Chris Broadとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Brian Christopher Broad, usually known as Chris Broad (born 29 September 1957, Knowle, Bristol, England) is a former England Test cricketer and current Test official. An opening batsman, Broad had a 25-match long international Test career during which he hit six centuries, together with 34 One Day International matches with a respectable over 40 average. He is known largely for his feats during the 1986/87 Ashes series where he hit three centuries in consecutive Tests, and for his fiery demeanour at the crease. He went on to become a Test official, while his son, bowler Stuart, represents the same teams as his father, England and Nottinghamshire. Cricket correspondent, Colin Bateman, noted, "Chris Broad pressed the self-destruct button on a career that promised so much. His lack of self-control at the crease brought a sad end to his reign as England opener at the age of 30, when he should have been enjoying his prime years".
