England bowler Stuart Broad was told to "get on with the batting and shut up" by umpire Richard Kettleborough during the rescheduled fifth Test against India.
Broad spent just five balls at the crease in England's first innings, but it was certainly eventful as he faced a few bouncers and attempted to slog some boundaries. And after he was on the receiving end of a mean short ball from Jasprit Bumrah, Broad could be seen remonstrating with the umpire.
However, Kettleborough quickly shut down Broad's complaints, with his comments getting picked up by the stump mic. "Let us do the umpiring - you do the batting, alright?" Kettleborough said.
"Otherwise you're going to get into trouble again. One for the over. Broady! Broady! Get on with the batting and shut up."
Former England batting coach Mark Ramprakash joked that Kettleborough was "brave", before pointing out that he has a "very good relationship" with Broad. "I think that's some blunt, honest feedback from Richard Kettleborough there, some good advice," he told the BBC.
"Although, Stuart Broad is a big fella [at] 6ft 5in. I think Richard Kettleborough is a very brave guy.
"I don't think umpires should try that in club cricket around the UK. They've got a very good relationship and that's why he can talk like that."
It comes after Broad was found guilty of breaching the ICC's Code of Conduct during the third Test against New Zealand earlier this month.
On that occasion, Broad was hit with an official reprimand for throwing the ball at Daryl Mitchell "in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner".
