Key Highlights

  • Broad never goes too long without hearing about that particular over in Durban, and it came up again as he made an appearance on Matthew Hayden’s All Over Bar the Cricket podcast.
  • Asked to reflect on it, Broad was happy to accept that it was a low point in his career – but one that only allowed him to grow and improve as a bowler and a cricketer in subsequent years, enroute to 600+ Test wickets.
  • “I wish it never happened, but weirdly, it was the making of me, in a sense,” said Broad.
  • On reflection, the English pacer admitted that he was naive and ill-prepared for a match he was already checked out of mentally, and further not tuned into because it was a dead-rubber that acted as the second half of a doubleheader at the same venue.
  • ‘Preparation was non-existent…’“You know that awful saying from sports, take the positives, I hate that saying.
