England coach Andy Flower has said that it would be fair to place Stuart Broad among the great bowlers in cricket, after what he showed on the fourth day of the fourth Ashes Test to win England the Ashes.

According to the Mirror, Flower pointed out that Broad was just 27 and had many more years ahead of him if his fitness permitted and he expected the bowler to have many more days like the one where he thrilled the crowds and changed the game with a spell of bowling.

Flower said that the fact that the bowler already had 200 Test wickets was an achievement at his age.

The coach said that Broad had an advantage with his height and could take more wickets in the coming years with his experience.
