Profile
Ryan Broad is a second-generation Queensland cricketer after his father Wayne played 34 first-class games between 1977-78 and 1982-83. The Broads joined Glenn and Sam Trimble as father-son representatives in 2005-06 when Ryan was picked as a Pura Cup opener against Victoria. Over the next two seasons he continued to develop and finished 2007-08 as the side's second highest scorer with 528 first-class runs at 31.44, a haul which was helped by 75 and 107 in the final game against Victoria. Called to join the Academy in the winter, he had to decline after having ankle surgery.
On Pura Cup debut Broad watched four of his team-mates disappear before he steadied the innings with 23 and he returned for two more matches to collect 130 runs at 21.66. Broad, a former Australia Under-19 player and Academy graduate, also appeared in his first ING Cup game and an exciting season included a double-century for his club Wynnum-Manly. His second year was more productive, although he waited for the final stages of the Pura Cup to show his full talents.
After posting 95 against a South Australia attack containing Jason Gillespie and Shaun Tait, he raised his maiden century in the following match against New South Wales with a double of 83 and 111. The innings showed his range - the first was cautious; the second was aggressive, dealing with Stuart MacGill on a fourth-day surface - and he ended the four-match campaign with 314 runs at 44.85. Broad also managed some Test exposure at the Gabba when, as a substitute fielder, he accepted the second-innings catch of Andrew Strauss. Peter English August 2008
