The England cricket team made a great comeback in the 5-match Ashes series as they managed to level the series by 2-2 after going down by 2-0 post the first two test matches. The series also ended in a great manner for England as they won the fifth test match by 49 runs but going forward, they will miss one player very badly. Yes, you guessed it right! We are talking about none other than Stuart Broad.
On Saturday, the pacer Stuart Broad shocked everyone after announcing that the fifth test match will be his last test match for the country. In his illustrious career of 17 years, Stuart Broad has seen many ups and downs, the toughest moment for him must be the one when he was smashed for six sixes in an over by Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh during a match of the 2007 T20 World Cup. But he emerged strongly after that and became more competitive and focused after that incident.
Stuart Broad is one of those few bowlers who have touched the mark of 600 wickets and he ended his career with a unique achievement. He has become the only cricketer to hit a six on the last ball that he played as a batter and he also took a wicket on the last ball that he bowled in the second innings of the Aussies.

Stuart Broad took 2 wickets in the second innings of Australia and with this, his total count went to 604 wickets. He is the fourth bowler to touch the 600 mark, the second pacer to do so and the second England bowler after James Anderson.
We wish Stuart Broad Happy Retirement!!!!
