We take pleasure in each other's success: Broad

Stuart Broad has said the great thing about the England bowlers is that every bowler genuinely takes as much pleasure in each other's successes.

"What odds would you have got on India failing to reach 300 in six innings in the first three Tests with their array of batting superstars? The great thing about our bowling unit is that we genuinely take as much pleasure in each other's successes as our own. It doesn't matter who takes the 10 wickets," Broad wrote in his column in The Daily Mail.

"When I was a kid and a fan I got the impression at times that Darren Gough and Andy Caddick were almost competing against each other to take wickets. We put pressure on together and squeeze the opposition as a pack," he said.

Broad said the credit for this should go to coach Andy Flower and captain Andrew Strauss. "A huge amount of credit for this has to go to Flower and Andrew Strauss. It is the players who step on the field and have to be judged but the amount of preparation and hard work that has gone into this achievement is phenomenal," said Broad.

On batting coach Graham Gooch, Broad said: "Graham Gooch makes sure that no one is happy with a hundred.

They have to make it a big one, one of his 'daddies'. And if one of us is batting with someone who has just reached a century it is up to us to remind them to go on and make it big and help them get there."
