On Sky's coverage of the 50 over game today, they showed Broad netting and Cork highlighted the fact that he had changed from an Aditek to the new style Masuri...
He has obviously suffered a lack of confidence in the Aditek...

Or his new carbon fibre one custom made with the lining he prefers hasn't arrived yet...

It will be interesting to see which he chooses - in reality the weight difference between the two is staggering - as is the "visibility". I suspect there will be a certain amount of peer pressure around in the dressing room too.

Regardless it is great that he will be able to play.

A fair point about the arrival of a new Aditek...
It could be said that the Aditek did partially do its job as Broad only suffered a broken nose where as Kieswetter had to have major surgery on his face and eye socket... Although the ball shouldn't have gone through the grille, it obviously cushioned and lessened the blow...

I am suprised that no one has asked Stuart Broad.......'Tell me Stuart, where exactly did it hit you?' yet !

I'm still waiting for the 'Line-up' shot of Gatting - Broad - Giant Panda.

From the pictures and the broken nose I think that's fairly obvious!

Think he's making reference to Mike Gatting, who having worn one from a Windies quick in the 80's was asked that very question during a TV interview.

That's right, during a press conference, one of the funniest things I've seen.  Mike's reaction is great.

I'm too young to know such things, is said interview on YouTube by any chance??

Good lord man, have you ever played the game! :-)

Compared to the time some people on here will have been playing, I'd say probably not in comparison!

tomtek must not be too concerned that broad is using another brand of cricket helmet if he is off playing cricket with the CBF boys

What would you have him doing instead?

[FattusCattus]

He should obviously be hanging around on here waiting to respond to pointlessly provocative posts and conjecture.
