Ashes 2021: It's what you live for- Stuart Broad ready for battle with hostile Gabba crowd in series opener

England fast bowler Stuart Broad has made a brilliant admission less than a week out from the Gabba Test, saying he is ready to face the hostile Australian crowd in the Ashes series.

England pacer Stuart Broad is "buzzing" to play at the Gabba in the first Test of the Ashes series as he admitted that he is ready to compete in front of a hostile Australian crowd in the series opener. The Gabba has long been a fortress for Australia, with England winning only four times in 21 matches at the venue.

"It's what you train for, it's what you live for. Playing at the Gabba is one of the best cricketing experiences that you can have. It has that same feeling as (playing at) The Wanderers in South Africa," Broad told reporters on Friday.
