England T20 skipper Stuart Broad praised fast bowler Jade Dernbach after his match-winning performance finishing with figures of three for 23 in his four overs against Australia in the second T20I at Chester-le-Street.

“We can’t ask much more of Jade than the last two games. We wanted to take the wicket-taking options whenever we could. Both batting performances have been exceptional. We still need to nail our skills a bit better with the ball, but the wickets have been fantastic,” said Broad after England’s 27-run win, as reported by www.cricket365.com.

“After losing the toss the guys adapted to conditions really well. To get 60 off the first six was a great effort. We didn’t even need the powers of Jos Buttler, Hales and Lumb did very, very well,” concluded Broad.

The two teams will not play five One-Day Internationals (ODI) starting on Friday in Leeds.
