The English stalwart Stuart Broad is regarded as one of the lethal pacers in the history of cricket. He recently called time on his international career after a brilliant Ashes series at home. Broad led England in the final session of the fifth and final Test at The Oval in London, helping the English side seal the game and draw the five-game series 2-2.
The 37-year-old legend is just the second player from England and fifth overall to take over 600 Test match wickets. He played 167 matches in Test cricket and has taken 604 scalps at an average of 27.68.
After ending his 17-year-long cricket career, Broad wrote a book about himself. He disclosed about his terrific journey, and the obstacles he faced in his autobiography. He also talked about sacrifices, and unwavering drive that have motivated him to become one of the best bowlers of all time.
"It’s been one of the most fun & entertaining summers of my career. Despite finishing on a glorious high at The Oval in the Ashes it’s been 17 years of peaks & troughs, I’ve loved it. In the comments I’ll put the link for pre order!" Broad wrote on Twitter.
Hodder & Stoughton which is a British publishing company has won an 11-publisher auction for launching the autobiography of England stalwart Stuart Broad. Earlier in a conversation with Sky Sports, Broad was asked about who is quicker between him and James Anderson.
"Jimmy is four years older than me so I still feel I have got a little bit of pace. But I think you (Anderson) were slightly quicker than me when you had your red hair, did that give you a bit more pace?"
In reply to that, Anderson said, "When I was younger I was quicker. But I think you have been consistently quicker. Consistently 82 miles an hour. I started at 90 and have just fallen away."
