Ashes 2023 will serve as a good advertisement for Test cricket

[ad_1] One for both: While Stokes’ men denied Cummins’ side Ashes glory on English soil yet again, the Australians retained the urn as the series was drawn 2-2.  | Photo Credit: Getty Images The Ashes 2023, arguably one of the most memorable spectacles in cricket history, has come to a close with England defeating Australia by 49 runs in the final Test at The Oval.

Ashes 2023: England’s Chris Woakes grateful for Stuart Broad and James Anderson’s input | Cricket News – Times of India

[ad_1] LONDON: Chris Woakes believes his England career has benefitted from the knowledge he has gained from Stuart Broad and James Anderson rather than been hampered by the presence of the veteran pacemen.Despite his outstanding Test record on home soil, double World Cup-winner Woakes has often found himself on the outside looking in when it comes to red-ball cricket given the enduring careers of Anderson and the now retired Broad, who bowed out after the Ashes finale at The Oval.Injuries too, including a knee problem in the Caribbean in March 2022, have also restricted 34-year-old seamer Woakes to 48 Tests.But after more than a year out of the side, he made a huge impact in the Ashes, taking 19 wickets at a stunningly low average of 18.14 in the final three Tests against Australia.The ...

Stuart Broad says goodbye in style

[ad_1] Time to unwind: Broad with his partner Mollie King and daughter after the fifth Ashes Test. | Photo Credit: Getty Images Retirements in sport are tricky affairs. A swollen ankle, loss of form, youngsters snapping at the heels, selectors’ cold gaze or a dip in love towards the 5 a.m. gym alarm, any of these could force that ‘goodbye’ decision. Sport being that unscripted life-throbbing entity, magical farewells are often elusive. Sir Don Bradman was dismissed for a duck, Javed Miandad got run-out and many great players slipped at the last hurdle. To perform and equally contribute to a team victory is the stuff of dreams and Stuart Broad precisely did that at the Oval under the London skies on Monday. Helping England level the Ashes at 2-2 against the ‘old enemy’ Australia w...

Ashes Stat Attack: Stuart Broad finishes with 153 Test wickets vs Australia, most by any bowler | Cricket News – Times of India

Stuart Broad scripts fairytale farewell as England secure 2-2 Ashes draw

[ad_1] Farewell man Stuart Broad hysterically wheeled away, his arms outstretched, the bandana nearly dropping off his head and teammates chasing him wildly. It was the stuff of dreams for an all-time great, as he grabbed the last two wickets to complete the final rites of a 49-run win that squared the Ashes and kept England’s proud home record in the Ashes during his time intact.By the time he returned for his last spell in Test cricket, the match and series was drained of its drama and theatre.

‘2-2 a fair reflection of Ashes 2023’: Captains, Stokes and Cummins agree

[ad_1] It was a Test series that left everyone wanting for more. The two sets of players would’ve preferred a win obviously, but England captain Ben Stokes would concede at the end of The Oval Test – that saw England level the series 2-2 – that the final scoreline was fitting to the way the series had been contested. “Feel really good. 2-2 is a fair reflection at the end of the series,” Stokes said after fifth Test. “Australia, WTC champions, absolute quality team. Don’t think many teams would’ve been able to respond like we did after being 2-0 down. Very proud of the entire team and the effort they put in. Having played a lot of cricket here, you know what it’s like in the 4th innings. Australia played really well yesterday but turning up here and knowing that you still need 250 runs is...

James Anderson’s emotional words for Stuart Broad: ‘Neither of us could have achieved what we have without the other’

[ad_1] Jimmy Anderson has 689 Test wickets to his name. More than any other pacer in the history of the oldest format. Stuart Broad crossed the 600 milestone only last week, becoming only the second pacer to do so. They couldn’t have done any of it without one another, feels Anderson. The 41-year-old seamer would come out to bat alongside Broad on Day 4 of the final Ashes Test – which Broad had announced as his last. “We both said when we saw that image, if we put one photo in our house of our careers, it would be that one.

Stuart Broad: England’s Test ‘addict’ | Cricket News – Times of India
