Already leading by 305 with six wickets in hand. Time to knock the Aussies around the boundary😀

Same here just hope the weather holds up and they don't get another undeserving draw.

Stuart Broad announces his retirement.
What a cricketer.

Fucking hell, that's some surprise. I assume he discussed it with Jimmy beforehand!

Told Jimmy this morning supposedly before telling the team. Told Stokes and McCullum last night.

Would have thought he'd have held off until after the game but suppose any wickets will be extra special now

Having listened to his interview I think basically he didn't want it to get leaked before he'd said anything publicly, which is fair enough. A phenomenal cricketer, and arguably bowling as well as he ever has. Stepped up against the Aussies more than anyone since Botham really, so makes sense to go out on an Ashes series. Every chance that four of this team never play another test - Broad retiring, Jimmy must be thinking about it, Moeen I'd be shocked if he doesn't re-retire after this and Woakes doesn't play away anyway, and who knows where he'll be next summer.

I think Anderson will announce his on the final day of the Test. Think that was why B-road did it now.

As Broad said himself, going out on a high is absolutely the best time to do it. Fair play to him. If Jimmy does announce his retirement now he's going to look a little silly, in my opinion, which is a shame. Yes he's struggled with injury but he hasn't been at the top of his game for some time now. The feeling with Broad's retirement is one of a bit of shock but also acceptance, with Jimmy I feel most people would say it's a few series too late.

I can see a better argument for Jimmy playing on if Broad isn't to be fair - losing both at the same time would be difficult for the team, and the next away series in India where Jimmy has a much better record than you might imagine.

Really feel a bit emotional about Broad retiring. Such a competitor but also a really likeable, engaging guy. Up there with our very best cricketers in my opinion. Really hope he gets Warner!
