In the 1986-87 Ashes series, he scored centuries in three consecutive matches, only the third Englishman to have achieved this feat, albeit against a weakened Australian team. He was dropped ostensibly for a lack of form, but it was also widely viewed that the England management did not agree with his temperament - he famously knocked his stumps out of the ground after being bowled in the 1988 Sydney bicentenary Test. He last played for England for the second Test against Australia in 1989, having played in 25 Test matches with a high score of 162 and an average of 39.54. Unusually, he made all of his centuries outside England - 4 in Australia, 1 in New Zealand and 1 in Pakistan. For other uses, see The Ashes (disambiguation). ...

In 2003, Broad became an ICC Test official, acting as match referee for Test matches and one day internationals, including the first match of the World Cricket Tsunami Appeal and serving as match referee in the World Cup Super Eights game between the West Indies and Australia. The World Cricket Tsunami Appeal was an effort by the International Cricket Council to raise funds to support the humanitarian relief efforts following the Indian Ocean tsunami of 26 December 2004. ...
