England v India: Specsavers 5th Test - Day Four

One of the most underrated cricketer in my opinion, with 433 test wickets Stuart Broad is a great of our game but I don't think many people realize this. Anyway, that is a debate for some other day. Stuart Broad is England's Rohit Sharma, though a more consistent one, on some days you are in awe of the man, the days when he looks head and shoulders above others but not so on other days.

Stuart Broad's fiery spell at Lord's in India's 2nd innings was one of the top moments of the series. Every time Joe Root looks for some sort of inspirational breakthrough, his eyes end up on Broad more often than not.

With 16 wickets at an average of 29.68, you would think he had a decent series but in our game statistics never tell you the complete story. He was always at the batsman from another end even if he wasn't taking wickets.

Rating - 8.5/10
