World Twenty20 2012: title begins for real now says England captain Stuart Broad Broad's opposite number Darren Sammy echoed those sentiments, on behalf of his team, and is unperturbed that West Indies have reached this stage without a victory yet - having qualified via a rain-shortened defeat against Australia and then a no-result with Ireland, when bad weather again intervened in Colombo. England had their first glimpse of Pallekele today, and immediately felt at home in their bid to retain the ICC World Twenty20 title. Broad saw reminders everywhere, at the picturesque stadium near Kandy, of the scene of England's 2010 success in this tournament in the West Indies. There is no sea view, of course, at this inland venue. But otherwise it was not difficult, as England prepared to practise before tomorrow's first Super Eight match against West Indies, to see exactly what Broad was getting at. He was in the ranks when England won their first and still only International Cricket Council global trophy, under the captaincy of Paul Collingwood, two years ago. This time, they are at least through to the second stage and know they are only four wins away, in five remaining matches, from lifting the silverware again. "It's my first time at the ground, and it looks a fantastic ground," said Broad. It reminds me a bit of the Caribbean grounds, so it brings back good memories.
