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.
