New Delhi: England speedster Stuart Broad like may other cricketers has named his best-ever cricketing XI. The right arm fast bowler has hailed South Africa’s Jacque Kallis as best all-rounder of all-time.
There were one or two eye brow raisers with Broad naming Alaistair Cook as the captain to lead his side and adding Matthew Prior in the team, neglecting cricketing greats like Kumar Sangakkara, Adam Gilchrist and Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Sachin Tendulkar is the only Indian to feature in his list. The 30-year-old has not included any Pakistani cricketer in his best-ever cricketing XI.
Broad revealed his team on Lord cricket stadium’s youtube channel.
Stuart Broad`s all-time XI: Alastair Cook (England - captain), Matthew Hayden (Australia), Ricky Ponting (Australia), Sachin Tendulkar (India), Brian Lara (West Indies), Jacques Kallis (South Africa), Matthew Prior (England - wicketkeeper), Sir Richard Hadlee (New Zealand), Shane Warne (Australia - vice-captain), Glenn McGrath (Australia), James Anderson (England).
