Australian all-rounder Shane Watson has said he feels that England bowler Stuart Broad is more of a silent strike force than a 'feisty pot-stirrer', adding that he must not be underestimated.

According to Telegraph.com.au, Watson said that he enjoys playing against Broad because the England bowler is extremely competitive, adding that he is a skilful bowler who has had serious impact at certain times.

Watson further said that Broad attacks silently with every single ball he bowls unlike certain other players, who push the level of competitiveness to beyond its limit, adding that a batsman enjoys playing against bowlers who are always at him.
