Stuart Broad is expecting an exciting start to the County Championship season with plenty of England players available to their teams. Broad, who was not involved in Englands World Twenty20 squad, is expected to feature for Nottinghamshire when they open their Division One campaign at home to Surrey on Sunday.And he could be joined in the early fixtures by a number of his Test colleagues, including seamer James Anderson and captain Alastair Cook, with England not playing their first Test of the summer until May 19 against Sri Lanka. Its exciting, Broad told Sky Sports News HQ. Weve got a really big summer ahead as an England side. Weve got seven out of the nine Test trophies available to us, and the two we dont have are Sri Lanka and Pakistan, who we play this year.I think every player will want to hit the ground running. Weve got Yorkshire coming here to Trent Bridge [starting on May 1] which will be a fantastic game, full of international players. Im not sure bowling to Joe Root will be much fun but well see how we go.The start of the year is so important to counties to get up the table, try and win your first three or four games and make a really good start to your season. Australia bowler Jackson Bird will be Nottinghamshires overseas player in the early months of 2016 season Weve just had [Australia bowler] Jackson Bird arrive today. Dont know if he is playing this week against Cambridge MCCU, but hell be ready to go for Sunday.We look like we should have a strong side and its our aim to hit the ground running, starting with Surrey.County cricket will see changes this season, doing away with mandatory coin tosses, with visiting sides getting the choice whether to bat first. Only if the visiting captain declines to bat will a toss take place.Its an interesting one, Broad added. A lot of the wickets I have played on in Division One have been really good. I think its maybe aimed a little more at Division Two where teams are trying to get out of the division, creating wickets that do a bit. Broad was one of Englands stars in the Test series win over South Africa A lot of the seamers who got wickets in Division Two last season were under 80mph which proves the wickets were doing too much.But I know from playing in the Ashes, winning the toss and bowling at Trent Bridge can be a good thing. It will be interesting to see what kind of wickets are prepared. Also See: County build-up LIVE!

After not scoring 40 points in the opening quarter in the last five seasons, the Rockets have done it five times this season and twice in the last three games. WASHINGTON -- Alex Ovechkin was a bit off -- and still on target. The Russian star scored with 48 seconds left and goalie Phillip Grubauer off for an extra attacker to cap a late three-goal rally and the Washington Capitals went on to beat Philadelphia 5-4 in a shootout Sunday. "Ill be honest with you, I missed my shot," Ovechkin said. "It was kind of funny. I didnt get all of it." It was the second time in six days that Ovechkin scored the tying goal with less than a minute left to cap a rally from three goals down. On Tuesday night in a 6-5 shootout victory over Tampa Bay, Ovechkin powered the comeback with four goals. Mike Green cut Washingtons deficit to 4-2 with 8:40 remaining, and Dmitry Orlov pulled the Capitals within one with 3:31 to go. The two defencemen scored on long slap shots. "I think we had too much perimeter stuff, and once we just started peppering him with shots, one was bound to go in," Green said. "You look at the goals that went in, he either didnt see it, and it was just a floater, which could have been an easy save from that far out." Ovechkin then tied it with his NHL-leading 27th goal. "I think we had luck on our side today, especially at the end of the game," Ovechkin said. "Ill take it and the team will take it." In the shootout, Eric Fehr and Nicklas Backstrom for Washington and Grubauer made two saves on three shots to give Washington an improbable victory in the first meeting of the teams since they brawled at the end of the Capitals 7-0 victory in Philadelphia on Nov. 1. Marcus Johansson had a first-period power play goal for Washington, scoring on a pass from Ovechkin that went through the legs of a Philadelphia defender. Claude Giroux, Mark Streit, Sean Couturier and Jacob Voracek scored for Philadelphia, and Michael Raffl had three assists. "It doesnt matter how many goals you score and how many pointts you have in this league," Streit said.dddddddddddd "Its a very bad loss." Streit scored the go-ahead goal early in the second period when he picked off a pass by Washington defender Karl Alzner and received a give-and-go feed from Raffl to make it 2-1. When Couturier and Voracek scored 1:14 apart early in the third period, the Flyers appeared on their way. "Nothing changed," Washington coach Adam Oates said. "A little bit of luck on the first goal. We got some life. The emotion of the game, I guess would be the one thing. Obviously the crowd gets into it and you feel a little bit better and make a push. Win a draw and before you know it, its a game." Washingtons Michael Latta and Philadelphias Zac Rinaldo traded punches and were sent off in the second period. Early in the third, the Capitals Steve Oleksy and the Flyers Wayne Simmonds received majors for fighting. The teams will meet again Tuesday night in Philadelphia. The primary combatants from Nov. 1 in a rare fight between goalies -- the Capitals Braden Holtby and the Flyers Ray Emery -- were on the bench. Steve Mason had 29 saves for Philadelphia, and Grubauer stopped 24 shots for Washington. NOTES: The Capitals have moved Brooks Laich to the long-term injured reserve list retroactive to Nov. 27 because of a strained groin. Sunday was the eighth straight game Laich has missed. He would be eligible to return Dec. 22. The 30-year-old centre played only nine games last season as he battled a similar injury, leading to sports hernia surgery in April. Laichs problems continued in September when he left the ice with a strained hip flexor in the first 10 minutes of the Capitals opening preseason practice. ... The Capitals recalled centre Michael Latta from Hershey and activated defenceman John Erskine, who had missed 21 games with a knee injury. Defenceman Nate Schmidt was sent back to Hershey. ' ' '
