Stuart Board shocking retirement

Regarding his retirement Broad said on Sky Sports Cricket after the conclusion of third day’s play at the Oval on Saturday. “Tomorrow or Monday will be my last game of cricket.”

“It has been a wonderful ride. A huge privilege to wear the Nottinghamshire and the England batch as much as I have. I am loving cricket as much as I ever had, it has been such a wonderful series to be a part of and I have always wanted to finish on the top. This series feels like one of the most enjoyable entertainment I’ve been a part of,” he further added.

Broad’s cricket career

Broad played 56 T20Is between 2006 and 2014, taking 65 wickets and 121 ODIs between 2006 and 2016. This equates to 178 scalps in this format. He was part of the England squad that won the T20 World Cup in 2010.

But Broad’s most prominent numbers come from Test cricket. He has 602 wickets to date and could add to that record at the oval as they try to stop England from winning at home to Australia for the first time since 2001. During his international career he scored a total of 845 wickets.

Along with Anderson, Broad is one of only two fast bowlers to top 600 Test wickets in his home country, taking his 150th Ashe wicket in his final game at The Oval this week.
