Former England fast bowler Stuart Broad has expressed concerns about Gus Atkinson's on-field demeanor, stating his body language does not yet reflect that of a Test-match bowler. Broad noted that while Atkinson possesses strong attributes like a low average and seam-wobbling ability, his projection of confidence needs improvement, especially in high-pressure series like the Ashes. This psychological aspect, according to Broad, becomes more apparent against elite opposition.
