Stuart Broad ready to put last year's Twenty20 World Cup nightmare behind him



Unpredictable Stuart Broad believes he has improved enough to put an end to his Twenty20 World Cup nightmare.
First there were the six sixes clubbed off him by Yuvraj Singh in South Africa during the first tournament in 2007.
Then there was the horror final over against Holland when Broad missed three golden run-out chances and dropped a catch to lose the game.
It is fair to say he and World Twenty20s do not get on, but he has vowed to prove how much better a player he is when the tournament gets under way in the West Indies on Saturday.
"Getting hit out the ground is part of the game," said Broad, who has appeared in most of England's 25 T20 matches and is now a fixture in the side in all forms of the game.
"You must accept you can bowl a perfectly good ball and it can go out the park. That's one of those things.
"But I think I'm a muchchanged bowler since the day Yuvraj hit me for six sixes. It taught me a lot in T20 cricket about not being very predictable
