No England player has taken more Ashes wickets than Stuart Broad. No one else has been named player of the match in three victories that have secured series wins against Australia. Fitting that he ends his Test career against Australia

I feel sadder than I would’ve expected. Apart from being a brilliant cricketer, Stuart Broad is one of the game’s great entertainers, from jazz-handed celebrappeals to bail swapping to being an elite winder upperer. Plus gives the best pressers & interviews. He’ll be missed.
