England's Stuart Broad eyes winning finale
Twenty20 captain Stuart Broad today challenged England to end their miserable Australian tour on a high by claiming a series win in the shortest format.
England will bid to regain some lost pride in the three-match series, which begins in Hobart tomorrow morning.
Broad is one of five players who have remained Down Under since England landed three months ago, during which time just one win has been managed in 10 games against Australia.
The 27-year-old admits the prospect of at least winning a series on tour, with the World Twenty20 less than two months away, will drive him on.
"It would be huge," he said. "England cricket has been through a tough three months. There are a lot of hurt players because we have not done ourselves justice on the field. There is a real hunger in this group to finish this tour well.
"Australia have had the better of us for three months and for the five guys who have been involved in all three squads it has been a really tough time. We have an opportunity to leave this tour with a little bit of happiness. That's what we want to do."
Australia will field a weakened team for with their Test players off to South Africa. David Warner, Shane Watson and Mitchell Johnson will all be absent.
