Brits can bounce Back : Broad
Wednesday, 19 November 2008
England paceman Stuart Broad believes his side can still win their seven-match one-day series in India, despite losing the first two games, reports BBC.
England were well beaten in Rajkot and Indore by 158 and 54 runs respectively.
But the bowler told BBC Radio 5 Live: "There are five games left and we know momentum can change quickly in cricket.
"If we can get a few basics right, win the next one and go on a little spree, then we'll be in with a shout and it will be a tight series."
Broad was the pick of England's bowlers in the second game in Indore, claiming three early wickets to reduce India to 29-3, before claiming the prized wicket of Yuvraj Singh for 118 to finish with figures of 4-55.
Chasing 293 for victory, England's reply got off to a solid start, but Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen departed in the same over to spark a collapse that saw the last seven wickets go down for just 55 runs.
"We're still a good side," Broad insisted. "We beat South Africa 4-0 in the summer.
"India is a tough place to come and tour, but we just need a few more things to go our way."
