Stuart Broad Biography
When blond, lanky Stuart “Westlife” Broad dismantled a rock solid Australian top order in 2009 to help England retain the Ashes, everyone knew a talented rookie a coming off age. A lethal in-swinger that unsettles the very best, Broad’s wicket-to-wicket dictation made him one of England’s leading strike bowlers since his debut in 2007. An occasional opener for county Leicestershire also moulded Broad into a reliable left-handed tailender.
After his first rub of the green in 2007 at Sri Lanka, his inability to contain often saw him go for runs, in return for an odd wicket or two. His first fiver came against the Windies at Kingston in 2009, the year that saw him rise to prominence. Later that year, Broad’s two five-wicket hauls against Australia saw him on the brink of permanency in the England’s attack.
He continued to be England’s first change-of option in travels to South Africa and Bangladesh. Being one of the more experience T20 players (debut in 2006), he was an integral part of England’s World T20 success in West Indies. A handy batsman to boot, by 2009, he already scored as many as 5 test fifties and is often involved in various formidable, tailend partnerships.
Fast Facts
In 2007, Broad’s 99-run partnership with Ravi Bopara in the 4th Natwest ODI is England’s best for the 8th wicket.
His 61-run stance for the final wicket in tandem with Darren Pattinson against South Africa is the 3rd highest against the Proteas.
With 18 scalps, he was England’s leading wicket-taker in the 2009
Broad was voted England’s MVP by the Professional Cricketers' Association for the 2008-09 season.
Broad was the second-highest wicket taker in ODIs during their Lankan tour (Ryan Sidebottom being first), a series which England won 3-2 to record their maiden ODI series win in Sri Lanka
