London: Stuart Broad They say England coach Brendon McCullum dramatic inspired second test win against New Zealand Telling your team to “run to danger”.
McCullum revives England with new captain Ben Stokes And the improvement generated by the positive attitude of the fresh regime has been remarkable.
England had failed to win any of their last five Test series, having won just one of the 17 matches before the current New Zealand competition.
But after thrashing the Test world champions by five wickets for the second consecutive match, England will head to Headingley to complete a clean sweep next week.
England exactly a year ago, under the guidance of the then coach Chris SilverwoodAfter refusing to take the target of 273 runs in 75 overs against New Zealand settled for a draw.
But, fired by Jonny BairstowA brilliant 136 and provocative words from McCullum of England took the win in Nottingham by storm as they chased down 299 runs in just 50 overs.
Broad said, “There’s no doubt that the effect of the eagle has already been made. It feels really fresh and exciting in the changing room. It’s a very positive language.”
“It’s a lot of forward thinking, how to move the game forward. It’s not a dig, but at tea, when we were four down in a little balance with the game, I’ve definitely been in the changing room in the past Where it would be shop hours stay closed.
“Baz’s team talk was very much ‘Let’s attack danger, let’s run towards danger’ so every part of your mind is about to go for this win.
“It was never really ‘If we lose one we can close shop’. It was always ‘We’re going to win’ and if it doesn’t work out, don’t worry about it.”
McCullum vowed to beat the noise around England and Broad was impressed by his ability to combine his vein for the game with a simple mission statement.
“I don’t think he has spoken particularly deeply, his whole mantra is about enjoyment and fun. The energy is: How good is Test cricket? How good is this ground? What can we get today?” The veteran fast bowler said.
“He looks like a guy who has a cricketing mind that’s working all the time, he’s thinking how can we change the game.
“It’s not just praising hundreds, it’s the little things, the pieces of fielding, the pace changes in the game,” he said. He will look into it.
