    "editor1": "<p><strong>Birmingham, July 30 (Cricketnmore)<\/strong> Ahead of the opening Test against India starting here Wednesday, seasoned England pacer Stuart Broad on Monday downplayed the head-to-head battle between visiting captain Virat Kohli and veteran quick James Anderson.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I really don&#39;t agree with the theory that one particular bowler can target a world-class batsman,&quot; Broad was quoted as saying by the International Cricket Council (ICC) website.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;You have to have that pressure and theatre at both ends against that sort of quality -- that&#39;s when you get mistakes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;If he&#39;s able to really watch Jimmy (Anderson) and play carefully but score off me, you&#39;re taking away any advantage as a team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;As a bowling unit, we will just have to make it as hard for all of their batsmen to score early runs, but particularly a key player like Virat. We have to try and create pressure that way,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 32-year-old Broad, who is returning to action after recovering from an ankle injury, felt that he is back to full fitness ahead of the gruelling five-Test rubber against No.1-ranked India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I am going in 100 percent fit and you can&#39;t say that too often. It&#39;s an exciting place to be,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>With five matches to be played in six weeks, Broad also expected the bowlers to be rotated during the series, so that the workload can be handled properly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;There have already been small conversations about you shouldn&#39;t be disheartened if you are left out for a Test match,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s not a personal attack or dropping: it&#39;s a management of your bowlers to make sure we give ourselves the best chance,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Source - Agency<\/p>\r\n",
