Since getting an England captaincy Stuart Broad has become a shrinking violet. One of his greatest strengths was his nasty streak, hating batsmen, sledging anyone in sight and regular visits to the match referee.
Since becoming Mr nice guy he's lost that aggressive edge that made him a dangerous bowler. Time for Mr nasty to replace Mr wimpy.
Bring back Mr Nasty!

In fairness - How many games has he played since the pakistan series where that streak was last seen ???

No just a bit spoilt and moody - and flippant - I dont know why there is call to drop him though - Ive loved the last 7 or 8 years of consistancy

Can anyone name a top fast bowler who wasn't aggressive towards batsmen?
Colin Croft was famous for his hatred of batsmen, even now he's retired he claims his hatred is undiminished and he's a cheerful guy to listen to.

He was on Cricket AM last week saying he hated all cricketers and whilst playing never spoke to anyone

Broad is overated and basically just rubbish.
got a lucky spell against the Aussies 2 years ago and has been living on that game.
Most teams see him as the bowler that they can get after and that why he probably get a few wickets as they play more shots against him.

I wouldn't say that Broad is rubbish.
He may well not be one of the best seamers in England though and IMO his place in the team is in jeopardy.
