ICC match referee Chris Broad, the daddy of England bowler Stuart, has joined the David Warner pile-on, mocking the Australian opener after his dismissal on day two of the third Ashes Test at Headingley.
The veteran seamer dismissed Warner for a seventeenth time in Tests on Friday, eradicating the left-hander for 1 after an outdoor edge carried to Zak Crawley at second slip.
Following the wicket, Broad’s father tweeted a meme that poked enjoyable at Warner — within the photoshopped picture, the 36-year-old writes “Stuart Broad has got me out again” on a chalkboard, recreating the well-known opening sequence from The Simpsons.
It’s understood the ICC is coping with the matter internally, and the tweet has since been deleted.
The 65-year-old, who represented England in 25 Tests and 34 ODIs, commenced his position as an ICC match referee in 2003, officiating a number of Australian matches since. However, he isn’t concerned within the present Ashes sequence.
Since the beginning of the 2019 Ashes, Warner has averaged 8.33 towards Broad in Tests with a strike price of 36.2. Only one Australian in Test historical past has been dismissed extra usually by a single bowler — Arthur Morris towards England seamer Alec Bedser.
Warner has been dismissed by right-armed seamers coming from across the wicket in 16 consecutive Ashes innings in England, averaging 14.75 throughout that interval.
Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the New South Welshman has averaged 28.17 in Tests with one century in 40 knocks. He hasn’t scored a Test century exterior Australia in practically six years.

“When you have an opening bowler bowling to an opening batsman, they are more likely to get them out with a new ball at times,” Australian coach Andrew McDonald informed reporters on Friday night.
“I think the three 50-plus run opening partnerships that Usman (Khawaja) and Dave have put on in the series have been telling and have had great impact.”
