Marcus Trescothick, England’s batting coach, praised Stuart Broad after he ended his final innings with the bat with a typically combative six. ‘To think you could hit your last ball for six … good for him,’ Trescothick said. ‘It was really nice to get that reception, the reward for the hard work and dedication he’s put in for such a long time’.
Trescothick was feeling positive about England’s hopes of getting a win to end the series with a 2-2 draw. ‘I think the game’s in a great position, isn’t it? And I think we’re still pretty positive about the job we’ve got to do,’ he said. ‘[Australia] had a good start with the bat and saw off the new ball – [but] a couple of early ones in the morning and suddenly we’re right back in the mix again.’
