Stuart Broad has said he's ready to lead England's attack as they bid for an Ashes-clinching win against Australia at his Trent Bridge home ground in the absence of James Anderson.
Broad is set to be England's senior bowler in Nottingham after longtime new-ball partner Anderson was ruled out of the fourth Test with a side injury suffered during an eight-wicket win at Edgbaston on Friday that put the hosts 2-1 up in the five-match series.
Not only is Anderson England's most successful Test bowler of all-time, with 413 wickets - including an Ashes-best six for 47 at Edgbaston - he also has a brilliant record at Trent Bridge.
The 33-year-old swing and seam boBut 29-year-old Nottinghamshire paceman Broad, a veteran of 82 Tests, is an experienced campaigner in his own right.
"In Jimmy's absence it's going to be up to all the other bowlers to step up," Broad told the Mail on Sunday.
"I've probably not got as many wickets as I'd have liked during this series (12 in three matches at 27.41 apiece) but I feel as if I've bowled the best I've bowled for a long time.
"You don't know what's going to happen but hopefully I'll take on that extra responsibility to ensure we're not crying out for Jimmy over the next couple of days," he added.
Broad heads into the Trent Bridge clash, which starts on Thursday, just one wicket away from becoming only the fifth England bowler to take 300 Test wickets after Anderson, Ian Botham, Bob Willis and the late Fred Trueman.
"It would have been nice to have got there at Edgbaston but the chance to achieve it at Trent Bridge is incredibly exciting," he said.
"I'm told only 11 players have scored 2,000 runs and taken 300 wickets in the history of the (Test) game so it's quite an illustrious company." - AFP
