adminBRISBANE. – Having been disarmed by the charm of Kevin Pietersen in the press conference, Brisbane’s Courier Mail tabloid has turned its attentions to the man it has labelled “Stuart Fraud”.In a desperate attempt to undermine the bowler who destroyed Australia during the fourth Test at Chester-le-Street in August with match figures of 11 for 121, the paper declared: “He doesn’t walk, but he sure talks a good game. Yet lift the covers and you’ll find Stuart Fraud.”
In an leaked image of yesterday’s Courier Mail, the newspaper has a picture of Broad on the front page with a large red circle and the words “Broad Ban”.
The Courier Mail has also promised not to mention Broad’s name in their reports, which may be a bit difficult when the England fast bowler tears through the Australian batting line-up.
The claim “Stuart Fraud” is based on the fact that Broad’s Test bowling average is better in England than it is abroad.
“Australia plan to turn the screws on Stuart Broad, as statistics show the quick has the worst record of England’s current bowlers on foreign soil,” said the article.
Broad has taken 142 wickets in England at an average of 26.62, and 75 at 38.09 overseas.
“The Australians know there are two versions of Broad,” insisted the Courier Mail. – Mailonline.
