When Broad first played first class cricket for Leicestershire, he had only been bowling seriously for a couple of seasons, having been mainly a batter for Oakham school. I cannot remember him bowling at 90+ mph, but do remember him being more a swing bowler. Leicestershire had to hold him back, because he grew to quickly and his body muscle's were struggling to keep up with his overall growth. If he had been over bowled then it would have fucked him up big time.
