Summary

THE DEFINITIVE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ONE OF ENGLAND CRICKET'S GREATEST EVER PLAYERS.

Stuart Broad is a competitor - someone who's addicted to Test cricket and the pressure that it brings.

For over 17 years, he's been leading England's attack and being responsible for some of the greatest moments in world cricket. Following the 2023 Ashes, he announced his retirement from the sport and now, for the first time, he tells his story. From his legendary 8-15 spell against Australia to taking 600 wickets, this is an inside look at his career and the moments in his life that made him.

Candid, personal, and genuine, this is the story of a true cricketing great.

Class

Class from England’s most underrated bowler, if he was another nationality every time he was mentioned ‘the great’ would precede his name. Thanks for everything Broady you’re class.

Audio

Well written and read.
The Ashes 2023 was the most memorable listen on TMS, you Stuart are very privileged to have been a part of it, I didn’t want it to end!! You have been an outstanding bowler Stuart though you do come across very arrogant.

I normally don't like non author narrators...

When it comes to autobiographies and memoirs, I tend to avoid those narrated by someone other than the subject. However, I'd been so keen to listen to this that I decided to suck it up just this once. Stuart reads the prologue and first chapter before handing over to Chris Harper. Within a few minutes of Chris's narration, I genuinely forgot it wasn't Stuart reading. He doesn't attempt to mimick Stuart, but his enunciation and pitch fit perfectly. It's just as enjoyable as if Stuart had been reading. As for the content itself, this gives a great insight into not only Broady's career but also delves into some of the decision making begin the scenes, on the pitch events remembered as fans from his perspective and a great trip down memory lane for all England cricket fans.

Broady's humour and his insight on different England Personalities

Writing a book about your career wrapped around the 2023 Ashes series really kept this book interesting. Stuart Broad comes across as funny, intelligent and passionate and a really great bloke. A really enjoyable read
