Stuart Broad father and former ICC match referee Chris Board trolls David Warner after Board dismiss Warner 17th time in Test Cricket.
Australia’s strong performance in the Ashes has suffered a setback with the dismissal of their opening batter, David Warner, by Stuart Broad during the Headingley Test. Warner faced a challenging time as he fell victim to Broad for the second time in the Test match. Interestingly, his dismissals in both innings followed a similar pattern. In the first innings, Warner could only manage to face five deliveries before edging one to Zak Crawley at second slip. On Day 3, he experienced a similar fate, nicking the ball to Crawley at the same spot, once again lasting just five balls.
This marked the 17th time Warner has been dismissed by Stuart Broad in the longest format of the game. As Warner returned to the dressing room, a wry smile appeared on his face, perhaps acknowledging Broad’s dominance over him. The incident sparked a flurry of activity on social media, with many memes mocking Warner’s struggles against Broad. Even Chris Broad, Stuart’s father and an ICC match referee, participated in the banter by sharing a meme featuring Warner. The meme depicted a photoshopped image of Warner’s face replacing that of the character ‘Bart’ from the popular American animated sitcom series ‘The Simpsons.’ The humorous text on the chalkboard, written by ‘Bart,’ humorously read, “Stuart Broad has got me out again.”
Chris Board deleted the tweet after facing criticism and warning from ICC.
