Aussies are on the hop, says Broad

London, Aug.7 (ANI): England fast bowler Stuart Broad reckons England's tough nuts have caught the Aussies on the hop.

Tempers flared during the Third Test and, with The Ashes now in sight, there could be fireworks at Headingley.

Broad said that he loved clashing with hot headed out-of-sorts Australian fast bowler Mitchell Johnson.

"I am not sure how much you could print of the exchange I had with Johnson but I relished it. I have a naturally attacking mindset - anything up it was off. I don't think he liked that. We've surprised them a bit, we've shown we're a tough team. If someone stares at you, we stare back," The Sun quoted him, as saying.

Broad was speaking on the sidelines of a promotional for the five-star Flaxby Country resort and is part of Skelwith Leisure's ambassador programme. (ANI)
