‘You’re an absolute disgrace’: Stuart Broad recalls altercation with Pat Cummins | Cricket News
England pacer Stuart Broad has revealed the conversation he had with Australian skipper Pat Cummins after Alex Carey’s stumping of Jonny Bairstow during the second Ashes Test.
“As I’m walking out to bat at Lord’s and there’s boos going at the Aussies, the captain Pat Cummins is coming on to bowl so he’s walking towards me at the end of his mark,” Broad said on the Up Front podcast.
“And I just looked at him and said, ‘You’re an absolute disgrace’.
“He said, ‘Oh yeah, you’re hardly an upkeep of the spirit of cricket’.”
Cummins comment was a reference to the 2013 Ashes series, when Stuart Broad didn’t walked away after edging the ball to first slip.
“So that upset me a bit,” Broad said.Most Read

“Then the next 10 minutes became me being very facetious and shouting in every time, which I had huge regrets about that night,” he said.
“I was hugely embarrassed about it but I had no real control over what I was doing.”
Australian players were abused in the Lord’s Long Room as they left the field at lunch – which has led to the suspension of three MCC members – while Stuart Broad was quick to tell Carey “that’s all you’ll be remembered for.”
