Ashes 2021 LIVE: Michael Vaughan, Shane Warne shocked at Stuart Broad’s snub by England for Boxing Day Test
AUS vs ENG Live Score, Ashes Boxing Day Test
- Stuart Broad has taken record 119 wickets against Australia in the Ashes
- He has managed to play just one Test- Adelaide Pink-ball test- and missed Brisbane & Melbourne Tests
- He scalped just a couple of wickets in Adelaide but other bowlers had also struggled at the venue.
- The England pacer is known for his classy bowling on Green turf.
“Stuart Broad should be playing here (in Melbourne), he should’ve played in Brisbane. How Stuart Broad is not going to be bowling around the wicket to David Warner on a green top, I just can’t fathom that with the quality that he brings.”– Vaughan said as quoted by Fox Sports.
“I look at someone like Stuart Broad, in Brisbane he wasn’t selected on that green top there, he’s not selected here. How England have not seen Stuart Broad, with all his experience, such a wonderful Test career, is not going to be bowling a ball on a green top in Brisbane and now not here in Melbourne, that’s staggering really,” he added.
“England looks a better-balanced side – but I would have played @StuartBroad8 instead of Robinson & Pope looks a good player to me, but Bairstow had to play,”– Warne wrote on Twitter.
England looks a better balanced side – but I would have played @StuartBroad8 instead of Robinson & Pope looks a good player to me, but Bairstow had to play. Pope will play a lot of test cricket. Aussies will welcome back @patcummins30 & good luck to S Boland on debut, he’s good
