Chris could not convert his impressive start to his Test career and was subsequently left out of the English squad after just 25 Tests. His son Stuart Broad has tasted more success in international cricket and that would indeed be a proud moment for Chris.
Stuart on the other end is emerging as one of the best pace bowlers England have ever produced.
Pairing Jimmy Anderson, the duo are the most successful bowling pair in the history of Test cricket. Broad has picked up 417 Test wicket and is second only to Anderson. Stuart is 31 years of age and by the time he calls it a day he might end up as England’s most successful Test bowler.
He is a handy batsman lower down the order and has a Test century to his credit. In 171 innings, Stuart has scored 2976 runs at an average of almost 20.
