No one on here has ever denied that lad has talent. Everything said on here was summed up on commentary when he came.into the attack. He has all the attributes, he just needs to bowl fuller and look what has happened.

and England need to stop making him a scapegoat for the leader of our attack being so one dimensional, meaning Broad has to fill about four roles with the ball

What about when you said it was a good job Broad was in the team for his batting yesterday? When are we going to catch up with that? ;-)

Clueless

He was made the scapegoat because he averaged 40 odd And barely bowled a good length ball against a Sri Lankan team that barely turned up for the test series.

coming back from two major injuries/operations, a bit of rust nothing more nothing less.

All the greats of the game have the odd bad test series

Anyhows this is getting boring. Back to the action

Not true, we want him to play with the ability he undoubtedly has rather than becoming one-dimensional and predictable with short pitched shite like he was against SL. So far this morning, he has varied it a bit and looked far more dangerous. If he keeps that up, troubles the batsmen and takes wickets, no one will be calling for him to be dropped.

This this this this this.

I wouldn't mind him banging the odd one into Mukund seeing how he was getting out in the Windies. As long as he gets it in short enough, and not the half trackers he was bowling against SL.
 
Great stuff from Broad and like kumar in the first innings its proving a match for the 'underdog' bowler. Its good to see Broad doing exactly what people have been saying on here for weeks and bowl a more cosistent length
