'He'll go down as one of England's greatest players'

Stuart Broad says he will leave cricket with "pure joy and happiness" after taking the final two wickets as England drew the Ashes with a 49-run victory.

In a thrilling finale, Broad removed the final two Australia batters as England levelled the series at 2-2.

It was a fitting end for an Ashes legend and former Leicestershire player, who announced on Saturday that he would retire after this Test. "It is special," said 37-year-old Broad, who ends with 604 Test wickets after a 15-year Test career.

The Oakham School graduate left Grace Road in 2007, and has gone on to become one of the most iconic names in England's test team.

Darren Maddy played with Broad at Leicestershire and tells Ady Dayman of his very special memories.
