Ashes 2013: Brisbane Courier Mail 'Bans' Stuart Broad

Aussie Outrage! Brisbane Courier 'Bans' Stuart Broad

Ashes fever is gripping Australia, and the Brisbane Courier Mail is still not ready to forgive Stuart Broad for failing to walk in the summer's Trent Bridge Test.

England bowler Broad, you might remember, blatantly edged one to Michael Clarke from an Ashton Agar delivery but stood his ground. Astonishingly, umpire Aleem Dar didn't give him out and Broad went on to make 65 as England won the opening Test.

So the Courier Mail have banned his name from appearing in their publication, apart from the name "Broad" appearing on their front page.

There are also four mentions (at the time of writing) of Broad's name on the Broad-free zone website.

Aussie outrage at supposed cheating is kinda ironic when you consider what the Chappell brothers did against New Zealand in 1981.
