. Should no not this ridiculous "enforcer".


"He is passionate about playing for England, but he has a responsibility to behave appropriately." It is perfectly aware, because it is intelligent. It must embrace this responsibility and act accordingly.


He was coach of bowling England David Saker, who originally said: "we want to be the executor in our team." It is no better bowler in the world than Stuart bowling bouncers. »


Broad was returned to county cricket week last to return to the front form of the India series. He took six wickets for Nottinghamshire against Somerset and has 50 overs in a match for the first time in his career, but broad has yet to discover if he was convinced of the flower and pickers colleagues that he is back at its best.


"We always select our best XI and Stuart has been a large part of recent years."


"This is the criteria we will use when gathering with the warlords." It is in the team, but we still have to make a decision about the best XI, "flower said."


The series of the India will be pit England against their former coach Duncan Fletcher and flower against a side that it looked like last winter as a successor of Gary Kirsten. Flower has subsequently signed a new contract with the England and Wales Cricket Board country.


"It was an investigation by year last to see if I would be interested." But I am very committed to this work, "he says.

The ashes of 2010: "gobsmacked" Stuart MacGill lambasts Michael Beer call-up for Perth test

Despite having played only five first-class match, left arm spinner Beer has been included in the 12-strong squad Australia redesigned their team Perth test in the wake of a handle and 71 - run Adelaide England defeat.

"I'm gobsmacked, shock, I don't think honestly," MacGill said Daily Telegraph in Sydney. "The team will have to change after the next test", he added.

On beer of Michael, good bloke and good player, but regarded this as a job interview and shows me his qualifications for this job.

"There is none." He is not qualified for the work that they gave him. Sending him there next week, what are they trying to do? »

MacGill playing test cricket opportunities were seriously limited by playing along with Shane Warne but he manage 208 wickets in 44 tests from 1998 to 2008.

The leg spinner said that selectors have been reeling from a bad decision to another after replacing Nathan Hauritz, which has 63 17 trials, desks with ineffective starting Xavier Doherty for both tests.

"Xavier Doherty was there, too, to be honest," said MacGill.

"They are clearly saying Nathan Hauritz, 'you never play test new cricket'. I do not understand that. Xavier Doherty should never played the first two tests. Michael Beer should not play this one. »

Because Beer took only 16 first-class wickets in an average of just less than 40 as it moves from Victoria to the Australia indicated that selector head what andrew Hilditch did not touch, said MacGill.

"To be honest, Andrew Hilditch comments, it is even not really knows who is Michael Beer." He said that he you while in Perth, because it is his home ground Bowl.

"I'm not sure what andrew thought these comments to until it."

Look, Andrew Hilditch is a nice bloke, but someone should tell him that Michael Beer has not spent his career at the WACA.

"Three games it and nothing more one to three." Honestly, it did y no great images here.

V England India: Stuart Broad and Tim Bresnan team for testing of the Lord

Testing times: Stuart Broad saw his England place in doubt due to the inconsitent form, but is in the team to deal with the India photo of the Lord: GETTY IMAGES

Wide in-form should be challenged for the position of the third seamer in a selection of the otherwise obvious team, having found it difficult to take wickets since his return from injury.


He played in each of the three Tests in this summer to Sri Lanka 1-0 victory, while 2010/11 Ashes-winning Bresnan came out with calf trouble.


The inclusion of Bresnan so that the failure of Middlesex fast bowler Steven Finn are the only change to the team who finished the victory against Sri Lanka at the Rose Bowl last month.


National selector Geoff Miller said: "following the successful Test and ODI series against Sri Lanka, we are pleased to include Tim Bresnan in the Test team after his excellent return from a calf muscle injury.


"Tim adds still bite at our pace attack with James Anderson, Chris Tremlett and Stuart Broad - which has greatly benefited from getting overs and wickets under his belt for Nottinghamshire during the week.


"Steven Finn has also benefited from his time at county level in recent weeks and continues to press hard for the selection of Test".


Miller is encouraged by the resources of the pace-bowling available to Englandfor a series of high-profile in which they have the possibility to file India at the top of the International Cricket Council Test classification.


"It's very nice to see the depth of quality on our bowling attack, with a series of Test four difficult matches on the horizon,", he said. "


"This is clearly a series highly anticipated between two nations play high test of the world, and I know that the England team is certainly looking forward to the challenge to take on the first team was classified in Test cricket".


Team of England (for the first npower Test v in India, from the Lord July 21): AJ Strauss (Captain), a Cook, IJL Trott, KP Pietersen, IR Bell, EJG Morgan, MJ Prior (wkt), broad CJD, GP Swann, CT Tremlett, JM Anderson, TT Bresnan.

V England Sri Lanka: Alastair Cook back Stuart Broad to build upon his return in the form for the fifth and deciding of the ODI

However, he was so happy, after England decimated Sri Lanka by 10 wickets at Trent bridge to level the score at 2-2, see Stuart Broad back in the wickets.

Wide broke his duck for the series, on his land, taking two wickets seamers of England - led by James Anderson (three for 24) - reversed out sri Lanka for an inadequate 174.

Anderson has been telling incisions, seeing off the coast of three of the five top six runs between them after Sri Lanka had put on a green field which nonetheless seems to contain some demons.

Broad then moved the promoted Suraj Randiv and Jeevan Mendis, before Jade Dernbach took three last wickets in 10 balls.

Executed the large Tundra highlighted by many reasons looking at losing consecutive England at Headingley and Lord's.

"It is not good," said Cook. "When a bowler takes no wickets is a difficult job and then find you probably hunting a little.".

New England skipper retains the faith off the coast, and expects him to launch again.

"He obtained a record of a day of world class, and it doesn't surprise me if on Saturday, it will bang, bang, bang, bang - and takes a 'five-for' out of nowhere." It is a fantastic bowler. »

There were calls for England to take account of changes in the selection, to try to stay alive in the series. But they gave broad and others another chance.

Cook explained: "when we saw the pitch - which is exactly what we asked for — it is very clear that we must play our four seamers."

"The Member can take a lot of credit for that - it was very brave to let much grass on."

Cook tried to note also, however, that the surface not were as many might find problems early in the Sri Lanka - against Anderson in particular.

Of course, it does not appear to be very evil then as Cook (no more than 95) and Craig Kieswetter (72no) have been blazing their way to a record unbeaten stand of 171 rushing to victory in only 23.5 overs.

"I thought that this land was more flat that I played and came to bat really nicely," he said.

"It was just the first overs shortly with the white ball, as it has done a little bit."

"He had just a few carry in it, and I believe that Sri Lanka could have looked at and thought that he did much more that it actually did.".

In Manchester, where the field will be something of an unknown for the most part after be turned 90 degrees last winter, Cook said: "we want to just a few carry on it."

"Many the fact of this window here, but the way we played in the end proves that it is the best, that we played four games."

Stuart Broad happy with catches of Notts but tests more sensitive expected against the India

Pleasure of Stuart Broad distancing five first window in a year will be tempered by the knowledge that Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Ms Dhoni will provide a more severe opposition to the week next of the Lord that tail of Somerset Wednesday.

Lower order of Somerset is among the most fragile on the county circuit and Steve Kirby, Adam Dibble and Murali Kartik are little valued scalps.

But broad was ruthless in a rapid field and three of the last five wickets that fell in 10 overs claimed.

Wide as finished with five for 95, his best return since he had a career best eight for 52 against Warwickshire last season, a significant improvement on the figures 15 of 832 in 190 overs in all this season prior to the game of cricket.

"From my point of view he renversé reversed at good pace, moved the ball off the field and in the air and for the five wickets was a late return," Nottinghamshire captain Chris Read said.

"Everyone knows it was a little short of ATMs in any game since he returned from his injury, it is a pleasure for him to be in the column of wickets.

Wide, which was still viewed by national selector Geoff Miller, should be included in the team for the Lord and read believes that it remains a key member of the seam attack.

"I think it is one of the leaders of the attack to England for the past two years, there is still a young bowler but he bowls at 90 km/h and we know what he can do with its height and rebound, it can generate," said Read.

Broad had NightWatchman Steve Kirby LBW support external, unstable beginner Dibble with one that bounced and he has left and wrapped the sleeves when Kartik caught behind the sculpture.

Alex Hales then ensured that the large efforts were not wasted by charting his path in a century that says champions after an early innings familiar wobble.

Hales was already touted as a potential opener of a day in the near future England, after a few catchy bat towers before the television cameras in.

He showed that he can play the plu too game by converting her sixth sleeves of 50 eight championship in its first century of the season and the second of his career.

Nottinghamshire have been tested by Kirby, who ran in a heavily all day and get and set when he broke the bat but Hales won his battle with county cricket pantomime villain.

Hales has offered two hard chances, including Chris Jones to the external environment where he gets a point off the coast of Kirby, but otherwise he timed the ball beautifully in a 170-ball century which contained 15 fours and a take-off six leads off the coast of Kartik.

Adam Voges and Steven Mullaney has helped Hales rebuild the sleeves with Voges contributing half a century rapid before he was overthrown assume arms to Dibble's inaugural first window class.

The ashes of 2010: pin bowling England are vying to replace Stuart Broad wounded in tour match against Victoria

With Graeme Swann, Anderson is an essential in the England attack component especially now that Stuart Broad has been invalidated by the tour with a torn stomach muscle.

Broad was to go to the homepage, but decided to stay in Australia for a short stay.

Anderson has had six wickets in sweeping victory England on the Australia in Adelaide and conducting a blow of the CAP in the second round.

While it is inevitable, its brief paternity leave disrupt this dynamic as well as the introduction of a different new-ball partner for the next test on 16 December.

Yet it is a minor problem in the Australia, judging by the primal Cree from public and media here.

The three candidates for this role, Chris Tremlett, Tim Bresnan and Ajmal Shahzad, will play in the game three days against Victoria Bushrangers at the CWM starting Friday, but you have the impression that Flower knows who he wants the Waca height.

It would not confirm a name they would probably open bowling, after considering that it is unlikely that Steve Finn could be co-opted to share the new ball with Anderson.

Curator at the promised Waca England a fast pitch bouncing to the test when they play the Australia here five weeks ago.

Since offshore height, rhythm and aggression which would be appropriate, the closest match is Chris Tremlett, while perhaps lacking that streak méchant separates effective talented pace launchers.

"Tremlett brings heavy bounce the ball coming from this height," Flower, confirmed as he crossed the merits of the three candidates.

"Is not explicit but he bowls a uniform length and it required a drummer when someone height and size runs you." It will bring consistency and it is what he was doing well this English last summer.

"Bresnan is an experienced cricket player and man strong." It is exact and skilful bowls reverse swing can bat and too many on the ground. Some people consider that it has a medium pacer but it fast enough to beat the good players bowls with a rapid bouncer.

"Frédéric bowls for left handers, as we saw in Hobart, although this does not mean that it is not effective against doing so. When the ball reverse can there be in both directions. He is strong and capable and can run for you throughout the day. »

At this stage Tremlett seems to be the favorite for Perth but flowers and bowling coach David Saker also will seek for the pointers to the test day after Christmas at the CWM.

It is about 12 years ago, but Dean Headley won England test it with just the kind of reverse-swing skiddy, now offered by Frédéric.

Plans, as demonstrated in this team England and his coaches, not begin and end with the next task.

Tremlett took seven wickets against the Australia Hobart a few weeks ago, and another good performance here would rivet probably the square.

"It would be fantastic to be picked in the Perth test team", said Wednesday.

"But I can not put too much pressure on myself at stake here that looks too well in advance, and it is that you are likely to fall short."

"You can only feel sympathy for Stuart and what happened to him." They are quite big shoes to fill, but it is for someone to step up and do that job and if it's me I think I can do.

With only 15 players available, England are likely to rest their multiple makers century Alastair Cook, Kevin Pietersen as well as test launchers, Finn and Swann.

Officials unique series hundreds, as Andrew Strauss and Jonathan Trott, will have to play, even if there are fewer possibilities of Eoin Morgan and Steven Davies, having a game too with Davies with gloves of Matt Prior, who will play as a drummer.

While England feeling relaxed and confident enough to allow a player and rest, others Australia blunder of the alternatives to the underperforming rabble routed at the Adelaide oval paternity leave.

Twenty years ago, their selection criteria used to be simple - players have been replaced by gravity exerts tension made Beaver on their form they have done.

Today, there is a much better living to be made from cricket and players cling well after the dates of sale - by previous generations, a habit that has allowed players to living together in a team.

But confusion reign and so many critics call for a reform followed by an injection of new blood, there is a number equal to play the card of nostalgia and to insist on a return by Shane Warne.

For a rationalist as he Flower hypocritical season of stupid and when asked what he done a consortium attempt to raise funds to lure back Warne, it seemed perplexed, saying: "" I guess that someone is mess around for a joke - Shane Warne retired international cricket. ""

But Flower may be underestimating sense of Warne theatre and the allure of a crowd of aftermath of liquidation at the CWM allegedly, not only for him, but in a country want to return to the good old days of Australian domination.

Stuart Broad struggles to make his case for an England recall

Stuart Broad fired some blanks in his shoot-out with Tim Bresnan for a place in England’s side for next week’s first Test against India while James Hildreth and Craig Kieswetter shared a record fifth wicket stand.

Broad, who was dropped by England for last Saturday’s one day decider against Sri Lanka, was sent back to county cricket to regain form after a lean spell at international level.

With national selector Geoff Miller looking on Broad had mixed fortunes on a Trent Bridge greentop.

He struck with his seventh ball when Arul Suppiah edged to second slip but Broad had to to wait until his last over of the day for his next wicket when Hildreth fended a leg-side catch to Chris Read.

There was a minor injury scare when Broad , who started the match with a bruised left heel, left the field to have his right ankle an ankle strapped.

He had summoned groundstaff to repair the footholds at the Radcliffe Road End during the lunch interval and switched ends after the interval.

“I thought that his first spell with the new ball was excellent and he bowled pretty well throughout the day, perhaps not so well at the end but we were trying to mix it up and come up with some funky plans to get a wicket after a 250 stand,” said Nottinghamshire director of cricket Mick Newell.

Those funky plans included Broad going round the wicket to change the angle of attack which finally broke a fifth wicket stand of 290, Somerset’s highest for any wicket against Nottinghamshire.

But not before Hildreth and Kieswetter had rescued Somerset from a perilous 48 for four on a pitch that was so green it was difficult to distinguish it from the rest of the square until the wickets were pitched.

It was tough going early on, particularly against Andre Adams who got bounce and movement from the green pitch.

Once Hildreth and Kieswetter were established Nottinghamshire could not dislodge them. Several edges fell short of the slips, but none went to hand and the played with increasing authority.

Kieswetter accelerated from an 83 ball 50 to his century in just 61 balls then pulled Broad for six on his way to an unbeaten 151.

Hildreth was less fluent in completing his first century of the season but his late dismissal will have lifted Broad’s spirits as he battles for his Test place.

“Stuart has perhaps suffered in comparison to [James] Anderson and [Chris] Tremlett throughout the Sri Lanka series and for the first time in his England career his place is under a little bit more threat than normal,” Newell said.

Broad's day

Mixed fortunes for the England paceman, who took two for 75 in 23 overs. He struck with his seventh ball but had to bowl another 21 overs before he claimed his other wicket. He also left the field for seven overs in mid-afternoon to have an existing ankle injury re-strapped.

V Sri Lanka England: failure of Stuart Broad to find the right length will continue to see falling short

Here we go again: a broad inconsolable Stuart watches the ball through another gap race as his search for the perfect length continued Photo: REUTERS

Broad has a barren spell. It was just his ninth wicket in five trials, extending the ashes, at a rate of more than 100 strike - almost double what expect you of an opening bowler. And with only two of these wickets having been among the top five batsmen, his right to take the new ball is at risk.


What is worrying, despite its considerable efforts, broad result not threatening. Almost every delivery of James anderson and Chris Tremlett at the Rose Bowl was spiced with threat. Most of the offshore seemed to fade, they the korma to vinderloo of the Tremlett. Spoilt for choice in the Department of fast bowling, England could have granted to abandon wide had their summer another match test from next week. He has just three crops of five-window in 37 tests. Tremlett and wide are rhythm and similar height. The two are more seamers than swingers. However, there is a significant difference in their actions of body which makes the former aspect a drummer in the world and the latter a brow-beater.


Tremlett, an intimidating presence, running jumps in his delivery stride and gets lots of front arm and shoulder in his release. There are lot of kinetic energy on the ball and the vertebral column in his bowling.


Large, which has a spindlier framework, sipman wicket but not rotate so the fold and throws his arm out front to the offside just before the exit. This is more of a bowler "arm", and the momentum of the body are not in agreement with the direction of the delivery. It is not completely "behind" the ball. Bowlers with actions of good body - Tremlett, Anderson and Tim Bresnan, for example-, are able to make the ball apparently kick or zip off the coast of the surface. When perfectly synchronized step, wide soft to plop out of it. Any swing goes early flight, its stock has less obvious venom delivery.


It is a technical defect wide works continuously to iron out. It compensates for its lack of rancour natural with an intelligent understanding of the game and an agile mind. It assesses heights, drummers and conditions carefully, to research, for example, at the speed of the wind and the direction, would not help swing but the calculation of which end a bouncer be more effective because a hooking drummer could be struck in the breeze. He has great adaptability, capable of converting to 80 high pace bowling cutters or cross-seam deliveries dotted with sharp bouncers. In the opinion of his colleagues in England, he has the most awkward bumper in cricket world.


But the orientation of the coast is tilted at the start of the match and he resorted to the using the bouncer as the ball stock rather than shock, cancel its effectiveness. More than half its shipments have been little or very short, when conditions requires even fuller than usual. Good length deliveries lacked power, he returned to the short mode.


It must have been galling, after his sincere but efforts remains unsuccessful Friday, to see Graeme Swann stroll, lob down and take a wicket second ball. Such is volatility in this game, almost at random, he smiles on some and banned on others. It challenges your self belief. For Broad, series one day next week will be a blessed relief.

Stuart Broad happy with haul for Notts but trickier tests await against India

Stuart Broad’s delight at taking his first five wicket haul in a year will be tempered by the knowledge that Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and MS Dhoni will provide tougher opposition at Lord’s next week than Somerset’s tail did on Wednesday.

Somerset’s lower order is among the most fragile on the county circuit and Steve Kirby, Adam Dibble and Murali Kartik are hardly prized scalps.

But Broad was ruthless on a quick pitch and claimed three of the last five wickets that tumbled in ten overs.

Broad finished with five for 95, his best return since he took a career best eight for 52 against Warwickshire last season, a significant improvement on figures 15 for 832 in 190 overs in all cricket this season before this match.

“From my point of view he bowled with good pace, moved the ball off the pitch and through the air and to get five wickets was a fine return,” Nottinghamshire captain Chris Read said.

“Everyone knows he has been a little bit short of wickets in all form of the game since he came back from his injury so it’s pleasing for him to be in the wickets column again.”

Broad, who was again watched by national selector Geoff Miller, is expected to be included in the squad for Lord’s and Read believes that he remains a key member of the seam attack.

“I think he has been among the leaders of that England attack for the last couple of years, he’s still a young bowler but he bowls at 90mph and we know what he can do with his height and the bounce he can generate,” Read said.

Broad had nightwatchman Steve Kirby LBW backing away, unsettled debutant Dibble with one that bounced and left him and wrapped up the innings when Kartik was caught behind carving.

Alex Hales then ensured that Broad’s efforts were not wasted by stroking his way to a century which steadied the champions after a familiar early innings wobble.

Hales has already been touted as potential England one-day opener of the near future after some eye-catching innings in front of the television cameras.

He showed that he can play the longer game too by converting his sixth 50 in eight championship innings into his first century of the season and second of his career.

Nottinghamshire were tested by Kirby who ran in strongly all day and snarled and stared when he beat the bat but Hales won his battle with county cricket’s pantomime villain.

Hales offered two hard chances, including one to Chris Jones at mid off when he got a leading edge off Kirby, but otherwise he timed the ball beautifully in a 170-ball century that contained 15 fours and an off driven six off Kartik.

Adam Voges and Steven Mullaney helped Hales rebuild the innings with Voges contributing a rapid half century before he was bowled shouldering arms to give Dibble his maiden first-class wicket.

Stuart Broad v Tim Bresnan: The expert verdicts on who should start for England at Lord's against India

There were reasonable signs for him in that game. He got the ball through at good pace in the first innings when the wicket seemed to be quicker.

He then bowled a good eight-over spell in the second innings against Somerset, which really got him going. He could have picked up more than just the one wicket. As it was he dismissed their best player - Marcus Trescothick - so you have got to be happy with that.

That said, I don’t think Stuart’s performance in that game will be hugely influential on whether he plays at Lord’s.

If it had gone particularly badly it could have affected him, but ultimately it’s down to conditions at Lord’s and whether the selectors want a swing bowler or a more bouncy bowler against India.

England seem to have demonstrated on a number of occasions the faith they have in him. They talk a lot about the confidence they have in him, so this is the time to show it.

Andrew Gale (Yorkshire captain)

I like to pick people who are in form and Tim showed in the recent

one-day series against Sri Lanka that he is definitely the man in form at the moment.

People might have thought that he would be a little bit under-cooked after his injury but he came back and found his rhythm straight away. That’s a big thing and so, if it was my call, I would probably go for him ahead of Stuart Broad.

Tim bowled really well for us in our County Championship match against Worcestershire at Scarborough last week. He hadn’t bowled in a

four-day game for a while but he put the ball in good areas consistently throughout, he got four wickets in the first innings and he also contributed well so we were delighted with him.

He would probably have liked to have played a couple more four-day games but most of the England boys have not played any four-day cricket since the recent Test series against Sri Lanka.

Tim probably has the edge over Stuart Broad as a batsman. He’s been very solid with the bat for us this season.

He made 87 in his first championship match against Hampshire back in May and he also got 41 in the first innings against Worcestershire last week so he is consistent.

He’s also probably a bit more consistent with the ball than Broad. Tim bowls a fuller length than Stuart and gets the ball to swing.

But he’s a versatile bowler because he also has the ability to reverse swing the ball.

He did that to great effect in the Ashes series in Australia last winter where he played a key role and that versatility makes him a slightly different bowler to Stuart and a good performer when it matters most.

England ttwweennttyy captaincy could ensure that Stuart Broad bounces back

Winning colours: Stuart Broad will be captain and attack in the shock of ttwweennttyy Sri Lanka photo: PA

England describe wide as the "enforcer", a reflection of his personality and his bowling coach David Saker, but for ttwweennttyy next Saturday against Sri Lanka at Bristol, he will have to show there is more to his game to an ability to intimidate.


He is not a great series, although he reversed a better fate yesterday evening, but the change of red balloon blank should offer a release. Wide is the leader of the attack on England in one day cricket - James Anderson is not yet certain of its place - and perhaps by being captain and have to concentrate on others in the team, it will itself under the same amount of pressure that he is to the Rose Bowl.


Broad won the ttwweennttyy capitanat an excellent interview and the fact that andy Flower believes that he has a sharp cricket brain, something first impressed on the coach in the Caribbean two years ago. Flower organised the England team in two teams with broad captaining a side.


He showed inventiveness with its parameters of field to get wickets and a Saturday rehearsal, during an international ttwweennttyy burly hubbub, will help to change the debate about its place in the Test team due to a password in the form which has left him with 10 wickets in his last five games.


Yesterday, it is relegated in first change bowler with Andrew Strauss, recognizing that it was time to promote Chris Tremlett.


This could be some time before broad gets his chance again. Broad opened the bowling in 20 Tests for England and taking 48 wickets at 39. A comparative height opening bowler and the style, Morne Morkel South Africa, has a rate of 53.4 to 76.5 of offshore to strike and took 10 wickets over in five Tests less.


Three five-window of the wide crops have been taken as a change of first or second, adding weight to the argument that this is where it belongs to the hierarchical order.


Wide gave Tremlett a clap encouraging when he opened the bowling, but was clearly pumped to prove a point when he put the hand on the ball. He ran hard and a bouncer in his prime on cleared the wicketkeeper Matt prior Chief. He then struck Lahiru Thirimanne on the finger with a benefit which took badly off a good length. There was a lot of aggression and pace more of 86 MPH, but also a suggestion that he was the head of the demons. There was more control to his bowling less legside deliveries and two of his first six overs were girls. Finally, he was rewarded with the wicket of Mahela Jayawardene.


For England to be the best team in Test cricket they need three world-class Rapids, and they are not far from candidates to fill these roles.


Offshore on Test place is under threat and emphasized the point Tim Bresnan return from a calf injury this week when he plays a ttwweennttyy Yorkshire match. Dating back to Bresnan for the first Test against the India, England would raise the attack which won ashes and choose a bowler who had a broad attribute failed recently - control.


In the wide mitigation measures may point to the fact that he followed largely the orders against Sri Lanka. He has been criticized for bowling too short but England believe he has the best bouncer cricket world and encouraged Sri Lankan pepper drummers. The problem has been his line. Deliveries of leg side last week Lord forced Matt Prior, under the terms of Graeme Swann, to do his best "Peter Shilton impression." The goal now is to build on improving Sunday and lead front.

Cricket World Cup 2011: England's Stuart Broad has scan on side strain and is a doubt for Bangladesh match

 Bitter blow: Stuart Broiad has undergone a scan on his left side the results of which are expected later on Tuesday Photo: GETTY IMAGES

Broad took a career-best 4-15 in the match at Chennai but had tests Tuesday morning and is now awaiting the results to find out the seriousness of the injury.


"I'm not too down at the minute because I don't know what the injury is," Broad said. "But obviously, I'll be bitterly disappointed if it's the end of my World Cup.


"I've not had a side strain in this manner before and I dont know the symptoms but I do know it's a bit sore at the moment I'm doubtful for Friday's game but I dont know anymore than that.


"It's a common injury among bowlers, if the injury is an actual tear you have to take your time and not rush back."


England has already lost star batsman Kevin Pietersen for the rest of the tournament because he needs hernia surgery, drafting in Eoin Morgan as a replacement.


"Pending further assessments of scans we will also know what the outlook is like for the rest of the tournament," England and Wales Cricket Board spokesman James Avery said.


Broad played in England's opening win over the Netherlands but missed the subsequent high-scoring tie against India because of a stomach complaint. He returned for the shock loss against Ireland.


Broad sustained a side strain on the recently completed tour of Australia but the current injury is a new one and unrelated to past problems.


"It's in a different area," Broad said. "I didn't get the short stabbing pain that I did in the Ashes, so that's a good sign this is not as severe as that."


Broad said he felt the injury when he returned to bowl for his second spell against South Africa and that the injury stiffened up when the adrenaline of the match faded.


Ajmal Shahzad is the most likely replacement for Broad should he fail to recover.

Travel prone Stuart Broad ready for World Cup onslaught... but are England?

 Travel weary? Stuart Broad is set for another sojourn, this time to the sub-continent Photo: GETTY IMAGES

“I’ve got to unpack from Australia and then pack again at some stage,” he says. “If it wasn’t the last minute, I wouldn’t get anything done anyway.”


Welcome to the life of an England cricketer in 2011. Three days at home – which Broad has selflessly spent with his father Chris and sister Gemma promoting their new motor neurone charity, The Broad Appeal – then back on the treadmill.


England embark on a transcontinental trek that could potentially take them 6,500 miles, to nine cities, in three countries, in seven weeks.


At the best of times, that is a lot of minibuses and airport baggage carousels. Coming so soon after an exhausting Ashes tour, it verges, like many of England’s players, on madness.


“I don’t know what time I’m on, to be honest,” Broad said. “I’m quite a good sleeper, so jet lag doesn’t affect me too much. I just sleep all through the day. It’s a pretty hectic schedule that we’ve been through over the past six months, but I’m excited about going to the World Cup. Everyone is.”


Towards the end of the one-day series in Australia, as the injuries began to pile up, an unusually outspoken Andy Flower made clear his disapproval of the schedule. While the adrenalin generated by a World Cup campaign may power England’s players through the first couple of weeks, if things start going against them, they will almost inevitably begin to feel those tired limbs.


In an ideal world, Broad admits, the squad would have been better rested.


“But the schedule’s the way it is. It is very hectic, but that’s part and parcel of being an international cricketer. You’ve just got to crack on and make sure we’re as refreshed as possible.”


Besides, Broad can hardly cry fatigue, given that he will be staying in India for another six weeks after the tournament to play in the IPL.


Of more pressing concern is Broad’s recovery from the abdominal injury that cut short his Ashes series. Despite flying out to Australia to join the one-day squad for the end of the series, he has not played since the Adelaide Test, and not played a one-day game since September. England’s two warm-up games in Fatullah will therefore be crucial in getting him match fit.


“I feel 100 per cent,” he said. “It’s been a bit of a long road back, but I’m feeling strong, feeling good, and hoping to play a full part.”


England’s chances of winning their first World Cup will depend on key players such as Broad lasting the course. The Homeric schedule, though, will not help them. “The only World Cup I’ve been involved in on a full scale was the World Twenty20,” Broad said. “That went fantastically well. The games are packed in and there seemed to be a great balance. The 50-over one does go on for a long time, but as players we just play the cards we’re dealt.”


None the less, Broad believed England could upset the odds and win the tournament. “With the sort of cricket we know we can play, we’ve got a good chance,” he said.


So, can England repeat their success in the Caribbean last year? To borrow the words of Fred Trueman: aye, but whoever does it will be ------ tired.

Travel subject Stuart Broad ready for the onslaught of the... World Cup but are in England?

Tired of travel? Stuart Broad is set for another trip, this time in the sub-continent Photo: GETTY IMAGES

I've got to unpack Australia and packaging and then again at some point, "he says. "If it wasn't at the last minute, wouldn't get everything done the same."


Welcome to the life of a player of cricket in England in 2011. Three days at home - that broad generously spent with his father, Chris, and sister Gemma promote their new motor neuron charity, broad appeal--and then again on the treadmill.


England embark on a transcontinental trek that could potentially take 6,500 miles in nine cities in three countries in seven weeks.


At best, it is lot of minibus and airport baggage carousels. In such a short time after a gruelling tour of ashes, he verges, as many players from England, of madness.


"I don't know what time I am to be honest," said wide. I am quite a good sleeper, this shift affects me too. I sleep just throughout the day. This is a pretty hectic schedule we were six months through, but I am excited about going to the World Cup. "Everyone is".


Towards the end of a day in Australia series as injuries start to accumulate, Andy Flower unusually outspoken clearly his disapproval of the annex. While adrenaline generated World Cup campaign can power players in England by the first two weeks, if things start to go against them, they will be almost inevitably begin to feel tired members.


In a world ideal, wide admits, the team would have been better justified.


"But the timing of how it is." It is very busy, but part of being a player in international cricket. You just have to crack down and make sure that we are as up-to-date as possible. »


In addition, wide can hardly cry fatigue, because it will continue to India for another six weeks after the tournament to play in IPL.


Recovery of large abdominal injury which cut short his ashes series is most pressing concern. In spite of flight Australia to join the team for a day to the end of the series, he has not played since the Test of Adelaide and not played a game a day since September. Two warm-up games Fatullah England will therefore be crucial in getting him fit game.


"I feel 100 percent", he said. "It was a bit of a long way back, but I feel strong feeling well and hoping to play a full role."


Chance England won their first World Cup will depend on players such that broad key during the course. Homer schedule, however, not help them. "" World Cup only I participated in a full scale was the ttwweennttyy world, broad said. ""Which is marvellously well. Games are packed in and there seemed to be a great balance. More than 50 one is long, but as play us just cards we have treated players. »


Nevertheless, in England thought broad could upset the odds and win the tournament. "With the kind of cricket, we know that we can play, we have a good chance", he said.


Thus, England can repeat their success in the Caribbean last year? In the words of Fred Trueman: aye, but that it will be - tired.
