Stuart Broad

We've only got 12 minutes left on this podcast.

For the love of cricket podcast.

Series as a whole, I actually think 4-1 is probably a fair reflection of the cricket we've seen, to be honest.

This test match I've enjoyed the most, probably.

I didn't do Adelaide, but I thought it was a really good test match pitch and it offered a bit of everything.

But I looked through this and it sort of summed up England's tour, really, this whole test match that sort of did okay.

First things, Joe Root obviously getting a brilliant century, but left a few out there.

If you go and get 450, you sort of sort the game out there and then.

But the moment yesterday when Harry Brooke gets a good one, sort of spins back, LBW from part-time spinner Bo Webster, and then Jax just chips one's deep square leg, and then Jamie Smith sums up his trip by getting run out.

And then...

you never know what that means in that moment of what it means for the rest of the game.

But today, you look at the bowlers and you think, gosh, if you put another 40 runs on that score and bowl much better than what they produced with the new ball, that's almost what is in England's game.

I'm certain of it.

So, you know, I think England missed a trick.

We had dinner last night where we said it felt like you could get Josh Tongue into the game early with a new ball and start with a spinner because it's going to spin and then Travis Head's got to make the

make the play he can't just sit back leg side and cut it away he's got to then hit it and it took us eight overs what are they non for 50 odd you would have opened with jacks i'd have gone roots personally i know he averages over 40 in test cricket but he has that ability to skid the ball on and he can spin it out the rough and he's a he's a game player he's a he's a situation sort of guy i look back at that t20 world cup final in 16 he

unplanned, took the new ball and got two wickets, didn't he, in the first over.

So I would have done that.

It's easy to reflect and say that in hindsight.

But actually, I said it last night, that should have been the play.
