Broad has been better than Jimmy with the Kookaburra, it's Duke with which Jimmy is absolutely ruthless and makes life much difficult for oppositions.

Broad cuts it about a bit more and gets a bit more lift, he doesn’t need swing as much as Anderson.

Broad fined for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct
England fast bowler Stuart Broad has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the fourth Test against South Africa at the Wanderers.

Broad was found to have breached Article 2.3 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “use of an audible obscenity during an International Match.”

In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to the disciplinary record of Broad, for whom it was the second offence in a 24-month period, taking his demerit points to two.

The incident occurred on Monday, when Broad approached South Africa captain Faf du Plessis and used inappropriate language.

On-field umpires Rod Tucker and Joel Wilson, third umpire Bruce Oxenford and fourth official Allahdien Palekar levelled the charges.

Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.

*When a player reaches four or more demerit points within a 24-month period, they are converted into suspension points and a player is banned

**Two suspension points equate to a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is, whatever comes first for the player

***Demerit Points to remain on a Player or Player Support Personnel’s disciplinary record for a period of twenty-four (24) months from their imposition following which they will be expunged

England pacer Stuart Broad has announced his decision to retire from the sport at the end of the ongoing Ashes Test.

Broad called time on his 17-year career at the end of Day 3 of the final Ashes Test at The Oval.

"Tomorrow or Monday will be my last game of cricket," Broad said. "It's been a wonderful ride, a huge privilege to wear the Nottinghamshire and England badge for as much as I have.

"I've always wanted to finish at the top, and this series just feels like it's been one of the most enjoyable I've been part of."

Broad revealed he'd come to the decision on Friday evening. "I've been thinking about it for a couple of weeks...England versus Australia has always been sort of the pinnacle for me.

"I've loved the battles with Australia that have come my way personally, and the team's way. I've got a love affair with Ashes cricket, and I think I wanted my last bat and bowl to be on Ashes cricket."

Broad, who made his Test debut against Sri Lanka in 2007, will go down as one of the great pacers in the sport – he sits at fifth on the all-time list of wicket-takers, and is one of only two fast bowlers to take over 600 wickets, alongside long-time bowling partner Jimmy Anderson.

Test cricket has been a happy hunting ground for the English pacer. He is the only English player with two hat-tricks to his name in Test cricket. His finest hour in Test cricket came against his arch-rivals Australia when put himself in cricketing folklore with a stunning 8/15 at Trent Bridge in 2015.

Broad was still firing at all cylinders even at 37 years of age but decided to call time on his career while he was still at the top of his game, informing his decision to the captain last night.

World reacts to stunning Stuart Broad retirement news
"He (Ben Stokes) really understood the decision," Broad added. I wanted to make sure I was really clear in my mind that I wasn't going in for a negotiation, so I need to be clear before I mention it to anyone.

"I have played a long time, I have been bowling very well. My body feels great. I could have carried on but it felt like the right time."

England pacer Stuart Broad shocked the cricketing world after he announced his retirement from professional cricket following the conclusion of the 2023 Ashes. Broad, who finished his Test career with 604 wickets from 167 matches at an average of 27.68, opened up on his decision to retire during a recent interaction with former South Africa AB de Villiers on the latter's YouTube channel. Broad shed light on one of his "biggest fears", which played a part in his decision to call it a day.
The 37-year-old revealed he wanted to go out on a high and not when young batters consider his bowling "rubbish".

"Moving on from the game is one of the toughest decisions you could ever make. For me, I wanted to still love the game. I wanted to still know I could compete at the top level when I moved on. Ultimately, I wanted to finish at the very top. I'd almost say that one of my biggest fears was bowling against 20-year-old opening batters and them going, 'I heard he was good, but he's rubbish'. I knew I wanted to finish while I can still do it," Broad told de Villiers during the interaction.
Broad, who took 22 wickets during the recently-concluded Ashes, said that England vs Australia has "always been the pinnacle" for him.

"I never wanted that feeling of going six months too late or finishing with my last act on a cricket field being a torn hamstring and you are never seen again. That was tearing my mind a bit. As soon as I got to grips with the feeling of wanting to finish on top... England vs Australia has always been the pinnacle for me in my career," he added.

Nottinghamshire have announced that the Pavilion End at Trent Bridge will be renamed in honour of Stuart Broad.

The 37-year-old former bowler joined from Leicestershire in 2008 and played 43 times at Trent Bridge for Notts and England, taking 190 wickets.

Broad retired after the final Ashes Test at The Oval, his total of 604 wickets the sixth-highest in history.

"It's surreal to think that part of the ground where I fell in love with cricket will bear my name," Broad said.

"As someone who is Nottingham born and bred, this is an incredibly proud moment for myself and my family."

Broad produced one of the most memorable spells in Ashes history at Trent Bridge, taking 8-15 on the first morning in 2015 from what will now be known as the Stuart Broad End.

Former cricketer Stuart Broad are among the sporting figures recognised in the New Year Honours.

Broad, who retired after the Ashes in July, has been appointed a CBE.

Having announced he would retire after the fifth Ashes Test in July, Broad had a fairytale ending by scoring a six with his last ball as a batter and taking the final wicket of the match to give England victory and secure a 2-2 series draw.

He finished his career with 604 Test wickets, placing him fifth on the all-time list and behind only long-time England team-mate James Anderson among fast bowlers. He is also one of only 10 men in history to score more than 3,000 runs and take 300 wickets at Test level.
