At the end of a day of English dominance came a blond bombshell. Stuart Broad, Ashes warrior and arch-antagonist of Australians, walked off the field and promptly announced this fifth Test at the Oval will be the last of his golden career.
All eyes had been on Jimmy Anderson during the buildup, with the master turning 41 on Sunday. But Anderson has stated there are no such thoughts; the kind of thoughts that Broad has clearly been harbouring while delivering another barnstorming Ashes campaign of 20 wickets that has taken him past 600 in Tests overall.
