Stuart Broad saved his best trick for (second) last as he claimed the final two wickets of England’s victory in the fifth Ashes Test in the final match of his career. With Alex Carey and Todd Murphy combining to frustrate England with a 35-run ninth-wicket partnership late on the final day at The Oval, Broad pulled a trick out of his bag that we’d seen just days before.
Just like he did when he appeared to break Marnus Labuschagne’s concentration in the first innings, Broad decided to take off the bails at the non-striker’s end and switch them around. The veteran bowler had beaten Murphy’s outside edge on a number of occassions and decided to try the bail trick in an attempt to change his luck.
