A biography for Stuart Broadhasn’t been written yet.
“I'm aware how special an achievement 100 caps is because of the players that have come before me and the amount they've given to English cricket.”
“It's quite strange, because off the field I'm quite shy, quiet, prefer to watch a bit of TV at home, but get me on the cricket field I like it all kicking off.”
“I have a dream of playing 100 Tests.”
“I'm a passionate player when I pull that England shirt on; it's a very special and proud moment for you.”
“I'll play as long as that competitive spirit and drive is there because that's what gets me up in the morning, that feeling of having a batsman drive at you, play and miss, the sort of theatre around that sort of stuff.”
“It's a huge privilege to be named England Twenty20 captain and form part of a leadership team that I've no doubt will work well together with a great deal of synergy.”
“I'd rather be the guy you can turn to in a high-pressure scenario than a dead rubber.”
“I'm not someone who looks to swing the ball away majorly.”
“A large part of my childhood was spent holding a cricket bat. The first time I picked one up was in the garden aged about six, and I've never really put the bat down since.”
“It's just important to try to keep a cool head and stay logical rather than emotional. But then again you have to keep that balance between not becoming too logical because you need to have that passion in order to play to 100% in the game.”
“When two players are playing with passion for their country, that's good to see.”
“If I've got a run-out chance to win the game I want to take it.”
“I've always enjoyed playing the shortest form of the game and I relish the opportunity to develop my leadership skills as England's Twenty20 captain.”
“Bowlers have to accept they will go for runs sometimes.”
“Part and parcel of being an international sportsman is dealing with fair or unfair criticism and also when you are on the back pages when you are performing.”
“I found Ricky Ponting the hardest to bowl to and it was a great pleasure to play against him as he was genuinely one of the best that's ever played and a really tough competitor as well. He hated you when you were on the field but he always shook your hand and was the epitome of 'play hard but play fair.'”
“I've not gone out of my way to live a celebrity lifestyle, which I could easily have done.”
“The more you can keep your action and your mind and the ball you are delivering as simple as you can nothing can go wrong.”
“The history of Test cricket will suggest if you hold the top of off longer than anyone else you will have success, in England particularly it's about owning the top of off.”
“You have to deal with your emotions and not spike too much on the graph - not get too elated with the highs or too down with the lows.”
