187: Stuart Broad (Part A)
Yes. He is English. Yes. He is an Australian nemesis. He is also an Ashes legend (no matter what way you look at it). He is also a really good bloke. He has taken wickets around the world, against the very best. He has tormented us Aussies at times. But he is hard working, entertaining, passionate and courageous – everything this podcast is all about! With the 5th most wickets of all time, and also featuring in the top 10 for the most Test Matches ever played, his longevity and success is a result of his work ethic, passion and love for the game, which is only thriving in the era of Bazball. It's all there in his chat with Howie. Give it a go Australia. You WILL be surprised. But also, come on Aussie's! ------------- Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
