Stuart Broad was disappointed after England struggled to perform in the first two matches of the ODI series against the Proteas and demanded answers from Brendon McCullum.
Then, in the second ODI, the hosts displayed a good fight, but ended up facing a 5-run loss. Opting to bowl first, England allowed South Africa to post 330/8, and while chasing, got restricted to 325/9.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the second ODI, Stuart Broad questioned what is the vision of the English ODI team under Brendon McCullum. He said:
I suppose we’re not quite sure what the game plan is - Stuart Broad
Stuart Broad bluntly said that Team England are currently in a confused state of mind and they are not aware of what exactly the game plan is. He also slammed the players for their flat body language.
"I look at the body language in the field, and the bowlers, and it felt pretty flat compared to the energy that Tristan Stubbs brings to the group, or Brevis brings to the group.”
Stuart Broad demands rest for Joe Root, Ben Duckett
The pace-bowling legend further said that the likes of Ben Duckett and Joe Root have been overworked and are in desperate need of a break.
“They played 25 days of solid, hard cricket against India in a Test series, two days later straight into the Hundred. Now they’re playing a white-ball series, and the winter is only getting busier, so I think there are some jaded minds. I’ve not seen Ben Duckett not find the middle of the bat for as long as that in any form of cricket.”
