The best bowling spell in Ashes History

We all remember this phenomenal spell, don't we? For years, Stuart Board played the second fiddle to the legendary James Anderson in the English bowling.

Despite building a superb reputation for himself, Broad was never "The Bowler" in the England team.

It all changed on that fateful day, when Broad ripped through the Australian batting lineup and, for just one day, became the premier bowler in the whole cricketing world.

With England leading 2-1 coming into this match, Australia were motivated to make a comeback into the series.

Who knew that Broad was gonna humiliate them in the worst way possible? Striking twice in the first over of the match, Broad removed both Warner and Smith and triggered a collapse that ended with Australia getting bundled out for just 60 after only 18.3 overs.

Unplayable and fiery, Broad's career-best figures of 9.3-5-15-8 laid the foundation stone for an impressive Ashes win for England.
