Stuart Broad

[halba]

What a cricketer he is. Age 36. Great swing bowler . If eng win, his Marnus- Smith wicket combination will prove the difference especially as Anderson is starting to look his age.

 

[Burgey]

He's been awesome.

If you rank the best bowlers of all time Broad is top 5

Anderson, Ambrose, Akram, Walsh, Broad

He's up there now as so many wickets plus longevity.

Did you deliberately leave out McGrath?

It seems likely that Broad will get his 600th wicket at some point in this series.

McGrath was lucky to have Warne in the team. He's not a patch on WI bowlers or Broad and Anderson

 

[Burgey]

Broad is better than Anderson. And by no small margin.

But Anderson and Broad, who you put in the top 5 all time, aren't lucky to have each other in the same side?

Joking aside

With Stuart Broad he has been superb but I preferred Gough, Caddick, Flintoff, Simon Jones to him

Ambrose is the greatest fast bowler of all time IMO

This won't work. His head was built with paradox-absorbing crumple zones.

come on bro McGrath way better than both of them and he didn’t have much swing and the English conditions to use every year.

Broad better than Anderson though in my opinion. I think Broads a lot better when the conditions and game is against him

Only joking mate. McGrath was a great bowler. Shame he didn't play to his 40s

This is slightly too rancid to get serious bites imo, but it's getting there.

 

[Molehill]

Broad maybe better than Anderson now (or maybe just this Test), but his overall stats don't really match up. Anderson's average less than Broad's despite getting slapped about for his first 5 years in Test Cricket.

I just wish I had made it tbh, which probably tells you all you need to know about it.

I think Jimmy is a good bowler who becomes absolutely lethal when the conditions favour him, whereas Broad is just very good full stop.

Broad’s always a threat.

It would have been a great sledger post. Like absolutely perfect.

Yeah this is pretty much why I rate Broad higher tbh.
