5 times when cricketers gave befitting replies on social media

3. Stuart Broad shuts an Aussie fan

During the Ashes 2013, in a match at the Nottingham ground, Broad was batting against a spinner from the Australian line-up. He edged one and the ball went straight into the hands of the slip fielder. It was very evident that he had edged it. 

However, the umpire had a different idea as he gave it not out, much to the disbelief of the Aussie players in the field. Broad decided not to walk, even though he knew he had edged it. 

A month later, an Australian fan wrote on Twitter asking the English bowler, why can’t he just walk when he knows he is out. To this, the fast-bowler replied with fire, asking the fan instead whether the players from the Australian sidewalk out when they are out. His reply was, “Like your players do? You are just a pathetic hypocrite.” The fan kept on with his verbal volleys but Broad just gave a mic-drop moment.
