Broad Impressed With Josh Hull, Says 'his Run-up Will Evolve Over Time'
Josh Hull: Young left-arm fast-bowler Josh Hull impressed everyone during day two of England’s third Test against Sri Lanka at The Oval, and former pacer Stuart Broad thinks his run-up will evolve over time in the longer format.
In his five-over opening burst, 6ft 7in Hull clocked high speeds during his spell of 1-26, which included the wicket of Pathum Nissanka. Hull’s attributes are widely seen as a point of difference by England in their preparation for winning the Ashes in Australia.
"I have been really impressed. He has been picked on attributes. His height, his bounce, getting the ball to swing back into the right-handed batter. An average of 83mph is fine in Test match cricket but he will get quicker the older he gets. I think his run-up will evolve over time. I don't think it will stay as long as it is at the moment.
