One of the greatest spells of bowling

Can easily see broad opening the bowling in the ashes, not sure about jimmy
Exceptional cricketer. His batting has gone backwards since he was hit, but still has nearly as many test runs as Flintoff.

He's brilliant.
Nobody mentioned his 6-50 in the ashes at Chester-le-street yet?
Without a ticket for the last day I was pissed and convinced the match was slipping away from us at tea. Then his spell after tea turned my drunk depression turned into absolute ecstasy watching him win the Ashes for us with a spell of 6-20 in 9 overs.

Brilliant achievement! I hope he is up for a trip down under its only just over a year away.

This. Apparently he gave the match ball to Woakes after the game for his 5fer rather than his 500. Fair play. Not sure why he has had the stick he’s sometimes had from England fans.
Taking his wickets at 16 this year. Next

He still looks a threat when he does bowl, but he seems to be bowling shorter spells and injuries are becoming more significant. Do agree that he’s coming to the end rather abruptly, which is sad to see. Think Broad will end up ahead of Jimmy by the end of it, as he looks fitter and sharper. As consistent and brilliant as Jimmy has been for us, when Broad is on the money he’s the best bowler we’ve ever had - some of his spells are absolutely unbelievable and he is such a streaky player, so great to watch when he’s on it. And given our strength in depth at present and Stokes, we can afford to “carry” a bowler when he isn’t on it (sounds bad as he certainly doesn’t need carrying, but you know what I mean)

Both top class performers especially in English conditions and two of England's greatest. But I can't see us winning back the Ashes if we ruck up at the Gabba with them as the opening bowlers. Personally would rather go with Broad than Anderson.
He bowled more overs than anyone in the Southampton test, and more overs than anyone else in the 1st innings here
He’s gonna get injuries as he gets older. Absolutely. But to say he is coming to end abruptly isnt true. Broad maybe looks sharper because he is 3 years younger, but Anderson has been exceptional in recent years
