Nottinghamshire pace man Stuart Broad is banking on home support when he lines up for England in the Second Investec Test against West Indies at Trent Bridge.
Broad’s hat-trick was the champagne moment of a memorable win over India last summer and a hot forecast and spirited showing from the West Indies at Lord’s has set the scene for an intriguing Test.
“I love playing at Trent Bridge,” said Broad.
“It's a fantastic ground, the home support is brilliant and looking back to last summer it was great to get the win.
"We got the new ball when India were in a very strong position and when the sun is out Trent Bridge can play very well for the batsmen.
"I remember Straussy said 'Let's go for broke. Let's try to hit the stumps. Don't worry too much about the runs because we need to make to make some breakthroughs'. Fortunately that worked me.
"I don't think it could have been much better. It was a Saturday evening about 5pm and the crowd was really lively. The atmosphere was incredible when I bowled Kumar for the hat-trick it went wild. I have very fond memories of that."
