NEW DELHI: Former England cricketer Stuart Broad believes England's chances in the Brisbane Test will be based on the fact how well they utilise the "lottery" with the pink ball.
The second Test of the five-match Ashes series will begin on December 4 and will be a day-night match at the Gabba following an eight-wicket win for Australia in the first game.
"We know the pink-ball Test, having played a few ourselves, is a bit of a lottery, " said Broad on the For The Love of Cricket podcast. "Ultimately, the best team generally wins Test matches but this one, it's on a bit more of a knife edge of conditions."
England have lost all three of their pink ball Test, first by 120 runs in Adelaide in 2017, before 275-run and 146-run defeats in Adelaide and Hobart on their last tour in 2021.
"If you can get a brand new ball under the floodlights at the Gabba, you should be taking wickets and you can break the game open, " said Broad.
