Always moaning at his team mates and umpires, hogs referrals and starts any response to an interview question with a girly 'yeah'. Maybe he's different off the pitch but his attitude is poor to me...

Still like them compared to most football teams mind, Prior is everything a good sportsman should be IMO.
 

Totally over rated cricketer. Decent bowler, crap batter and totally shit attitude. Needs dropped to bring him down a peg or two.

Don't mind him having a go at the opposition but his own players?
 
The way he appeals without even looking back at the umpire gets on my nerves. Almost celebrating, rather than appealing, as if to say, 'I think it's out, so it's out'.
 
Would prefer to see Woakes get a run in the team. Might give him the kick up the arse he needs. As for making him T20 Captain....laughable.
 
I think it's worrying when team mates have to scratch the fielding position into the grass so they don't get shouted at.
 
On the two occasions he was moaning at fielders for being in the 'wrong position' he bowled utter f***ing gash, on the legs, short of a length pies which deserved to be smashed to the boundary. Which is before you factor in the small detail that the captain had set the field and Broad clearly hadn't seen a problem with it BEFORE the ball was bowled.

The old saying 'you don't set a field to a bad ball' springs to mind. There are Under 15 quick bowlers in the North East's Junior Leagues who have more discipline than that wanker.

Drop him, give someone else a chance and let him go back to County cricket. My pick would be Woakes.

Hes not my cup of team either. When the likes of Lillee used to berate his colleagues at least he was top drawer and set the standard - Broad is a prick.

I do think hes a decent cricketer though and would still be in my team.
 
I've said it for years on here and no ones agreed with me. He's a massively overrated cricketer who does something good every few month to regain his place in the squad for the coming months (hence his six-fer the other week).

The reason he's remained in the squad for so long without being dropped? Next time you're watching the cricket and it shows Clarke and Morris etc have a look who's constantly in their ear. His dad Chris Broad.
