Should broad

Do you think Stuart broad has
done enough to get a place in the test squad for england?
i admit he is pretty uneconomical
but to be honest you need
to take wickets
and he is often getting at least 2 wickets per a game for england :)

They have been grooming him, he came out for the Ashes last year, and looks a fine prospect, hope he has his dad's passion:)

He's not looked all that impressive so far in his career - but he has been thrust into the international stage at a young age. He had obviously got talent, though.

Mind you - how sad for Broady that he got his first England cap before he got his first pube. :dry: The poor guy looks like he's ten years old.

be serious who is he going to replace
hoggard anderson sidebottom ....no and with the probability that two spinners will be used there is posibly 1 more pace man spot and thats between harmison and broad and broad isnt better than harmison.

also even broads dad said he wasnt ready for test tour yet

At first glance I thought this was a poem. :)

Can't hurt to have him in the squad, but hard to see him getting preferred to Hoggard, Sidebottom and Anderson. He's a way down the pecking order still.

Well personalitly i dont even think harmison should even play
he is getting old now and you never know if he is going to do well
or not
he would be too risky to be put in the side

Harmison should not be in the team, but he probably will be. Even ignoring him though, you'd have to say that Hoggard, Sidebottom, Anderson and Tremlett would be in front of Broad. They've done nothing to deserve the axe.

Yeah you are probably right there i guess
i think it will be annoying if harmison does play though
waste of time if he doesnt do well

Tremlett's bowled poorly in the ODIs.

Oh wait...

Broad needs to look long term rather than the present.

A winter off doing strength work would really help him.

He needs to add 5 kgs and a yard of pace before being considered for Tests

It gets a bit tiresome when you're my age (and I tend to think I look pretty young for my age too) to have that said over and over TBH.

Broad should be in the test team. I reckon he's gun.

Plus he has dreamy baby blues and blonde locks... :wub:

Would have Broad in the Test team ahead of Anderson and Sidebottom. But I hope from a Sri Lankan POV he's not in the side.
