How could even all batters set their mind for a goddamn victory? They hardly believe they fought hard in previous matches. Victory and Draw become still a better result than starting. With the new Coach, English Cricketers are having their perfect time. Though it's last Test, and they should have in mind how to settle themselves in a better position. Hits every ball hard in the net sessions, they practised more than 8 hours. As they comply the way out for each member related to Cricket. Didn't breathe any heart of a Cricket fan. Ashes 5th Test, Day 01 They didn't settle themselves for a helpful score. Only Harry Brook showed. Their first innings were quite good. But in the bowling hand, Chris Woakes and Stuart Broad know how to get wickets. Day 02, As they showed enough with Bowling, Zak Crawley, Joe Root and Johnny Bairstow joined them with their superb batting with not only individual runs but also partnership. Ben Dugget with Ben Stokes was second important to increase the team run on 395 on 2nd Innings. Day 03, They know the challenges up to them. They wanted to keep going with their bat. Let the score keep increased and they just sit having a coffee and enjoy the rest of them batting passionately. Day 04, James Anderson and Stuart Broad were in the batting. They were giving a huge target against Australia. They were number 10 and 11 batters. Although last batters. That day was special cause Stuart Broad announced his retirement from International a.k.a test Cricket. It wasn't special for all those supporters for their active crickets. Cause he was fire as hell in Test Cricket as a bowler. He couldn't tell it to his closest mate Jimmy earlier as two cricket fans followed them to Starbucks. He went their for telling about the news of his retirement. He needs time to announce it in front of any of his teammates. He hasn't got that fate yet. He knots his breath and crosses his hand on his chest, inhales down but couldn't make a single egey contact with Jimmy, sitting before him, enjoying his iced coffee with caramel on top. So he told it directly to the media. Cause he found no other better option. And Jimmy was totally shocked enough. Root also told him not to retire for Jimmy. But for his physical condition, he took the quick and surprising decision. He has Asthma from birth. He has breathing issues also. Though it's late to retire but he was having sharp times with Test Cricket. He made a quick decision to leave from Test Cricket from his home ground one last time. Yeah, everybody was waiting for the moment, nobody even wanted it either at all. 'Sometimes it happens, you know what will happen next, what you don't want exactly, and you don't have any other way to escape from it. The moment taught you why luck is also important.' Those lines from a book are nowadays becoming new friends of Stuart. Yeah, he is feeling emotional a bit. But it's always okay. Everyone congratulated him after his last steps from the yard, he took the last red ball of his carrier with him. When he was in batting, scoring runs, he hitted a huge six up on the air to infinite for adding SIX runs on board. Even in Australia's 2nd Innings, in bowling time on his last ball, he took a huge wicket!!! Those memorable two innings taught him the last lesson from passionating Cricket. Always been a Cricket addictor. He, along with Jimmy, every time practised hard on the ground or yard when England played White Ball Cricket. He can easily imagine how things have been changed without a single delay. At last, ENGLAND won the last match by 49 runs, as Stuart got 2 wickets on his name. The crowd was huge, even from the corner of the world, watched him live plying his very last match on the home ground. He left the path seeking towards amalgamation when he walked out of the field. The grasses wrote his name forever. Everybody, one the Dressing room, passes a few words about him and praises his carrier as well, cheering him with Champagne, and some get emotional also. They aren't losing a Jame; they scattered a Diamond. He feels heavy under his throat also. As he said lots of his memories and moments with fellas in Tests. Splashes the Glass and said a big last CHEERS! His last walk with Jimmy was like a binding frame on a decent wall. "I would frame it," Stuart already confirms before media and hardly hold his tears, show a smiley face in front of thousands cameras, flashing harder than the noise of stumps, captured every steps from his path where he isn't going back now. When he got back, he even tweeted, 'The Bails are off.'
