Profile
When blond, lanky Stuart Broad dismantled a rock solid Australian top order in 2009 to help England regain the Ashes, everyone knew a talented rookie was coming of 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. Occasional opening for county Leicestershire also moulded Broad into a reliable left-handed tail-ender.
After his first rub of the green in 2007 at Sri Lanka, Broad's 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.
“Broady” continued to be England’s first change-of option in travels to South Africa and Bangladesh. Being one of the more experience T20 players with a debut in 2006, he was an integral part of England’s World T20 success in West Indies in 2010. Later, in mid-2011, Broad was named captain of the T20 side.
