Stuart Board always gave it his absolute everything :Nasser Hussain over remarkable spell of him on Day 4.

Former England captain Nasser Hussain expressed his admiration for Stuart Broad’s exceptional performance during the fourth day of the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston. After England were bowled out for 273 in their second innings, setting Australia a target of 281 runs, Broad stepped up and delivered crucial breakthroughs by dismissing Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith.

Australia’s opening batsmen, David Warner and Usman Khawaja, made a solid start, reaching 61/0. However, Ollie Robinson dismissed Warner for 36, paving the way for Broad’s outstanding display. Using his skillful outswingers, the 36-year-old induced edges from Labuschagne and Smith, with Jonny Bairstow completing the dismissals behind the stumps. At the end of the day’s play, Australia stood at 107/3, requiring another 174 runs to win on the final day.

Broad’s bowling was so effective that he could have easily claimed additional wickets. Hussain, in his column for The Daily Mail, commended Broad for his exceptional contribution on the field and his ability to dismiss some of the best batsmen in the opposing team.

Nasser Hussain wrote “He is one who can say that he always gave it his absolute everything. Broad was on his knees with two balls to go in that spell, he had been sprinting back to the end of his mark to beat the clock and bowl one more over, and that for me is all you can ever ask of an England cricketer.

“With him, he strains every sinew, gives every ounce of effort and he’s just going to give it everything until he hangs up his boots. His sense of theatre, his sense of occasion, his sense of when to lift his game, and his sense of how to get great players out is second to none,”
