The hatred from the Australian supporters, according to England paceman Jofra Archer will only boost their team’s confidence ahead of the Ashes series. Stuart Broad, according to Jofra Archer, will be motivated to perform better by a raucous reception from the audience.
Broad, who is about to go on his fourth Ashes tour, took a lot of heat during the 2013-14 series. Broad was dubbed a “cheat” by spectators for holding firm despite being caught at slip during the 2013 leg in England. Archer, on the other hand, believes the experienced seamen is ready to face the music once more.
Jofra Archer acknowledged in his Daily Mail column that England players are subjected to jibes. From the time they step off the team van.
“Over here when you go to the ground on the morning of a match, everyone is talking to you, wishing you well. But in Australia that encouragement is replaced by hostility and people are getting into you from the moment you step off the team bus. It’s the kind of setting that a fierce competitor like Stuart Broad has come to thrive in. That’s what I expect him to do in this upcoming series.” he said
“He tends to get lots of abuse over there — but that only spurs him on. Broad is a typical England player, one of the guys who really feeds off the England-Australia rivalry. Always wants to beat the old enemy because it’s in his blood.” he added
