Stuart Broad is in line to become the 14th English player to appear in 100 Tests for England, should he return to the team for the first match of the India tour, on Wednesday in Rajkot. Broad was just a fresh faced 21-year-old when he made his debut at a sultry Sinhalese Sports Club ground in Colombo, wheeling through nearly 29 overs and being in the field for 146.5, before claiming his first scalp of Chaminda Vaas, on the hook and edging to Ian Bell in the slips.Three hundred and fifty nine more dismissals have followed, moving him to within 23 of Sir Ian Botham in second place in the all-time list of England bowlers, behind James Anderson. India vs England November 9, 2016, 3:30am Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass But it certainly says something about Broads longevity in the England team is that he is just the third bowler of Englands 14 players to reach the 100th Test landmark, pointing to the patience of the selectors to allow him to flourish.It has been alongside Anderson that Broad has been most potent. He has played 89 of his 99 Tests with the Lancastrian and he has an average of 3.6 wickets per match, the same as his much vaunted colleague through his career. Nasser Hussain labels Stuart Broad an England great Broads record on home soil is where his dominance lays - 232 wickets at just 26.54, with 11 of his 15 five-wicket hauls having come at home, and a strike-rate of 51.67.His statistics away from home are indifferent, both with ball and bat. He has 128 wickets at 32.01 on foreign soil at a strike-rate of 66.22, while he has just one half-century in 63 innings with the bat, averaging 15.58.But it should not be forgotten that Broad is one of just four players in Test history to record two hat-tricks, and the only Englishman. Stuart Broad celebrates his first of two hat-tricks in Test cricket, against India in 2011 Australian off-spinner Hugh Trumble was the first, both against England at Melbourne two years apart, while legspinner Jimmy Matthews achieved the feat in the same game at Old Trafford in 1912, for Australia against South Africa.It was 87 years before it happened again when Wasim Akram claimed a pair of hat-tricks in back-to-back games against Sri Lanka in 1999, and then Broad joined the party with his sensational double.The first, in the midst of a spell of five wickets for five runs in 31 balls against India at Trent Bridge in 2011 sent England on their way to a 319-run victory, while his second, against Sri Lanka at Headingley in 2014 which was spread across two overs, he didnt even know about!Of course, many England followers will remember his incredible feats with the ball - who can forget his demolition of South Africa at Lords in 2012, smashing New Zealand with 7-44 at Lords in 2013 and easing England to an Ashes victory at Durham later that year.And then there was his destruction of Australia again in 2015, on his home ground of Trent Bridge, when he took 8-15 to remove the tourists before lunch - sensational stuff! Stuart Broad celebrates Ben Stokes amazing catch during his 8-15 against Australia at Trent Bridge It is not all just in England that Broad has set the world alight though. His 6-17 at Johannesburg to cut the top off South Africas order as they were bundled out for 83 last winter was his career-best on the road.It is those superb individual performances that has seen him collect nine man-of-the-match awards, a record only surpassed by Sir Ian Botham (12) and Kevin Pietersen (10).But none of those awards came until his real breakthrough series against India in 2011. His 34 Tests prior to the start of 2011 saw him average 27.40 with the bat (including his career-best 169 against Pakistan at Lords) and 35.24 with the ball, with 99 wickets.Twenty-five wickets at 13.84 came in that India series and since, you can see the huge boost in his confidence - 261 wickets at 25.92 in his 65 Tests from 2011 onwards is testimony to that. Only in 2012 did his yearly average climb above 30 again.Broads record against some of the best players in the world shows that not only does he love the big occasion but he loves the big moments too. Auastralias Michael Clarke has fallen victim to Stuart Broad the most often in Test cricket Just ask former Australian captain Michael Clarke, who Broad removed 11 times at an average of just 23.81, while AB de Villiers has fallen 10 times to Broad, averaging only 16.30 against him.Ross Taylor (nine), Chris Rogers and Shane Watson (eight), and Hashim Amla (seven) are other to have suffered the wrath of the world No 5 ranked Test bowler, who did climb to No 1 earlier in 2016.So congratulations to Stuart Broad, a talisman of line and length and the unrivalled king of the DRS review - Englands 14th to 100 Tests, Test crickets 65th, and the 16th bowler with over 200 wickets.That is quite a club to be in!England take on India in the first Test of their five-match tour, in Rajkot, from 3.30am this Wednesday on Sky Sports 2.

Homegrown playersAmy Clinton, Manchester ThunderEarly observations of Amy indicate she is agile and able to use a range of attacking moves to outwit opponents. She shows a lot of composure for an 18-year-old and is likely to make her debut given her successful pre-season campaign. Amy has the capacity to select the right option at the right time whilst under pressure and she has the vision to find the gaps as she seeks to take the ball leading towards the post. She takes a high percentage of shots and early signs show her accuracy is fitting for Superleague. Amy is easily found by midcourters and will no doubt benefit from the first time ball and excellent vision of Natalie Haythornthwaite and Sara Bayman around the circle edge. Georgina Fisher of Hertfordshire Mavericks Georgina Fisher, Hertfordshire MavericksGeorgina is another shooting newcomer with immense talent who is widely being tipped by pundits to excel in her first season on court. She is exciting to watch, versatile and already demonstrating a capacity to outwit some of the top defenders in the Superleague. Georgina demonstrates maturity in the shooting role and is not afraid to take the shot from range. Shes likely to get her chance in the new look Mavericks line-up. Look out for her ability to distribute the ball around the circle edge and also her strong hold against a tight one-on-one defender. Under pressure there appears to be no anxiety for the 17-year-old and with her dedication and hard work she could take Mavericks to the final stages of this Superleague campaign. Possessing the court craft all shooters strive for, she will lead out of the circle, use her out-and-in ball to progress close to the post. Gabby Marshall of Manchester Thunder Gabby Marshall, Manchester ThunderGabby has an intensity about her game and works incredibly hard in the C/WD role. She mirrors aspects we would connect with the performance of Sara Bayman in that she is safe, supportive and demonstrates a real capacity to stick to a game plan.Gabby will offer and re-offer and work tirelessly through the court whilst showing a very strong commitment to her defensive game. She will be viewed more as a defensive centre and we may see her on at WD.Its a big ask to follow in the footsteps of Laura Malcolm and Sara Bayman however, expect to see this young talent on court. Gabby will hunt for the intercept and could get a breakthrough to demonstrate her true potential at this level. Beth Sutherland will play for Hertfordshire Mavericks this season Bethany Sutherland - Hertfordshire MavericksOne of the youngest players representing Scotland at the World Cup in Sydney, Beth is no stranger to netball at the top level. Her mother was an England International and well known within the Mavericks vicinity.Beth has a great international future ahead and is relentless in the WD position. Useful with her double plays on attack and destructive when she applies a tight one-on-one defence, Beth will no doubt be connecting with Joline Johansson (nee Henry) in training and what a great opportunity to develop under the wing of the retired Silver Fern. Vicky Oyesola of Hertfordshire Mavericks Vicky Oyesola - Hertfordshire MavericksMavericks have a superb blend of youth and experience and Vicky is a strong up and coming defensive individual who has potential to emerge as a key impact player. An instinctive defender, who tracks incredibly well also committing fully to delay and deny her opponent any space on the court, Vicky will perform to good principles showing a strong ability to read the game.

Lenize Potgieter will star ffor Team Bath Overseas playersLenize Potgieter - Team BathLenize emerged as a key shooter for South Africa at the World Cup this year and responded so well to the coaching and tactical mind of Norma Plummer the ex-Diamonds coach.dddddddddddd Lenize is likely to contest for the GS position at Team Bath with Chelsea Lewis however, as a combination the pair could be quite special and distinctive this season should either be tested in the GA position.Lenize is not afraid to shoot from long range and equally exit the circle to involve herself in circle edge play. A confident athlete, who will no doubt continue to add a range of shooting court craft throughout the season. Liana Leota will play for Manchester Thunder Liana Leota - Manchester ThunderLiana is fast, agile, creative and most of all can find the gaps in and around the circle edge as a WA. She can outwit with her subtle changes of direction and also use sudden and effective injections of speed.

And shes a real team player who will be a superb addition to the Thunder line upThere is no doubt she will tally a large number of goal assists as we progress through the Superleague season. Everyone should look out for the Leota-Helen Housby connection in 2016.

Shes an athlete who quietly goes about her role but has the talent to secure a perfect and faultless 100% accuracy in competition.Wallace is a talented national basketballer who can outwit her opponents with her one step moves and agility within the circle.

A former U21 New Zealand squad member she is known for her range in terms of disrupting and forcing the error as GK or GD. Having played for Magic and Tactix in the ANZ for a total of four seasons Jo will no doubt bring an offline defensive style and be a driving force with Jade Clarke in terms of through court play as a GD. Jo is very versatile and will no doubt find herself in both roles as coach Karen Atkinson looks at all the circle pairings available.There is no doubt that Trip will bring a subtle determination and skill level to this defensive line up at Lightning.
