Stuart Broad on GT’s tactics

Published by Webster

2 min readJun 1, 2026 07:03 PM IST Gujarat Titans slightly changed their batting order during the final against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Jos Buttler, who batted at number three for the franchise, was demoted to number four, and Nishant Sindhu came in to bat at three. “Buttler batted at 3 throughout the tournament. And then came the final, batting first, he moved down to bat at 4. I can’t get my head around why you changed the role in the final. Even AB de Villiers said it was a defensive move,” Broad said on the for the love of cricket YouTube channel. Analysing the move, Broad predicted that the change might have come because GT felt the wicket could improve for batting in the second innings. “Buttler dropping down was surprising as it’s not like he’s not exposed to the new ball, having opened so much for England. It does seem slightly curious. The only rationale behind the move was the think tank feeling the pitch was going to get better and have the …

Jos Buttler, Stuart Broad back Jacob Bethell in IPL after Alastair Cook criticism: ‘Times have changed’ | Cricket News

Published by Webster

3 min readApr 30, 2026 06:42 PM IST England stars Jos Buttler and Stuart Broad have backed Jacob Bethell’s decision to remain with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL, arguing that the modern game has changed and that the youngster can still benefit enormously from being in the tournament even without regular game time. Bethell’s situation has sparked debate in England after former captain Alastair Cook suggested the left-hander would be better served returning home to play county cricket rather than staying on the bench in India. That stance was strongly challenged by Kevin Pietersen, who argued that critics underestimate the value of being part of an IPL setup. Pietersen said training alongside elite players, working with world-class coaches and learning in a high-pressure environment could be just as beneficial for a young cricketer as county appearances. Buttler sided firmly with that argument, saying those who have not experienced the IPL often fail to understand what it offers. “I think unless you’ve played in the IPL and been here and experienced it, it’s very difficult …

Jos Buttler, Stuart Broad hail Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s rise

Published by Webster

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s remarkable emergence in the IPL has prompted Jos Buttler and Stuart Broad to joke that Rajasthan Royals may need to hand the teenage sensation a historic long-term deal to keep hold of him. The left-hander, who debuted for RR in IPL 2025, has become one of the most talked-about cricketers in the league for his ability to play some of the best bowlers with little or no fear and has already scored 400 runs in nine matches this season. Discussing the youngster’s future, Buttler suggested Sooryavanshi could become the first player to land an unprecedented two-decade contract. “Could be the first 20-year contract,” Buttler said on the “For The Love of Cricket” podcast. Broad quickly agreed. “20-year contract, yeah.” Buttler then imagined the scale of numbers the teenager could produce over such a spell. “You know, 20,000 runs in his IPL career. He’d still probably have another five years left.” Broad responded with a laugh: “Yeah, he might be a bit tired by then.” Broad, meanwhile, praised Rajasthan Royals for spotting and backing …

The Big Bang Theory spin-off Stuart Fails to Save the Universe to release in July 2026 | Hollywood News

3 min readMumbaiApr 28, 2026 05:46 PM IST Seven years after The Big Bang Theory signed off in 2019, its universe is preparing for another return, this time through an unexpected lens. A new spin-off, Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, shifts the spotlight to comic book store owner Stuart Bloom, with Kevin Sussman reprising his role. The project introduces a science-fiction twist to the familiar sitcom world, signalling a tonal expansion for the franchise. The first glimpse of the series was unveiled on April 26 during a panel at CCXP Mexico City, where streaming platform HBO Max presented the show as a multiverse-driven story. According to the official logline, Stuart Bloom “is tasked with restoring reality after he breaks a device built by Sheldon and Leonard, accidentally bringing about a multiverse Armageddon”. The narrative places Stuart at the centre of a high-concept premise, joined by his girlfriend Denise, played by Lauren Lapkus, along with a returning group of familiar faces. As they attempt to navigate the fallout, the characters encounter “alternate-universe versions” of figures …

T20 World Cup: ‘You could put a really strong argument that he’s the best quick bowler ever’ – Stuart Broad’s praise for Jasprit Bumrah | Cricket News

3 min readMar 7, 2026 02:28 PM IST With his decisive spell against England in the T20 World Cup semi-final on Thursday, Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah showed why he is counted among the best in business. With England batsman Jacob Bethell in rampaging form, Bumrah accounted for just ten runs in his last two overs including six runs in the 18th over during England’s chase of the 254-run target. England would eventually fall short by seven runs and Bumrah’s 18th over paved the way for India’s win. Former England pacers Steve Finn and Stuart Broad have now counted Bumrah to be best bowler in the world at present with Broad even terming Bumrah as the ‘best quick bowler ever’. “Everyone else is mortal. There’s great bowlers, there’s good bowlers, but then there’s Jasprit Bumrah who sits above all of them at the moment, and I include people like [Pat] Cummins, [Mitchell] Starc. I think he is just on another planet to any other bowler in the world at the moment,” Finn said on the podcast …

‘They’re not party animals’: Stuart Broad rubbishes claims about England’s ‘drinking culture’ after 1-4 Ashes drubbing | Cricket News

Published by Webster

As scrutiny grows on the England team’s behaviour during the recent Ashes series Down Under where Ben Stokes’ men were thumped 1-4 by Australia, former England cricketer Stuart Broad has come to the defence of the side claiming they “do not have a drinking problem.” The four defeats in five Tests at the hands of Australia were punctuated by incidents of players being seen drinking. Multiple England team members were spotted drinking on multiple days in Noosa during a break that the team took in the middle of the Ashes tour. After England’s defeat in the series was completed, media reports revealed that England’s limited-overs captain Harry Brook had been slapped with a fine of 30,000 pounds ($40,300) for getting into a fight with a bar bouncer during England’s tour of New Zealand right before the Ashes. While Brook was given a ‘final warning’ for his future conduct, he was not stripped of the white-ball captaincy and also continued to be the vice captain of the England team in the recently-concluded Ashes tour. Despite those …

England are 3-0 down against Australia after the first three Tests in the ongoing Ashes. Ahead of the series, former England cricketer Stuart Broad called this iteration of the Australian side the worst in the last 15 years. However, despite England taking a hammering yet again, Broad stuck to his stance that this Australian side being worst. “Do I regret saying that? No,” Broad said on his For The Love of Cricket podcast. “I did say Australia would have to play very badly and England would have to play very well. Australia haven’t played very badly and England haven’t played very well.” “From England’s point of view, what would they have liked coming into this series?” he said. “A lot of things have gone England’s way. But England haven’t been good enough ultimately. Australia have been relentless in what they’ve done.” “Do I think the 2013-14 [Australian team] man for man was a better side? Yes, probably still. I don’t think individually they are better than any other team since 2010-11, but they’ve been relentless …

The Ashes series buildup was dominated by volleys and counter volleys that former England and Australia players indulged in. But after the English went 0-3 down in the series and failed to reclaim the urn from Australia, former England pacer Stuart Broad’s comment on this being the worst Aussie side since 2010-11 came back around. “Have to say, being called the worst Australian team in 15 years… like it’s nice to be sitting where we are, 3-0 up. The job’s not done yet. We want to make sure it’s 5-0 and really take that urn,” Marnus Labuschagne said to the Australian Broadcasting Corp on Sunday. Australia have utterly dominated the series, winning the first 2 Tests at Perth and Brisbane without skipper Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood while wrapping up the Ashes with 2 matches to go after winning the 3rd match at Adelaide without Steve Smith. In hindsight, Broad’s comments haven’t aged well. “It’s probably the worst Australian team since 2010 when England last won, and it’s the best English team since 2010,” Broad …

‘Oh Harry!’: Michael Vaughan in disbelief, Stuart Broad raises questions as ex-England stars react to Brook’s dismissal | Cricket News

England were off to a nightmarish start in the second Ashes Test with Mitchell Starc sending Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope back quickly and making the pink ball talk early. They were then brought back into the game by Joe Root and Zak Crawley and Harry Brook seemed to be doing the same after the latter’s dismissal. However, Brook’s steady stand with Root ended in a way that left some of England’s former stars visibly frustrated in commentary boxes. With his partnership with Root on 54 off 69, Brook went for a big booming drive off Mitchell Starc with minimal footwork second ball of the 40th over, which was pitched up just outside the off stump. It took his outside edge and darted to Australia captain Steve Smith’s face and the latter did well to hold on. Former England captain Michael Vaughan was on commentary for BBC’s Test Match Special, who put out a video of his reaction to the moment in which he can be seen leaning back with his hands folded and a …

Stuart Broad on his viral moment in the commentary box in the 1st Ashes Test: ‘Close my eyes and just pray that it wasn’t actually happening’ | Cricket News

Coming out of the 1st Test at Perth, the Ashes found its first noteworthy viral moment from the commentary box where former England pacer Stuart Broad had closed his eyes as the Three Lions kept losing wickets against Australia. Broad had an expression of disbelief and closed his eyes and prayed that the England collapse turned out to be a bad dream. “It’s what Test cricket does. It sort of brings all your emotions out and it was that period of commentary where we lost 4 in the blink of an eye. And when Rooty chopped on, it was just a natural reaction for me was to close my eyes and just pray that it wasn’t actually happening. If I close them, maybe it wasn’t actually happening. Can we just soak up a little bit of pressure somehow,” Broad opened up on Sky Cricket about the moment after England were thrashed by the hosts by 8 wickets. “I have been there loads of time before in Australia, we all would have been where they just …
