Lack of fury over fate of Broad and Anderson should have ECB worried | Ali Martin

Two England greats may have been exiled, but how can people care when their careers have taken place behind paywalls?

The Ashes aftershocks have rumbled on over the past week, and on Tuesday peaked with the news that neither Jimmy Anderson nor Stuart Broad will feature when the so-called “red-ball reset” begins in the Caribbean next month.

Both are known to be hurt to miss out and a touch miffed at being told in a couple of short, sharp phone calls rather than in person. Broad was literally raging against the machine in his final outing – picking a fight with a robot camera that kept moving on the boundary’s edge in Hobart – and his latest newspaper column continues the theme.
