Considering that we usually place ridiculous expectations on the offspring of former test players, I think Stuart Broad has done a cracking job of meeting or even exceeding ludicrously high expectations.

He’s very good. More reliable than his dad. And has already helped England to win us more Ashes than his dad. But a seriously good Ashes winning dynasty, those Broads.

It must be in the gametes, zygotes and all that complicated biology stuff I didn’t concentrate on sufficiently at school.

Stuart Broad is one of the best fast bolwer in English team that is the reason fan of English cricket team expect from him. I will say you expect from those who have ability to do something but it is also right that too much expectations are not good in any thing.

No no no no no. He was the chosen one, destined to bring balance to the English batting order. You can’t go back on that now. Raise up your expectations once more so you can tear him to shreds when he fails.

In reply to Howe. There are people out there who don't want to carry Stuart Broads baby?

In reply to Howe. Is Howe talking about Holding/Lara, or is he hoping to get pregnant by Stuart Broad? I find the post ambiguous.

In reply to Howe. I was wondering if it were theoretically possible for a bastard offspring of Michael Holding and Brian Lara to exist. Seems not.

In reply to Howe. it is entirely possible Stuart broad has 2 dads. I recall a tv show from my yoof when the main character did have 2 dads.

In reply to Howe.

Interesting place to raise this question.
You mean gametes rather than zygotes, and the answer is no. In principle, you should be able to remove the chromosomes from an ovum and replace them with those from a sperm, then fuse this ovum with another sperm. However, the resulting zygote has no X chromosome and some of the genes on this chromosome, genes which are not present on the Y chromosome, are essential for life.
Is there something about Stuart Broad that suggests he had two dads? Because I can’t see it.

Is it possible, genetically speaking, to take two male zygotes and produce an offspring? Just talking about the genetic material ftr – this is assuming you had something to use in place of an ovum.
