Is Stuart Broad that good?

[Coronis]

Broad would make India's ATG test team no problems.

Not really a big achievement for a pace bowler is it?

 

[Cruxdude]

I am still traumatized by what he did to India in that tour of 2011. Especially that test match where India had a lead and Yuvraj and Dravid were batting and then Broad happened.

I agree with the OP. Broad is someone who will excel when he gets everything go right for him but as soon as there is a bit of hard work required he will go MIA. He does strike me as a bit of a pretty boy and a general poonce though so to be honest I'm not that surprised that he rarely features when the going gets tough. He's the kind of guy who you look at and say why on earth are you out there? He gives the impression that he would be much better suited with a powdered nose serving semi-edible bacon and eggs on a BA 777 with the rest of the girls.

like in the 5-0 flogging england copped in australia when he took 18 wickets and was the only consistent threat for england with the ball?

Fantastic post to get banned with lol

 

[mr_mister]

is that really ban-worthy? He made a few dumb jokes but nothing too offensive. Mods on this forum are a little strict I think

Trolling is bannable. Plus he might have been a multi/troll from Cricsim whom the mods are familiar with.

 

[Dan]

That wasn't why he was banned.

 

[cnerd123]

Why dont we have a ban announcements thread anymore?

 

[Furball]

We do, they're just too lazy to update it.

 

[Cabinet96]

Does Stuart Broad really = Glenn McGrath?

I assume you're referring to G McG...

Don't be a straw man.

Title isn't great but it does bring up an interesting topic. Wonder if Broad will become quite liked in Australia towards the end of his career, kind of like Ponting here.

 

[Adders]

Not while he's taking 8/15 against them they wont!!

We only started liking Ponting when he turned to ****.

 

[Daemon]

Yes he is

 

[OverratedSanity]

Shame the "He wouldn't make the Indian XI" joke has already been made.

 

[Daemon]

Hmm you weren't even around in 2011 #OSisprecam
