His stats over the last 12 months are still excellent He certainly does, I guess it’s that fine line, some insist on going out on their terms so they get all the attention Broad will be getting now. Some just never want to stop. I’m guessing Broad will go straight into media but Jimmy hasn’t the same persona to do that so I guess he’ll go on, risking never having a proper send off.

Jimmy is a dead cert for TMS if he wants to do it, he already does ODI/T20s for them plus his podcast. Broad will be on Sky full time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I’ve not heard him on that, he’s done a couple things with Sky and has been very dull and flat and offered little, just not a natural but he does have interesting things to say. Maybe he’s better on radio and of course they all improve as they go on, so we’ll see. Edited July 29, 2023 by ralphindevon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Jimmy would want a big send off. Apparently he isn’t that type of person. I can see him just playing until he stops getting picked and then playing for Lancs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely don’t know, nor have I met, a single person who has a good word to say about The Hundred. Test cricket is the ECB’s cash cow. It’s such a shame they’ve overlooked that.

Test cricket is the ECB’s cash cow. It’s such a shame they’ve overlooked that. It'll be one to keep an eye on because Richard Gould isn't a fan either and I think he'd happily get rid of it if money wasn't an issue. The issue is that their deal with Sky is based on it continuing, so there would need to be an alternative that they're happy to pay the money for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 I hope the Aussies do the decent thing and give Broad a guard of honour tomorrow and at the end of the game.

ralphindevon Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 With an unsettled forecast I really hope England don’t waste time batting this morning. I know Broad suggested they would but hopefully that was just mind games. I’ll be glad when Broad retires as every time I write his name it autocorrects to B-road for some reason.
