England’s Broad shoulder now 100%
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
England pace bowler Stuart Broad is available for selection for the third one-day international against South Africa in Cape Town on Friday.
The Nottinghamshire bowler has revealed his shoulder is now fully recovered and he is going to be 100 per cent fit to face the fancied Proteas (South Africa 4/7 in 3rd ODI betting).
England are available at 7/5 with Totesport, despite having won the second ODI by seven wickets without their Ashes fifth Test hero who has been missing for the early part of the tour, but now can’t wait to get stuck into Graeme Smith’s side.
“The shoulder’s pretty much 100%… and it’s just about pushing for selection now,” Broad told BBC Sport.
“It’s been frustrating on a personal note because you always want to play and when you’re missing matches it’s tough to watch, but it’s been great to see how well the boys have played.
“I don’t think injuries are ever a good thing but it has given me a chance to put a lot of hours in in the gym and get very strong.”
Graeme Swann and Alastair Cook are both doubtful for the clash at Newlands as they are still struggling with side and back problems respectively.
With the first ODI washed out, England are one-up in the series with three to play and are currently available at 13/8 in Totesport’s series outright market, with the draw at 13/10 and South Africa on offer at 5/2.
