Cricket Confidential: Stuart Broad's sore foot draws little sympathy from public Stuart Broad exchanges words with Brad Haddin on day two of the WACA Test. CRICKET Confidential takes a different view of the third day of the third Ashes Test in Perth, as Australia put one hand on the Ashes urn. After a summer of hostility, finally the ultimate test. How would the public respond to Stuart Broad when he was bowed and probably broken by a nasty Mitchell Johnson yorker that struck him on the foot? Broad was dismissed lbw and forced to hospital to have his foot inspected by the Johnson yorker, potentially ending his series and England's chances of an Ashes revival. But even in the most vulnerable state we've ever seen the ultra competitor there was no room for sympathy. A poll run on News Corp Australia websites in the hours following Broad's trip to hospital asked whether or not Broad would be missed for the reaminder of the series if his injury kept him sidelined. The verdict? Almost 60 per cent of respondents showed no mercy, voting that Broad would not be missed. It just goes to show you should never nick it to slip and stand your ground.
