The now former England bowler talks to Donald McRae about that Bairstow dismissal, retirement and why playing for Brendon McCullum was the best experience of his long career
Stuart Broad: ‘I like Pat a lot but my gut feeling is that when he writes a book after he finishes playing, he’ll probably think that Lord’s incident was a mistake.’Stuart Broad: ‘I like Pat a lot but my gut feeling is that when he writes a book after he finishes playing, he’ll probably think that Lord’s incident was a mistake.
Broad has felt no sadness that his own time with England, which had narrowed to a final glorious burst with the Test team, is over. “There hasn’t been yet and I’m in that fortunate position that lots of my mates have retired and so I’ve spoken to them – Eoin, Graeme Swann, Matt Prior and Michael Lumb and Chris Read from my Nottinghamshire days.
He took the last two wickets – with the match-winning dismissal coming when he induced Alex Carey to nick an in-swinger to Jonny Bairstow. Bedlam ensued because Carey hadBairstow, thinking that the end of an over had been signalled, wandered out of his crease only to be horrified by Carey, the Australian wicketkeeper, throwing the ball against his stumps. “I’d love to chat to the Aussies,” Broad says.
“Pat’s a great guy who does a lot for the environment and leads really well. One thing I’ve seen in leaders who have been really successful – Morgan, Stokes – is that they’re very authentic. I don’t think that decision was authentic to Pat.” “He would say to Zak Crawley: ‘I don’t want you to average 40 by getting 40 every game. I prefer you to go nought, nought, nought, 70. Win me that game.’ Like Zak did at Old Trafford –. So he really drives home the positive messages. I watched him before the Old Trafford Test. Jonny was having a tough time and so Baz played golf with him, sat next to him at dinner, threw him underarms at training. He spent a lot of time reinforcing Jonny’s strengths. And Jonny goes out and gets 99 .
