Stuart Broad perfectly predicted Ashes moment with confident Marnus Labuschagne vow

England star Stuart Broad had Edgbaston rocking on day two of the first Ashes Test when he dismissed nemesis David Warner and number one ranked batter Marnus Labuschagne in consecutive deliveries.

Much of the pre-series talk had focused on Broad renewing his battle with Warner, having got him out seven times in ten innings in the 2019 Ashes as the Aussie opener averaged a paltry 9.50. However, Broad was busy ahead of this series working on a new delivery designed to target Labuschagne and Steve Smith in particular.

The 36-year-old developed a new out swinger while working with Nottinghamshire's assistant coach Kevin Shine, who was previously the ECB's lead fast bowling coach. Broad tested it out in the County Championship and warned Australia about his new variation back in April.
