David Warner eyes rematch with Stuart Broad after seeing England pacer's resurgence
David Warner said that Stuart Broad is a world-class bowler and has really worked hard on pitching the ball up in the last 18 months.
Australian opener David Warner had an unforgettable Ashes series last year as England pacer Stuart Broad won the one-on-one battle against the left-hander, dismissing him 7 times in 10 innings. Despite all that, the 34-year-old paid tribute to his Ashes nemesis by joking that the English selectors should drop the paceman more often. Stuart Broad took his 500th Test wicket on Tuesday by trapping West Indies batsman Kraig Braithwaite LBW on the final day of the ongoing 3rd Test in Manchester.

While showering more praise on Stuart Broad, David Warner said that the England pacer is a world-class bowler and in the past 18 months, he’s really worked hard on pitching the ball up. Besides acknowledging Broad's outstanding record against left-handers, Warner said that Broad's capability to bring the ball back off the wicket into the right-hander is another string to his bow.
Speaking about the Stuart Broad-James Anderson combination, David Warner said that both the bowlers have the ability to restrict runs. He further said that in England, they bowl a length where if one drives, the batsman is probably going to either edge the ball or hit the stumps, so leaving the ball is not really an option.
