Some players are known for being over-expressive on the field, and for that, sometimes they suffer consequences when things go south. Stuart Broad is one such individual, as he often does celebrappeal, which barely eventually turns out right, albeit on Thursday at the Lord’s it was not the case.

England required a perfect start on Day 2 of the second Ashes Test at Lord’s after Australia’s dominance on Day 1, having reached 339/5 at stumps. Stuart Broad stepped up to give them an ideal start, as he dismissed Alex Carey in the second over of the day. However, it was not a straightforward dismissal, despite the fact that Broad did a celebrappeal – something which he frequently does – immediately after the ball hit Carey’s back leg. But on-field umpire Ahsan Raza did not raise his finger, assuming the ball would have gone over the stumps.

While coming to Broad whether they should challenge the decision or not, Stokes had the same doubt in his mind. However, Broad convinced him to send it upstairs, and the replay showed it was a wobble seam from the Englishman which jagged back into Carey before hitting his back leg. Further, replay showed the ball would have clipped the top of the leg stump, and thus, three reds were on the big screen.

A massive cheer came from the Lord’s crowd when the decision was overturned, and Broad, as well as other English players, leaped in joy to get the prized wicket so early. Even the Twitterati could not believe what just happened, as Broad, who does not have the reputation of being someone who can be trustworthy while taking DRS, has done one right.
