And an improvement on Woakes returns in the series.
Broad hasn't had many poor returns in a long england career he's a proven match winner maybe not this series but he will bounce back.
Why bring Woakes into this? He'll be around for a long while yet and will likely take the new nut when Jimmy hangs up his boots.
Broad is 31 years old, down on pace and seems to lack the threat he used to pose.
In 2017 he has taken 25 wickets in 19 innings, at an average of 39.47.
Over his career he has 393 at 29.23, so it's clear to see his performances are on the slide.
As for returns in the Ashes, nobody (apart from Jimmy "past it & can't bowl in Australia" Anderson) has really given a good account of themselves?
I suppose you could argue Craig Overton has made a good start to his career under testing circumstances
James Anderson - 12 wickets at 25.83
Chris Woakes - 7 wickets at 51.57
Craig Overton - 6 wickets at 37.67
