5 best short ball bowlers in the world right now

4. Stuart Broad

Stuart Broad has been brilliant for England in Tests

English pacer Stuart Christopher John Broad rose through the ranks with impressive performances in County Cricket and was drafted into the national side in 2007.

Broad is very effective with the new ball with his seam bowling.

The tall bowler can trouble the batsmen by bowling nagging lengths but is more than effective with quick short balls. Broad bowls at a discomforting pace and with his high-arm action he can generate extra bounce from even docile pitches, such as in subcontinent.

This is probably one of the reasons why he is more successful than his countryman James Anderson outside England.
