Stuart Broad faces 'spirit of the game' questions over actions leading up to Marnus Labuschagne wicket in 5th Ashes Test
Stuart Broad seemed to have a little role to play in ending Marnus Labuschagne's vigil at the crease on Day 2.
Australia have often answered England's flamboyant and aggressive batting approach with attrition during the ongoing Ashes
While England's innings on Day 1 featured a number of partnerships that had strike rates well over 100
Australia seemed more keen on wearing the host bowlers out and blunting the attack than scoring runs in the first half of the second day
Marnus Labuschagne led that effort, grinding out just nine runs in a whopping 82 balls.
Broad has been known to be a staunch advocate of the ‘Spirit of Cricket’, not refraining from voicing his opinion on Twitter when a team commits an act that sparks a debate on the topic.
He notably drew the ire of Indian fans for his views on Deepti Sharma Mankading Charlie Dean in a tense women's ODI match between India and England in September 2022
