I was in conversation last year with a senior official in the England and Wales Cricket Board who told me that Stuart Broad would one day become a great addition to the Test Match Special team.
Well, it's all happened a bit sooner than expected.
Broad is injured, and has been ruled out of the Ashes series.
He let it be known pretty quickly that he wanted to be in Perth for the Third Test, and if he couldn't be on the pitch, then the commentary box was the next best place.
So Broad joins the likes of Michael Vaughan, Michael Slater and Geoff Boycott in the TMS box.
You can hear him on Thursday morning. Play starts at 2.30am on both 5 live sports extra and Radio 4 longwave. If you want to recap on any of the overnight action, we have a 30 minute highlights loop running through the day on sports extra till 5pm.
