Over the years, there have been numerous pitched skirmishes during The Ashes. The contest between English pacer Stuart Broad and Australian batsman David Warner is one of the very few. It is safe to say that Broad has controlled the proceedings when the two players have faced off against each other.
In Test cricket, the English bowler consistently has success removing David Warner from the game. Notably, Broad has removed Warner from the game 17 times in the longest format, the most of any bowler currently playing in the game against a batsman.
Fans are eagerly awaiting to see if Broad can once again make an impact and remove Warner from the match, or if the Australian opener will respond. The fourth Ashes Test will take place in Manchester. Broad recently spoke up about how he has been able to outperform Warner in Test cricket over the years after reflecting on the same.
To be honest, I’ve never found it easy to bowl for Davey. Stuart Broad
“To tell you the truth, I still have a hard time bowling to Davey. In his Daily Mail column, Broad stated, “I’ve tried to minimize the width he loves outside off stump by moving across the wicket while simultaneously bowling a fuller length and forcing him to play at 80 to 85% of deliveries.
Before the 2015 Ashes, our bowling coach Ottis Gibson pointed out that my average was much higher against left-handers; the Australian team that season was full of lefties, and Ottis said I’d be out of the team if I didn’t find a way to bowl to them. He continued, “He used to sit back against me and hit me through the side.
After dropping the first two Tests of the prestigious series, England made an incredible comeback in the Ashes 2023, winning the last match at Headingley with a magnificent victory under the leadership of Ben Stokes. The fourth Test is scheduled to start on July 19 at Old Trafford, and England will be eager to pick up another victory to even the score.
