Stuart Broad has focused on the nuts and bolts of what it takes to be a professional cricketer . . . My World In Cricket is sure to be enjoyed by promising young cricketers who idolise Broad and dream of emulating him, but there are pearls of wisdom for cricketers of all ages and abilities to learn from, while the in-depth analysis of key moments in England's journey over the past five years also make this an insightful read for armchair fans who prefer to enjoy the game with their feet up -AllOutCricket.com
Life as a professional cricketer is the chief subject of Broad's new book, My World in Cricket. The 26-year-old is eager to stress that this is by no means an autobiography, rather an insight into the training and life techniques he employs to see him through an elite career in the sport he loves. It promises to be an interesting read for cricket fans - Sport
Broad, captain of the England Twenty20 team which returned home last week from the World T20 after a performance sadly lacking in 'KP' power, is one you might imagine would harbour serious reservations about the return of the prodigal after the summer's shenanigans, especially as one of the chapters in his new book focuses on how to create a "happy changing room - Telegraph
Next week, Broad, 26, will be among the senior players who meet with Pieterson to begin the batsman's rehabilitation into the England fold. Potentially awkward, yet the fast bowler is adamant he wants Pieterson on the upcoming tour of India which begins this month - Metro
England depart for India in two weeks with a new captain at the helm following Alistair Cook's appointment as successor to the retired Andrew Strauss. The vice-captaincy remains vacant, however, and Broad is interested in the post having fed his appetite for leadership at the World Twenty20. 'It hasn't been discussed. But any leadership role within the England side is a huge honour,' he said. 'It's an important role if you do get it. I enjoyed being captain at the World Twenty20 - Daily Mail
Excellent insights, as well as some confessions

When I first started reading Broad's second book I was impressed with his theme of showing cricketing tips to players of all ages. Little did I know how this philosophy of Stuart's would "play out" in the end...*
The next interesting bit was how Broad discussed taking abuse from fans and its effects on bowler performance. I've always been interested in how players deal with verbal abuse. I'm impressed with the way Stuart reveals in this book how the team prepares and is therefore able to cope. Did you think I was going to tell the written out strategy? Haha! You'll have to get his book to find out.
There was sort of a revelation for me in reading about how Broad copes with media attention and how it affects his game on page 17. It was telling that he should mention life outside cricket, because to me he's always seemed like a person who is only about cricket 100%. I was excited to find out more at this point, so I read on until 2am!
When Stuart tells about his experiences in the Ashes in 2009 I understood more about the game I watched, live and in person, at my first ever international game since moving from America to England.
The middle part of Broad's book has great tips for practising one's game. I imagine this would be useful to youngsters who play hard at cricket and really enjoy it. The more I read the further I was assured that this book would be best suited for younger people looking to improve their game. Stuart really offers detailed advice in his book.
What a great guy he is putting together his own book, yet providing advice to those who strive to work at their cricketing skills. *Quite a creative and thoughtful way that Broad developed to give back to the fans who support him. I highly recommend this book to cricket fans of all ages as there's something included within the pages for everyone who doesn't just like this sport, but loves it!

Having read Stuart Broad's previous book which detailed his career up to the point of writing I did wonder what else could be included in this book that would make it new and interesting. The first point to note is that this book is not an autobiography. Where Stuart's last book focused on his personal life and career this is much more of a training/information guide for any avid sports stars, particulalry those with a passion for cricket. It discusses things like training routines, pre-match rituals and much more. It is well worth a read for anyone who is a fan of STuart, at all interested in cricket or indeed anyone who plays any kind of sport at a competitive level and wants to find out how a professional sportsman ticks.
