Overview
- Broad told Sky Sports that Atkinson's demeanor does not reflect a Test bowler in a battle and called it an area for improvement.
- He praised Atkinson's skills, citing seam wobble, swing, height and a career bowling average under 25, while urging stronger on-field presence.
- Atkinson managed six wickets in three Ashes Tests at roughly a 47 average before being sidelined.
- His hamstring issue makes him England's third injured seamer of the series after Jofra Archer and Mark Wood were also ruled out.
- Using Tiger Woods as an example, Broad advised keeping eyes above the horizon so opponents cannot read pressure, with the final Test starting January 4 in Sydney.
