A quick learner with an appetite for hard work, Stuart Broad is one of English cricket's brightest young stars. He extracts sharp bounce from a good length and continues to add pace and movement to his accurate bowling that is particularly well-suited to limited overs cricket.

Broad spent his youth as an opening bat under the guidance of father Chris, a successful opener for England during the 1980's, and his elegant left-handed style suggests he will one day fill an all-rounder's berth for England.

A lack of extreme pace made him a target for attacking batsman in his initial Test appearances as a back-up seamer, but his rapid development and aggressive yet focused temperament should see him leading the attack for many years to come. His man-of-the-match display in the final Ashes Test of the 2009 series gave England supporters hope that he could become the long-term allrounder replacement for Andrew Flintoff.
