When young S. Broad won the game for England, he was all over the place. Some called him next Flintoff, blah blah...come next ODI..he goes for 90 odd runs...and in last ODI he is the one who bowled that dreaded last over. Cricket keeps players humble... Strauss was captain last year and today he is not even in first 15. Sehwag was India's most happening player not too long ago and today he finds himself out of the team.. Bhajji who rocked Aussies not too long ago and has been kept out by Powar, You just cannot relax and take things for granted in this great game of cricket.

absolutely. it is very competitive out there..It is one of the best sports out there... It gives equal importance to each player. Unlike, Soccer and Hockey where only front guys are heros. In cricket every one can be. Sohail / V.Prasad... who would forget that... it is indeed a great leveler...

pepsi..you just don't punish the Best Indian skipper india has ever produced ( for away tests ) for winning a test series after 24 years..winning a ODIs series against SA...winning a test series against WI after 35 years... he must be persisted with....he is producing results...and thats what matters...
well i know ur a dravid fan..but lets look beyond our favouritism here pls.. but india is not winning cuz of dravid... india cud have won more if dravid wasnt a captain. latest example is yday's match... his arse was saved cuz of sachin, uthappa n gangs.. and we dint win cuz of dravid... infact shud say dravid tried hard to looose tht match.. we won ofcourse but not cuz of dravid as a captain.. pls get this clear

Stuart Broad is a promising talent. He will become a very productive cricketer for England some day - these are still early days for him. So he got beat up by a few world class batsmen; some of whom are considered as the greatest batsmen to have ever played one-day cricket - it's not the end of the world for him.

Remember Nehra's devastating spell against England in the WC'2003 and the next game he gave away 70+ runs off his 10 overs against Pakistan. This is something like that. Stuart Broad looks a pretty decent player. He certainly has kinks in his action and isn't perfect yet but with experience in international cricket he will get there. He certainly has fantastic skills with the bat though. Fast bowlers that can bat are a rarity these days. S.Broad has continued to fail against Rahul Dravid in particular. Rahul seems to score runs off Broad for fun barring the last ODI. It's not easy to bowl to the likes of Tendulkar, Rahul or even Yuvi. They have tonnes of experience in ODIs and will milk him. Still he looks a pretty good player to me.

But he is tall and very fast! Once he grows a bit stronger physically, he'll be faster. He is one to watch for in future!:regular_smile:
His batting IS indeed similar to Pathan, both left handers and upright stance. He sure seem to have a lot of pedigree. I like the look of him. Definite future prospect of England.
