LONDON : When England fast bowler Stuart Broad announced on Saturday that he was retiring from cricket after the Ashes series, he probably had visions of bowling his team to victory on the fourth day of the final test against Australia.
It was his 55th maximum in tests, putting him fifth on England's all-time list of six-hitters behind the illustrious quartet of Ben Stokes, Kevin Pietersen, Andrew Flintoff and Ian Botham. The 37-year-old has played 40 Ashes tests in nine series since 2009 and taken 151 wickets, more than any other bowler against Australia.The Australia openers confidently saw off Broad's opening spell and he conceded 15 runs in six overs before rain halted the day's play.
