ASHES PODCAST | Broad announces retirement as England dominate with bat!

[@dhaanushl6465]

Stuart Broad close to 850 International Wickets, T20 World Cup Winner and 4 Time Ashes Winner. Congratulations on great Career.

[@mikefriend1514]

What a days play for England. There was rain about early this morning in west London and with everything hanging on this innings plenty of knots in the stomach. Starc served up exactly what the pundits had called for - a wide 6th stump ball - and Zak promptly thumped it away. Broad’s retirement the only downer on the day. What a series and career he has had. Btw also sad to see the end of these Ashes podcasts. Mel Jones & guests have been superb.

[@micksumo]

Stuart Broad the legend! Five for incoming!

[@arisimmonds5905]

Hope so

[@NeilLewis77]

That would be too good to be true. That's what dreams are made of. Personally I will settle for just one more inswinging thump onto a certain Mr Warner's front pad please.

1st Test - sides were even. 2nd Test - Australia were better. 3rd Test - England were better. 4th Test - England were dominant, Australia saved by rain. If England win the 5th Test they can rightly say they were the better side, by quite a distance.

Have loved watching cricket with Broad in it, it's why Aussies love the Ashes because of great players with great personalities. Wouldn't mind him finishing with a shocker though lol. Can't wait for him to be commentating in the next series!

[@simon.batten]

Mel Jones is really good at presenting. Enjoyed the genuine questions and comments

[@stephenwinter5958]

I agree. I think that Mel Jones is now one of the very best cricket broadcasters. The current Sky team is excellent throughout. As someone who grew up with John Arlott and Alan McGilvray in Ashes series I wish that I could say the same for Test Match Special which I think is now rather ordinary by comparison.

[@vorial6602]

I would have never imagined Ricky being so joyful whenever you used to watch him he was super focused aggressive passionate.afterall he is human being too

[@hardworkingtaxpayer]

Well I give it to England they played better cricket this game. Australia looked pedestrian while England zoomed past their bowlers. England deserve to win this game🎉

[@henryburton6529]

England were the better team this series. If it wasn’t for rain they would’ve won the ashes back

[@EmptyGlass99]

It really annoys me how much I used to hated a lot of Aussie players but now like and respect them. Ricky Ponting was always a class act.

[@YorkshireinManila]

Nice to hear Ricky being so respectful of Stuart Broad. Stuart Broad.... a star whos outperformed, and over produced for years and years. Broad, The True Ashes Warrior.

[@chrisgrima]

Ricky Ponting needs to be coach of Australia.

[@stevebrindle1724]

Will miss Broady calling for a review of the umpiring decision whenever the ball is passing the wickets or hitting the pads around where a fourth or fifth stump would have been! 😀

[@richardmartins1541]

I expect anderson to retire together with broad into the sunset similar to macgrath and warne after the 2007 ashes but Anderson wants to get 700 wickets first before retirement retirement probably achieve that in next year home summer series against west indies and and sri lanka

[@hamzamuhammad2478]

[@DhandleyThe]

Great player and somewhat underrated in my opinion. The only criticism was he could of been a better batsman. 169 no so he could bat. That being said Great career 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@iSnaaacky]

Will miss the energy broad brings to the game. One of the great ashes villains.

[@LeoDragon34]

Can’t believe there’ll be no more Broad. Anderson’s career almost over as well. The two best English quick bowlers in my lifetime about to leave the side. I hate to say it but the momentum ia moving back to the Aussies once those two have gone. Thanks for the memories, Stu. You’ve been phenomenal.

[@peternagy-im4be]

England have zero chance of winning in Australia.

good timing from broad, leave on the high

Teams are allowed to have a bad day... you would think that butcher nasser and Atherton... would know that more than most.... because every other test for a bad day for one of them... if I was to put money on someone retiring after this game I would of put it on Jimmy.... Stuart could still be giving batsman trouble for the next couple of years... but fair play to him and congratulations on your career and enjoy retirement... you deserve it

Gotta admit, He's been their best strike/opening bowler for a very long time. Thats a huge loss for England going forward.

[@Pwecko]

Speaking as an old fart, it feels like only a short time ago that Stuart Broad made his debut. The fact that he's now retiring after a long and illustrious career makes me feel very old. Good luck to him. 8-15. Unforgettable.

Yes great record,Well done,but has he done anything great in india? Srilanka??As a bowler/batsman you are supposed to do well across all countries to be called a genuine Great,but Still broad as bowler was very very good in English conditions

Fatigue is only for Australia, not for England? They also played 5 tests.

[@handyvickers]

Broad a 5-fer, and Jimmy a 5-fer tomorrow.... The perfect finish!

[@rod7139]

Cummins just confirms his inability as A Captain to come up with a strategy and plan to win was assisted by England’s arrogance in the first two tests who paid the price of rain washing out the third test.

[@pleasantville4529]

I agree in part. The fact that he is absolutely dog tired, could affect his decision making, but I also think he and his squad will see this as a success because they are taking the urn back down under. England have been the better side, but can't win the series.

Broad will also make sure David Warner retires after this match as he will takes his wicket in his 1st over.

[@spaceswan2605]

It wouldnt be hard to have a sixth test to settle this. There just has to be the will.

[@danieljamesmead]

It would be extremely hard. It is what it is and has always been. Just got to accept it.

[@spaceswan2605]

@@danieljamesmead It would be extremely easy. At the start of every series, a date and venue are arranged for a sixth game if needed. There actually used to be six tests anyway. There were also once timeless tests where play would go on for as many days as were needed to get a result. Usually a day or two extra, maximum. So it isn't how it's always been at all. It's shambolic that two top sides like this aren't allowed to play to a definitive result, especially when there's way too many one dayers.

[@danieljamesmead]

@@spaceswan2605 Sorting out schedules and budgeting for players, tickets, policing, stewarding, media, television etc etc etc for something that probably won't happen. They aren't going to do that. And what if that test is a draw? They're better off planning to try and finish rain-affected tests. A planned 6th day? Earlier starts/later finishes/shorter lunches on rain affected days?

[@spaceswan2605]

@@danieljamesmead The venues for every series are announced months in advance, and with the majority of series, it's knowable by the third or fourth test if a sixth would be necessary. A planned sixth day would be ideal for the mythical sixth. Look at Trent Bridge, Durham, and The Rose Bowl. No Ashes cricket there this summer. One of those grounds could have kept a week free for next week as long as there was enough prior warning. I agree rain affected tests should be finished, but there's often a county game meaning it can't be. Later finishes sounds the best idea, so there's always a solution.

[@jackpaterson4795]

Broad is the sort of player you want in your team but not to play against

[@RandalHenwood]

We get stats of no balls, dropped catches ,missed stumpings etc,what are the stats of mistakes by the umpires in this test ,the standard of umpiring in this test has been poor in my opinion.

[@bananabrooks3836]

How has this affected Mr. Anderson?

[@pleasantville4529]

I think he will break the news tomorrow or on Monday, whenever the test match ends. If he does, they both will be sadly missed, but time moves on. Just look at when Australia lost both Warne, and McGrath in such a short time.

[@richardmartins1541]

​@@pleasantville4529absolutely he should retire after this series but he wants to get to 700 wickets as he is on 690 and I see him achieving that on next year summer series at home to west indies and Sri Lanka both weak teams and then he can retire with dignity

[@pleasantville4529]

@@richardmartins1541 Mate, whenever he decides to retire, it will be a dignified exit. Unless he goes on for too long and becomes a liability.
