England fast bowler Stuart Broad says it won’t be express pace, but creating relentless pressure that will hold the key for his side in the Ashes tour in Australia later this year.

Premier pacer Jofra Archer has been ruled out of the tour due to an elbow injury while England will also be without Olly Stone, who has been troubled by a back issue. It means veteran James Anderson will lead the attack which will have just one bowler who can consistently bowl 90mph—Mark Wood.
Broad, who was included in coach Chris Silverwood’s 17-member squad for the Ashes due to begin in Brisbane on December 8 after recovering from a calf injury, said England have a Plan B and it should work for them against Australia.
“We often, in England, talk about express pace, but that’s not what I’m seeing. It’s relentlessness with the ball. It’s [Glenn] McGrath-like that you do for a long period of time. It’s not bowling bad balls and releasing the pressure,” Broad was quoted as saying by The Telegraph.
