The England management has been chastised since the end of the first Test for leaving experienced pacers James Anderson and Stuart Broad out of the match. Broad, who has 149 Test appearances for England, wrote in his Daily Mail column about an “awkward” incident that occurred immediately before the toss.

Former Australia fast bowler Glenn McGrath shook Broad’s hand and congratulated him on his 150th Test match, according to Broad. Broad responded by telling McGrath that he was not in the starting eleven. He called it an “awkward moment,” one that elicited an embarrassed smile and a chuckle from him.

“Despite my despair, I saw the lighter side of things when Glenn McGrath came me seconds before the toss and shook my hand between high catches I was practicing in the outfield.” ‘Congratulations on 150, mate, it’s a fantastic effort,’ he said. ‘Have a great game,’ he added. I thanked him but had to inform him that I was unable to attend.

“An awkward moment that elicited an embarrassed smile and a chuckle,” Stuart Broad wrote in his Sunday column for The Daily Mail. The 35-year-old expressed his disappointment at being left out of the starting XI. “Of course, I was unhappy not to be able to participate, but I also understand that this is a marathon, not a sprint.”

Five Test matches have never been packed together like this, and it will be tiring, therefore I doubt any seamer will play all five. It would be inappropriate to make a fuss in this situation. On the other hand, I enjoy Ashes cricket and bowling at the Gabba, and I believe I might have had a positive impact on such a wicket,” he continued. The Adelaide Oval will host the second of the five Tests, which will begin on December 16.
