Stuart Broad: An Underrated Modern Day Legend

Nasser Hussain said this about the English bowler Stuart Broad after England won the first game of the 2016 series against South Africa thanks in large part to another great performance by Stuart Broad. This seamer’s 5-14 at the Wanderers is hard to argue with because he has now taken at least five wickets in a row seven times.

Before going to t 20 world cup news, first let’s get glimpses of the amazing career of Stuart Broad. Broad is only the second English player to ever get 400 wickets in a Test match. The 36-year-old has now passed Sir Richard Hadlee and Kapil Dev to move up to eighth place on the list of all-time Test wicket-takers. Broad is the only second English person who has ever taken 400 wickets in a Test match.

 Look at some of his best bowling figures by Stuart Broad

  • 7/72 against West Indies, Lord’s 2012

The way Broad played in the first innings of the first Test match at Lord’s set the stage for England to win the next two games in the series. Broad’s quick dismissal of opener Adrian Barath helped the home team hold the visitors to 100-4, but Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Marlon Samuels’ stand of 81 was enough to shock the home team. Adrian Barath’s early dismissal by Broad helped the home team.

After he went back to attacking, Broad was able to break through the defenses right away. He first took the wicket of Samuels and then caused chaos among the lower ranks. They were bowled out for 243 runs after losing two wickets in the space of two deliveries. In the first innings, Broad took seven wickets, and in the second innings, he took four more. This helped England win by five wickets.

  • 7/44 vs New Zealand, Lord’s 2013

A year later, Broad shocked the crowd at Lord’s again with a devastating performance with the new ball that helped England beat the Black Caps by 170 runs. After scoring 26 quickly and not being out in England’s second innings, the fast bowler for Notts quickly found his rhythm with the new ball. This put the team in a strong position and helped them improve their situation.

In the third over of the innings, Broad got rid of Peter Fulton, Hamish Rutherford, and Ross Taylor all in a short amount of time. Soon after that, when there were only four people left on the New Zealand team, Broad caught Kane Williamson at cover to get the last wicket. The next person to get caught off guard by his inswinger was the dangerous Brendan McCullum. The next batters were Tim Southee and Bruce Martin. Martin was out while trying to score an eight, which made it easy for England to win by 170 runs.

  • 6/25 against India, 2014, Old Trafford

At Old Trafford, the ball was moving well, and when Broad and James Anderson worked together, they took out the top five Indian batsmen in a dramatic way. With the new ball, they each took two wickets, which put MS Dhoni’s team behind 8–4.

India’s captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, was Broad’s sixth victim. Before him, the bowler had been able to get rid of Ravi Ashwin and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Dhoni scored 71 runs, which was the most of anyone else in the inning. After three more balls, he hit Pankaj Singh in the back of the neck, which helped India lose by an innings. Broad ended the game by taking six wickets, which gave the home team a chance to win.

  • Australia, 8/15, Trent Bridge, 2015

Broad had the most numbers of wickets at Trent Bridge than anyone else in the history of Test cricket.

Without Anderson, it was up to Broad to lead England’s attack, and he did so with style, putting up the best numbers of his career thanks to a brilliant swing bowling performance. Since Anderson wasn’t there, England’s attack had to be led by Broad.

Steve Smith and Chris Rogers were both caught at first slip when he bowled the ball that got rid of them in the same over (bowled). After Shaun Marsh and Adam Voges were thrown out earlier in the innings, the important wicket of Michael Clarke made it a five-for. Australia only got 60 runs, so Nathan Lyon bowled them out by letting the ball slip through his hands. This gave England another victory by an innings. In the end, Broad got an eight.

  • 6/17 vs South Africa, Wanderers 2016

Then, article will talk about Broad’s most recent overseas catch, which is the biggest of his career, as well as what this catch means for the game and the series as a whole. When South Africa’s openers came out for their second innings, the game’s outcome was still up in the air. They were able to get through a tough five-over stretch before lunch without losing a wicket, but after lunch, Broad tore through a surprised Proteas team and completely messed up their batting order.

He bowled well in the first 10 overs of the game, going 5-14 and getting Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers, and others out. At one point in the game, he had just 31 balls and struck out 5 times in a row. The 29-year-old fielder took a short break, then came back to make a spectacular one-handed catch off of his own bowling to get the last wicket and win the game.

  • 5/23 vs South Africa (2008)

Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad are two of the best cricketers of all time, so it makes sense that they have the same best bowling figures in one-day internationals. These numbers are about international one-day bowling. In 2008 at Nottingham, in a one-day international match against South Africa, Broad was at his very best. He completely destroyed South Africa’s great batting line-up at the time, and England got South Africa out at 83 runs. This means that 4 of Broad’s 5 best bowling performances have resulted in the opponent being bowled out before the score of 100, which is crazy.
