'''Stuart Christopher John Broad''' {{postnominals|country=GBR|size=100%|CBE}} (born 24 June 1986) is an English former cricketer who played [[Test cricket]] for the [[England cricket team]] and was [[One Day International|One Day]] and [[Twenty20 International]] captain. Broad was a member of the England team that won the [[2010 ICC World Twenty20]]. His longevity, and highly successful partnership with fellow fast bowler [[James Anderson (cricketer)|James Anderson]] cemented him as one of England's greatest ever Test bowlers.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Broad |first=Stuart |title=Stuart Broad Greatest |url=https://www.trentbridge.co.uk/trentbridge/history/articles/stuart-broad-one-of-the-greats.html}}</ref>

A right-arm [[seam bowling|seam bowler]] and left-handed batsman, Broad began his professional career at [[Leicestershire County Cricket Club|Leicestershire]]; in 2008 he transferred to [[Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club|Nottinghamshire]], the county of his birth and the team for which his father played.

At the start of the summer in 2012 Broad, returning from injury, produced figures of 7/72 in a match haul of 11 wickets against the West Indies. He is England's second-highest wicket taker in [[Test cricket]].

At the age of 16, he considered himself better at playing hockey and played as a goalkeeper, for Leicestershire and the Midlands, and had a trial with an [[England men's national field hockey team|England]] underage team.{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}

===Education===
Broad was educated at Brooke Priory School and [[Oakham School]], a co-educational [[independent school]] in the [[market town]] of [[Oakham]] in Rutland, where he was in the same year as England Rugby back-row [[Tom Croft]].<ref name="telegraph">{{Cite news |url= https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/international/theashes/6086500/Stuart-Broad-from-school-all-rounder-to-Englands-world-class-Ashes-winner.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/international/theashes/6086500/Stuart-Broad-from-school-all-rounder-to-Englands-world-class-Ashes-winner.html |archive-date=12 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title=Stuart Broad: from school all-rounder to England's world-class Ashes winner |work=The Telegraph |date=25 August 2009 |location=London |first=Gareth A. |last=Davies |access-date=24 May 2010}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Broad finished his school career with three B grades at [[A-level]], and was given the choice of a place at [[Durham University]] or a contract with [[Leicestershire County Cricket Club]].<ref name="telegraph"/>

==Domestic career==
Broad originally started his cricketing career as an opening batsman, following in the footsteps of his father, the former England [[Batting order (cricket)#Opening batsmen|opener]] and current ICC match referee [[Chris Broad (cricketer)|Chris Broad]]. It was not until he was 17 and had a growth spurt that he started to consider being a fast bowler.<ref name="telegraph"/> Broad had been associated with Leicestershire since he was 8 years old, having represented them at Under-9 level, and played for Melton Mowbray club Egerton Park, which also produced England seamer [[Tim Munton]]. Broad played for Egerton Park from the ages of 9 to 19; in his final two seasons he opened the batting with fellow Leicestershire player [[Matthew Boyce]] and spearheaded the attack. He was awarded the Leicestershire Young Cricketers Batsman Award in 1996.<ref name="telegraph"/>

Broad played his first game for Leicestershire 2nd XI in 2004 just before his 18th birthday and impressed enough to be given a full contract for the following season. Broad continued to impress Director of Cricket [[James Whitaker (cricketer)|James Whitaker]] and made his first-class debut early in the 2005 season against [[Durham University Centre of Cricketing Excellence]]. He returned creditable figures of 1/40 from 15 overs. His maiden first-class wicket was that of [[Nick Lamb (cricketer)|Nick Lamb]]. Broad followed this appearance with his first County Championship appearance against [[Somerset County Cricket Club|Somerset]] at the familiar location of Oakham.

In the 2006 season Broad took his first 5 wicket haul against championship favourites Surrey and scored his first championship 50 against Derbyshire. His most eye-catching performances were in the [[Twenty20 Cup]], where his economy of 4.50 was the second-best of the season of bowlers with more than 15 overs bowled.<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/ENG/Twenty20_Cup_2006/Bowling_by_Average.html Bowling in Twenty20 Cup 2006 (Ordered by Average)], from CricketArchive.

He bowled ten overs and ended with figures of three for 57 with one maiden.

Broad was left out of the squad for the [[2006 ICC Champions Trophy]] and the [[2006-07 Commonwealth Bank Series]].

Broad also featured in the ODI squad at the end of the West Indies tour of England in summer 2007, taking three for twenty in the first match to take England to a 1–0 lead in the ODI series.<ref>[[BBC News]] [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/6256876.stm ''England v West Indies 1st ODI''] retrieved 1 July 2007</ref> In the second ODI he took 2–49 but England lost the match by 61 runs. Broad was expensive in the final match of the series, conceding 71 runs for no wickets.

He took his first wicket against India in the ODI against them in the second match at Bristol. On 30 August, he took career-best bowling figures of four for 51 as England bowled out India for 212 in the fourth match of the summer's ODI series. Broad also hit an unbeaten 45 to take his first ODI Man of the Match award. The definitive unbeaten partnership of 99 runs he shared with [[Ravi Bopara]] is a record eighth-wicket stand for England in ODIs.<ref>[http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/fow/highest_partnerships_by_wicket.html?class=2;id=1;type=team Record 8th wicket partnership] from ESPNcricinfo.

He took 3–37 against South Africa but England suffered another defeat, this time by 19 runs. He took 1–35 against New Zealand but could not prevent another defeat for England.

He took figures of 2–54 in the first match and followed this up with 2–42 in the second match. In the third match of the series Broad made an unbeaten 20 with the bat and took another two wickets.

In the first Test against New Zealand on home soil, Broad took three wickets in the match. England won the second match by six wickets, although Broad picked up no wickets in the match. On 6 June 2008, Broad scored his maiden Test fifty, against New Zealand at Trent Bridge, making 64 before being bowled by [[Chris Martin (cricketer)|Chris Martin]].

He made his second Test fifty in July 2008, in the Test series against [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]], scoring a new best of 76. In the Second Test at [[Headingley Cricket Ground|Headingley]], Broad contributed seventeen runs in the first innings, as England was bowled out on the first day for 203. In the second innings, with the match already lost, Broad top-scored with 67 in an innings that included some impressive drives through midwicket and cover, giving further evidence of his batsmanship.{{according to whom|reason=WP:OR|date=November 2016}} After this, his Test batting average briefly rose above 40.

On 26 August 2008, he recorded the first five-wicket haul in his international career with best figures of five for 23 against South Africa at his home ground in the second ODI of the series, with England winning the series 4–0 with Broad taking 8 wickets within the series at an average of 18.4 and shooting up to 4th in the ICC ODI world rankings, the highest in his career and the best by any English bowler since [[Andrew Flintoff]] in 2003.

In the second ODI against India Broad performed well, taking figures of 4–55. He took 1–36 in the next match as England lost by 18 runs. In the final match of the series he took 1–54, but England lost again, this time by six wickets. In the second Test against India, Broad was ineffectual with the ball.

England also beat India by 3 runs. Although Broad failed to take a wicket, he bowled his four overs for just 21 runs to help England secure a narrow victory. England lost their final game of the tournament against the West Indies, with Broad taking 1–20.

In July 2009, Broad was named in [[The Ashes]] squad to face Australia for the first Test at the [[SWALEC Stadium]], Cardiff – his maiden Ashes Test. He scored a 22-ball 19 in England's first-innings total of 435, but in 32 overs he took just one wicket (that of [[Michael Clarke (cricketer)|Michael Clarke]], caught behind for 83) as Australia amassed 674 for 6 declared, with four centurions. Nonetheless, his final-day 14 proved crucial, keeping the Australians at bay alongside [[Paul Collingwood]] for a minute over an hour before [[James Anderson (cricketer)|James Anderson]] and [[Monty Panesar]] blocked out the final 11{{frac|1|2}} overs to salvage an unlikely draw.<ref>[http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/345970.html England v Australia at Cardiff, 2009].

The second Test at [[Lord's]] saw Broad take three wickets, including the important wicket of Australian skipper [[Ricky Ponting]], bowled off an inside-edged cut for 38 as England pursued victory, and took a diving outfield catch to remove the opener [[Simon Katich]] in the first innings, as England took a 1–0 lead in the series.<ref>[http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/345971.html England v Australia at Lord's, 2009].

Though he took no wickets in the first innings of the third Test at [[Edgbaston Cricket Ground|Edgbaston]], Broad hit a 64-ball 55 to extend England's first-innings lead to 114. On the final day, Broad took two of the three wickets to fall: [[Mike Hussey]] for 64 and, late in the day, [[Marcus North]] for 96.

In the fourth Test at [[Headingley Cricket Ground|Headingley]], Broad took his place in an England first-innings collapse, clipping [[Stuart Clark]] to square leg for 3 as Australia's seam attack bowled England out for 102. As Australia scored 445, Broad took six wickets for 91 in Australia's only innings, at that time his best first-class innings return, and in the second innings contributed a rapid 61 from 48 balls, though he could not avert an innings defeat.<ref>[http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/345973.html England v Australia at Leeds, 2009].

England therefore started the fifth Test at [[the Oval]] with the series level at 1–1, with a victory required to secure the Ashes. He took 5 for 37 in the afternoon session of the second day, taking five of the first seven wickets to fall to take the Australian innings from 73/0 to 111/7 and eventually 160 all out. He also contributed 37 and 29 with the bat, and on the final day took the wicket of [[Shane Watson]] lbw for 40, the second wicket to fall in consecutive overs to start Australia's collapse, winning the Man of the Match award as England won by 197 runs to regain the Ashes 2–1.<ref>[http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/345974.html England v Australia at the Oval, 2009].

He finished the tour with an aggregate of 234 runs and 18 wickets, leading England's bowling figures both in wickets taken and in bowling average (30.22). Though three Australian bowlers took more wickets, Broad was the only bowler from either side to claim two five-wicket innings hauls during the series.<ref>[http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/bowling/most_wickets_career.html?id=4249;type=series The Ashes, 2009: Most Wickets].

This was a good tournament for Broad. He was the second highest wicket taker overall throughout the tournament with 10 wickets in 3 matches, only behind [[Wayne Parnell]] who took 11 in the same number of matches. In the first match of the tournament against Sri Lanka he took 3–49 in a winning effort. He followed it up with a 3–67 vs South Africa, putting England through to the semi-finals. He then took 4–39 vs New Zealand in a losing effort after England had already been bowled out for 146, with New Zealand making the runs in just 27.1 overs. This was his last game in the tournament with Broad picking up an injury that kept him out of the semi-finals, which England lost to Australia.

=== 2009–10: South Africa, Bangladesh, T20 World Cup, Australia and Pakistan ===
Broad's injuries continued through to the tour of South Africa, keeping him out of the two [[twenty20]] matches, which both ended up being abandoned. The weather affected the 1st One Day International which was probably an advantage for Broad and the England team with Broad being fit for the 3rd ODI, with England winning the second ODI by 7 wickets after Paul Collingwood and [[Jonathan Trott]] had a partnership of 162 with Collingwood getting 105.

When Broad returned he instantly made an impact with numerous wickets but turned out to be very expensive. With his first game getting figures of 4–71, England suffered defeat by 112 runs. Broad improved on his economy rate in the 4th ODI with figures of 2–30 from 9.5 overs. This backed up James Anderson who took 5–23. The final game was rained off before a ball was bowled to leave England with a 2–1 victory and only the second team to win a one-day series vs South Africa in South Africa.

Broad struggled in the First test in [[Centurion, Gauteng|Centurion]] with only taking 1–74 in the first innings and 2–54 in the second. His batting was unsuccessful, getting only 17 and a duck. The duck was during a dramatic collapse where England went from 205–4 to 218–9 with [[Graham Onions]] batting out the final over to save the test.

In the second test Broad showed good form with the ball with 2–44 in the first innings but then taking 4–43 in the second dismissing [[Jacques Kallis]], [[AB de Villiers]] and [[JP Duminy]] all within 3 overs. He took the wicket of [[Mark Boucher]] the next day to leave [[Graeme Swann]] to dismiss the rest of the South African line up. This gave England an innings and 98 run victory. After this test Broad went up to 7th in the ICC Test bowling rankings, the highest in his career. During this tour he declined to play in the [[Indian Premier League|IPL]] with James Anderson on the grounds he wanted to focus on his Test cricket first, and feared injury in the IPL.[[File:Stuart Broad3.JPG|thumbnail|Broad with the Man of the Match award after the Test match against [[Pakistan]] at Lord's in 2010]]

After South Africa, England toured [[English cricket team in Bangladesh in 2009–10|Bangladesh]], playing three ODIs and two Test matches. Injuries to Anderson, Onions and Sidebottom meant that Broad was the leader of a relatively inexperienced pace attack. However, an injury before the Test series meant that he wasn't fully fit and was outbowled by [[Tim Bresnan]] and debutant [[Steven Finn]].

England then travelled to the West Indies for the [[2010 ICC World Twenty20]]. England won the tournament, beating Australia in the final. Broad won the man of the match award against Sri Lanka in the semi-final, and overall took 8 wickets at an average of 17.50.

Back in England, Broad was rested for the [[Bangladeshi cricket team in England in 2010|home series against Bangladesh]] before returning to the side for a [[Australian cricket team in England in 2010|5-match ODI series against Australia]]. England won the first three games to take the series, with Broad named man of the match in the second game after bowling figures of 4–44. England lost the last two games, though Broad did achieve another four-wicket haul in the fifth game to finish the series with an average of 19.83. The ODIs against Bangladesh were less note-worthy – England won 2–1 with Broad taking 4 wickets.

In the [[Pakistani cricket team in England in 2010|home series against Pakistan]], Broad was involved in a disciplinary incident in the second Test. After Pakistani batsman [[Zulqarnain Haider (cricketer)|Zulqarnain Haider]] defended a ball bowled by Broad down the pitch, Broad picked the ball up and threw it at Haider, striking him on the hand. Broad was fined 50% of his match fee.

In the final Test of the series, Broad reached his maiden Test century at Lord's. Coming to the crease at 102–7, he scored 169 and put on a 332-run partnership with fellow centurion Jonathan Trott; a [[List of Test cricket records#Partnership records|world record for an eighth-wicket partnership]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/trott-broad-in-worldrecord-partnership-20100828-13wxa.html|title=Trott, Broad in world-record partnership|last=London|date=28 August 2010}}</ref> It was his first century in all forms of cricket since an under-19's match for [[Leicestershire County Cricket Club|Leicestershire]] and saw his name go on the Lord's batting honours board, a feat that his father never achieved. He also surpassed his father's Test best of 162, and they became the first father and son both to score centuries for England in Test match cricket. His efforts both with the bat and with the ball (he also took three wickets during the match and made a direct-hit run out) earned him the man of the match award.

Broad made a lesser impact in the fourth Test, taking two wickets in each of India's innings, and did not bat, due to an early declaration.

In the first Test against Pakistan Broad took 3–84 in the first innings. However, England suffered a ten wicket defeat as the batsmen struggled to acclimatise to sub continent conditions. Broad took 4–47 in the next match as well as an unbeaten fifty in England's 1st innings (he'd only score 1 test fifty in 5 years after scoring this 50) but another batting collapse saw England lose the match again (bowled out for 72 chasing 145) to go 2–0 down in the three match series.

===2013–14: Ashes series===
Broad was England's leading wicket taker in the first Test of the [[2013–14 Ashes series]] at the Gabba in Brisbane, taking 6–81 in the first innings and ending with match figures of 8–136, in the match that England lost in four days by 381 runs.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/scorecard/87887|title=Australia v England Scorecard|access-date=25 November 2013|work=BBC|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131124143616/http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/scorecard/87887|archive-date=24 November 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref> In the second Test Broad took 3–98 in Australia's first innings, but as England struggled he only bowled six overs in the second innings as Australia romped to victory. Broad took 3–100 in the third Test but was then injured by a delivery from Mitchell Johnson, which dismissed him for just 5. The injury prevented him from bowling in the second innings, as England went on to lose the game and the series. Broad was declared fit for the fourth Test and took 3–45 in the Australian first innings, but struggled in the second, bowling 10 wicketless overs for 58 runs. In the final Test, Broad batted well, making an unbeaten 30 in the first innings and then 42 in the second. England went on to lose the game and the series 5–0, leading to the England team being heavily criticised.

He took 3–24 against the Netherlands, but he was unable to prevent an embarrassing defeat for England.

In the first Test of the series against Sri Lanka, Broad took one wicket in the first innings and three in the second, as England came close to winning the match. In the second Test at Headingley, he became only the fourth player, and the first Englishman, to take two Test hat-tricks, although he needed to be informed of this by the PA system as he was unaware. England went on to lose the game after James Anderson was dismissed off the penultimate ball of the match, meaning England lost the series 1–0.

Broad bowled well on a good batting pitch in the first game of the series against India, taking four wickets in the match. However, in the second game he was accused{{by whom|date=August 2020}} of bowling badly in the first innings, as India won the match to go 1–0 up in the series. Broad's form improved in the next game, as he took 3–66 in the first innings to help England win the game and level the series.

Broad took figures of 2–66 in England's opening game loss to Australia. In the following game against New Zealand, he was unimpressive as England suffered a humiliating eight wicket defeat. He failed to take a wicket against Scotland as England won their first match of the tournament, and also finished wicket less as England suffered a nine wicket defeat against Sri Lanka, meaning he had failed to take a wicket in his past three matches. He finished with 1–52 in England's must win game against Bangladesh, but was dismissed for 9 as England lost the game to bow out of the tournament at the group stage. He finished with figures of 1–18 against Afghanistan in a rain affected as England won their final match of the tournament by nine wickets.

In the first Test Broad took 1–31 in West Indies first innings to help England into a lead. However, England collapsed in their second innings and Broad himself was out for a duck. He took 1–29 in the West Indies second innings but it wasn't enough to prevent a five wicket defeat as the West Indies levelled the series at 1–1.

In the two match series against New Zealand, Broad took 3–77 in New Zealand's first innings. With New Zealand chasing a big score to win the match, Broad took 3–50 in New Zealand's second innings to help England win by 124 runs and go 1–0 up in the series. Broad took 5–109 in New Zealand's first innings of the next Test, although he went at an economy rate of over six an over. He made 46 with the bat to help England level the scores after the first innings. He took 2–94 in the second innings but was again expensive, and New Zealand went on to win the match and tie the series 1–1.

===2015: Ashes series===
In Australia's first innings of the first Test, Broad took figures of 2–60 and followed this up by taking 3–39 in their second innings as England won the match to take the lead in the series.

Broad's best ever bowling performance was on the first morning of his home Test at Trent Bridge. In the fourth Test, Broad took career best figures of 8–15 in the Australian first innings as they were dismissed for just 60. This was the second best Ashes bowling performance of all time after Laker's 19 wickets in 1956 at Old Trafford, and the fastest 5-wicket haul ever in all Tests, as Broad passed 300 wickets.<ref>{{cite news|access-date=2023-07-29|title=Broad stars as England eye Ashes win|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/33723587|newspaper=BBC Sport}}</ref>
England went on to win the match convincingly and regain the Ashes. In the final Test Broad did not take a wicket as Australia won by an innings and 48 runs, although England won the series 3–2.

=== 2015–16: Pakistan and South Africa ===

Broad played in the first Test against Pakistan, which was played in the UAE. While Broad only took one wicket in the match, he bowled economically, including bowling eight overs for just eight runs in the second innings. England came to close to forcing a result, but the match ended in a draw. In the second Test Broad again only managed to take one wicket as Pakistan enjoyed a convincing win to go 1–0 up in the three-match series. In the third Test, Broad continued to bowl economically, taking figures of 2–13 from 13 overs in Pakistan's first innings, as they were dismissed for 234.

The second game ended in a high scoring draw, with Broad taking 2–94 in South Africa's first innings. In the third Test, Broad took 2–82 in South Africa's first innings in a game which looked to be finely poised. However, in South Africa's second innings, he ripped through their top order, finishing with figures of 6–17. Included in his six wickets were the prized wickets of AB de Villiers and Hashim Amla. England went on to win the game by seven wickets, with the result giving them an unassailable 2–0 series lead. England performed poorly in the final game, with Broad taking three wickets in the match as South Africa secured a victory by a margin of 280 runs, meaning the series finished 2–1 to England. As a result of his performances, Broad became the number one ranked Test bowler in the world.

After not playing for England in limited overs cricket since their poor showing at the 2015 World Cup, Broad was included in the squad for the ODI series against South Africa. He played in the fourth ODI, although he returned expensive figures, finishing up with 1–55 in seven overs, as England lost the game. He was selected in the side for the final game, which proved to be the decider, and although he bowled economically, he did not pick up a wicket and England went on to lose the game and the series 3–2.

In the third Test, Broad took 3–83 in Pakistan's first innings as they reached 400, and then took 2–24 in their second innings to help England secure an unlikely victory after dismissing them for 201. In the final match of the series, Broad was less effective, taking just one wicket in the match, as England lost by 10 wickets.

In the first innings of the first Test against Bangladesh, Broad did not take a wicket in the first innings, although he bowled economically. In the second innings he took figures of 2–31 to help England win by 21 runs. He was rested for the second Test, which England lost
