England Top-order Batsmen Hold the Key says Stuart Broad

Forthcoming two-Test series with New Zealand and the England's top order found life a lot harder going in New Zealand someplace the teams in recent times common a three-match series 0-0.

The England only runaway a surprise series defeat thanks to a dazzling last-ditch unbeaten hundred from wicket-keeper Matt Prior that without New Zealand victory by just one wicket in the third Test in Auckland.

A team looking back at New Zealand, agree to our skills were not as high-quality as they could have been but the fighting nature to bat out two days to set aside match is the sort of spirit you need in Test cricket," Broad said at Lord's on Tuesday.

A centrepiece of England's time of year will be the Ashes series against Australia opening in July but Broad insist New Zealand were extra than a side show.

At the same time as England's bowlers were fixed sending down 27 maidens from first to last the day, the New Zealanders kept back the runs ticking over thanks to the little boundaries at Eden Park, which is in general used as a rugby venue.

The peter fulton century was the highlight refreshing a Test career he fear over before he was recalled for this series after more than three years in the rough country and the Fulton previous best was 75, managed a 79-run stand up with Rutherford then shared with Williamson for an unbeaten 171 in New Zealand's best batting show in the Test series.
