England bowler Stuart Broad still insists he would’ve batted first on the morning he bowled one of the greatest Ashes spells of all time
It's a good thing Stuart Broad wasn't England's Test captain on that fateful day at Trent Bridge in 2015.
In what remains the shortest innings ever in Test cricket, Broad bowled one of the greatest spells in Ashes history as the hosts skittled Australia for 60 in just 111 balls.
The 33-year-old took 8 for 15 to basically clinch the 2015 series for England in the most incredible fashion.
But if it were down to him, England would've batted first after winning the toss that morning.
"It sounds awful to say now," he told talkSPORT. "At Trent Bridge, it can nibble slowly on day one and then get faster on day two.
"Having played there so much for Notts, I knew you win a lot of games batting first.
"I was marking my run up and Shane Warne walked past me. He loved to bowl last on the worn pitch, but he looked at me and said, 'Even I'd bowl today'.
"So maybe I got that one wrong!"
As a bowler, even one as accomplished as Broad, it's not too often you see your name in the wickets column eight times, especially against the Aussies.
And the England seamer admits he still hasn't quite got over it, even five years on.
"I still can't quite believe the look of the scorecard," Broad added.
"I look back with a lot of fondness, but also a lot of fate. A lot of things worked in our favour.
"I'd bowled thousands of overs at Trent Bridge, I felt very comfortable there.
"The conditions were that perfect movement - just half a bat's width.
"It was a dream for a bowler, and all the catches were taken."
