Would Stuart Broad make India's strongest test XI?

Yeah, as if pace is the only thing you can lose coming back from an injury. And as if Bun doesn't know that. Salizar Slytherin would be proud of such trickery.

good fast bowlers need just a few overs to get into rythm... not half of the summer...

broad has played some county matches, two test matches and four one dayers, and if still he cant find eythm, he's ****. end of.
Like when Sharma couldn't find rhythm for about a year?

Hey Bun, remember 04-06 when Tendulkar scored **** all? Did that mean he was ****? No it didn't. You're talking ****.

You've never played a sport have you? Coming back from injury can mean all kinds of things, especially when your comeback doesn't go so well.

Spoken like a guy who hasn't bowled a ball in his life.

please tell me where he said he was out of rythm due to injury... on the contrary he admits he tried different stuff that wasn't his forte, tried copying zak, might sound stupid, but he's just 22!

he is improving, and is one heck of a talent at his age. and best thing he's realised what his strength is and working to amplify those.

Find it ironic that you read that article and yet fail to grasp that there are so many factors involved in the 'rythm' that you so nonchalently dismissed prior to this. Broad could just as easily gain his confidence or whatever thats keeping him down and return to the world class form he's shown he's capable of.

I didn't say due to injury, did I? Neither did you, you said -

Can't find rhythm in some domestic games, two Tests and four one dayers and you're ****, apparently. Like Sharma.

are you trying to bait me into getting aggravated by bringing in totally unrelated stuff into this thread?

fail.
It's a fair enough comparison. Tendulkar wasn't exactly all guns blazing with the bat at that point of his career due ot injury. The same has happened to Broad just now.

It's rare that you'll find someone consistently at the top of their game. Even Sir Alex had a couple of lean years at Manchester United. But you don't need me to tell you about Sir Alex do you?

this is really tiring....

ishant was ****, no denying that... esp till the ipl...

from there he has changed quite dramatically....

broad has been **** for almost his entire career save a brief period... and promptly has relapsed to being ****...

So your opinion is always just based on the last 25 seconds? Awesome.

ouch the entire fangirl contingent is out defending their prized once in a generation bowler who averages 37 in test cricket after 5 years and 35 tests.

bun's escaping this madness.
