Stuart Broad retires

[Boo]

I think we all thought that Anderson might retire, but not Broady. He’s irreplaceable.

 

[CW7]

Simply! Thank you Stuart

Warner says “thank fuck for that”!

 

[Hyltons finest]

Well, I’m gonna be a wreck the morra/Monday . An irreplaceable, generational talent. Thought he’d go on for another few years, but he’s going out whilst on top and fair enough. Thanks for everything Broady

 

[JackL]

Just one more trademark lbw 'appeal' would go down well with me

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

So does that not prove that its still a draw for people?

Hardly any locals attend these games when England are in town. The crowd is made up mainly of people from the UK on holiday.

A recent Windies v India test, played in front of a few dozen people at the most.

Good career, good player. Probably wants to spend more time with his lass, that blonde sort from the Saturdays, I would do the same.

You have to wonder why he’s bothered playing this while he could’ve been playing with that.
Just beautiful her and his career.

Averages and numbers aren’t everything. He has entertained for years and been consistent for a very very long time. Woakes will take his mantle for the next few years but he’s going to long term be hard to Replace on longevity alone especially with Jimmys inevitable end looming


1 last dance today please Mr Broad. 6-20 will be fine

Been chatting to my mate tonight about Broady and we were agreed we can't ever remember him being injured for any length of time. Looked after himself well.

Him and Cummins the only bowlers on either side to get through 6 tests in a row this summer

 

[mackembhoy]

Nice thread.

Think him and Jimmy will still be our top test wicket takers in 50 years

I'd be very surprised if anyone not called Ashwin or Lyon ever gets 500 test wickets again. Let alone England records.

Can't see Cummins or Rabada playing enough and they are the youngest players with more than 200 wickets.

Starc Jadeja Roach Hazlewood Moeen all too old of the other active players with more than 200 wickets.

I wonder if Anderson will do the same now.

Jimmy probably goes to TMS whereas Broad straight to Sky

Quality performer, he will be hard to replace.

Couldn’t agree more mate
Complete go to bowler to make something happen
To think he started out as a batsman through the junior ranks

 

[tomsafc10]

Probably my favourite cricketer of all time

He was great in Cool Hand Luke

 

[THELORDRODWELL]

Sick of the sight of him

 

[Aidan11]

The Sun reckons he's going to do Strictly this year.

 

[beverly macca]

He has just announced his retirement

an all time great

I said he was overrated the other day, the lad I was in conversation with went off it. Told me his stats. Very impressive.

 

[Hetty]

Very good commentating on the hundred

I do remember for some reason Bresnan taking Warner with a fast ball, across him from over the wicket, edge to third slip
