Stuart Broad's dad reprimanded by cricket chiefs for tweet mocking David Warner

Chris Broad has been rebuked by the International Cricket Council after posting a meme which mocked Australia batter David Warner.

Broad, who is the father of England bowler Stuart Broad, works as a match official for the ICC. He tweeted a meme which depicted Warner as Bart Simpson writing the line “Stuart Broad has got me out again” over and over on a blackboard in detention.

The post came after his son dismissed Warner for the 17th time in Test cricket by having him caught in the slips on day two of the third Ashes Test match at Headingley. Warner has struggled massively against Broad’s angle from around the wicket and has now been dismissed by him in three of his five innings in the series.
