'Angoor khatte hain'- Twitter furious with Stuart Broad after he refers 4-0 Ashes 2021-22 loss as 'void' series

Stuart Broad

Stuart Broad, the English pacer, has recently stated that the 2021-22 Ashes series in Australia was a void series, and he does not consider it a real Ashes victory for the home side. Broad argued that Covid-19 restrictions affected the high-level performance of the players, and the definition of Ashes cricket was lost during the previous edition. Broad highlighted that the training facilities, travel restrictions, and the inability to socialize during the tour affected the players' passion and top-level game.

Several English players had complained about the conditions and overall arrangements in Australia during the Ashes tour, and the tour was marred with controversies. The quarantine conditions and wet weather spoiled the English team's preparations for the matches. Some English players had even threatened to withdraw from the tour if their families were not given an exemption from entering the country.

Looking ahead to the 2023 Ashes series to be played in England, Broad challenged the Aussies to match the English side's bazball approach. Broad believes that if the Australians try to take on the English side in their own game, they could make mistakes and that would benefit England. Broad singled out Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, and Usman Khawaja as players who like to bat time and accumulate runs. He hopes that by nibbling away at them, they might be forced to think about scoring quicker, which could lead to mistakes on their part.

Stuart Broad's "void" comment on the 2021-22 Ashes series has generated significant interest among cricket fans worldwide. His statement reflects the frustration felt by the English players during the tour, as they felt that the Covid-19 restrictions had robbed the series of its true spirit. With the 2023 Ashes series set to begin in June, the challenge is now on for both teams to produce an enthralling contest that lives up to the high standards of Ashes cricket.

Here's how Twitter reacted to Stuart Broad's comments on Ashes 2022:

No excuse can cover up that merciless drubbing in Australia. They are much better than losing 4-0. Their batting was completely bullied by Aussie pacers, especially debutant Scott Boland (6/7 at MCG).

Losers only give excuses for their loss.
Had they won he would have been the one to claim as the greatest ashes series down under.
