Stunning bit of flying though, all credit to the crew.

He did well. He was lucky there was no discernible lock on the nose wheel to try to steer the aircraft off the runway. Its not too difficult to keep it straight with differential braking, I have had a similar problem myself in the past.
He was very sensible to use the whole runway to stop the aircraft rather than try for an emergency stop. It would have been a very different problem if the nosewheel had seized with residual steering lock on.
