A bit more from Stuart Broad

[On his winter playing club cricket in Melbourne] I was 17-18, living with the groundsman. I rolled the pitches, trained Tuesday and Thursday and played on Saturday and Sunday I think. I loved it: I opened the batting, opened the bowling and stuck in.

[On the 600th wicket] All of us didn’t think it was carrying to Rooty. We were delighted to get Head out; he hit some amazing cover drives. Tea came at a good time for us. We had a little chat about how we should bowl with the slightly softer ball.

[On the ovation from the crowd] It’s really nice. I love playing at Old Trafford. I got my 500th here and my dad was on the ground. It was during the Covid bubbles but he was the match referee so that was quite nice. My mum and stepdad were here today as well.

[On his dad Chris’s tweet about David Warner] I had a coffee with him last week and told him, ‘You should get fined for that!’
