Former England cricketer Stuart Broad commented on pace bowler Gus Atkinson's performance in the Ashes series, stating Atkinson needs to improve his body language to be a Test-match bowler. Broad noted Atkinson's impressive attributes but highlighted his flat show and average of 47 with six wickets. Atkinson recently became the third England pace bowler ruled out of the Ashes due to a hamstring injury, joining Mark Wood and Jofra Archer.
