Stuart Broad Faces Flak On Twitter For "That's All You'll Be Remembered For" Taunt At Alex Carey

The second Ashes Test between England and Australia has become the talk of the town due to the bizarre dismissal of Jonny Bairstow by wicketkeeper Alex Carey. During the 52nd over on Day 5, Bairstow wandered out of the crease, thinking the ball was dead. Carey took advantage of the situation and threw the ball onto the stumps. After Bairstow was declared out by the third umpire, English pacer Stuart Broad came to bat and criticised Carey for not keeping up the "spirit of the game". However, the netizens did not take Broad's words lightly and called him a hypocrite by reminding him of the 2013 Ashes series.
