I don't understand why you can't disagree without having to make it personal , loads of other people disagree with my sentiment on broad and set out proper reasons why. You just seem to need an argument whenever you can find one.
McGrath is a previous generation. Broad didn’t play a test match until McGrath had retired. Broad is slightly worse than some mentioned, to say he is well below them is laughable. The bloke has SIX HUNDRED test wickets.

Saw one comment, he’s only been good since 2013. That’s ten bloody years
