Had to watch this again after Stuart Broads final test match. 300 wickets to a total of 604 at test match career end. Plus getting a 6 off his final ball, and finishing his final Ashes match with the last 2 wickets to win the match. We salute you, Stuart Broad.
I remember watching this live on TV here in Australia not believing what I was seeing. 7 years later I can bring myself to watch this and enjoy how well England bowled. I will say I'd rather watch the ball hoop on a green top than turn sideways on a dust bowl.
I was at the match- what a morning session it was. In the interests of fair play and good sporting behavior, we English spectators gave the Australian team a GOOD round of applause when they reached 61 in their second innings...
Lol England tampered the ball during the 2005 ashes series to get prodigious and early reverse swing. But when the opposition had an attack comprising the likes of McGrath, Lee, Gillespie and Warne and they had Flintoff, Hoggard and Simon Jones; we really can't blame England now, can we 🤣🤣?

One of the great moments for England fans. Rarely has a Test Match been effectively won in the very first session of the first day, but this one was by a virtuoso performance from Stuart Broad.
Pretty much all teams are like that now in tests. Invincible at home and when they go abroad against a decent test team they get rinsed. Over the last 10-15 years, the best test team imo were SA. they didn't lose a series away for 8 years. Now they're not doing so well either.
It almost disguises how bad we have been this current series, no bowling attack and no steel in our batting! Can't wait till we play teams in our own country again!!
ashish karan and when you do play overseas its bangladesh and pakistan yeah? Kohli looks great against them. Would love to see his amazing average against the top ranked sides in the world.

Great to see this again. I remember listening to it on TMS and barely believing what I was hearing. I'm not sure that Broad could take 8 wickets now, at nearly 35 he is getting to the end of his career.
Prafful Sahu ind vs pak only indian and pakistani watch that match.. But ashes, all cricket playing nation watch it...no doubt ind vs pak match is epic but ashes is on another level.. If you search best cricket rival series you will find ashes...
If you look up the most test wickets before lunch on the first day of a test match it's only 5 before Stuart Broad raised the bar to 8 wickets, what a fantastic achievement.
this reminds me of a school cricket moment when we were all out for like 60 in about 12 overs, first 2 people were out for ducks on a hat trick ball, then I came in, surviving a few overs and keeping the flow going, one person scored 15, I scored 8 and the other opener was 30 ish
