Christopher Cricket Career
Broad’s osteomyelitis at 15 slowed his cricket career. His first-class debut came for Gloucestershire in 1979, and he was a regular the following season. He also played for Orange Free State. After returning to Gloucestershire in 1993, Broad retired with a hip injury in 1994.
He was dropped for lack of form, although it was widely believed that the England management did not like his temperament. He memorably knocked his stumps out of the ground after being bowled in the 1988 Sydney Bicentennial Test. The tour manager fined him £500. Broad last played for England in 1989 against Australia. In 25 tests, he scored 162 and averaged 39.54. His four centuries came in Australia, New Zealand, and Pakistan.

Broad was the match referee for the second Sri Lanka-Pakistan test and was in a convoy assaulted by terrorists in 2009. In the attack, he reportedly saved an injured umpire. In a press conference, he and umpire Simon Taufel said, “We were promised tremendous levels of security, and in our hour of need, that security fled.” Six Pakistani policemen and two civilians died, while six Sri Lankan cricketers were hurt in that event.
