Ashes 2015: Twitter praises Stuart Broad on monumental effort
Broad completed his five-wicket haul in just 19 balls, which was the fastest ever achieved in Test-match cricket.
As Stuart Broad wreaked havoc against arch-rivals Australia at Trent Bridge on the very first day of the Ashes Test grabbing career-best figures of 8/15 in just 9.3 overs, Twitter was getting flodded with congratulatory messages for the 29-year old English seamer.
Broad completed his five-wicket haul in just 19 balls, which was the fastest ever achieved in Test-match cricket. He later went on to add three more wickets to the tally.
Here are some of the best tweets:

Watching the highlights and Nasser Husain’s at the pitch. Not unplayable he says, just great bowling. Broad has stepped up.

Broad 8-15 must rate among the greatest bowling performances of all time. Can’t think of a fast bowler who has done better

I hate the way he appeals but admire the way he bowls. Underrated but very effective. Well done, Stuart Broad #300
