Cricket: Hasn't Sunk In That I Won't Bowl Another Ball Or Hit Another Ball, Says Stuart Broad
Recently-retired England fast bowler Stuart Broad has admitted that the feeling of him not bowling or batting anymore "still hasn't sunk in", adding that finishing on top at the end of an Ashes series was all he wanted. Broad announced that he would retire from the game after day three of the fifth and final Ashes Test at The Oval. He got a fairytale finish to his career by claiming the last two wickets of the match on Day Five as England won by 49 runs to level the series 2-2 with Australia, with Broad taking 22 wickets across five games.
"I felt really relaxed that last day and just for (Chris) Woakes and Moeen [Ali] to set the tone as they did and get some early wickets was awesome. I played so much cricket with both of those guys and it was so special. Ultimately, I just feel really proud of being able to play for England for as long as I have and experience as much as I have. It probably hasn't sunk in that I won't bowl another ball or hit another ball."
