The social media platform Twitter exploded with a flurry of comical memes as Stuart Broad struck gold once again, dismissing David Warner for the 16th time in Tests during the opening over of the thrilling third Ashes match. Broad’s remarkable feat catapulted him into the annals of cricketing history, joining the ranks of bowlers who have incessantly troubled a particular batsman.
Warner falls to Broad again
Operating from his favored around-the-wicket angle, Broad rekindled memories of the 2019 Ashes, where he firmly established himself as Warner’s tormentor. The left-handed opener’s feeble attempt to fend off the incoming delivery resulted in a faint edge, which was gleefully pouched by Zack Crawley at second slip. It was a moment of pure brilliance, setting Twitter ablaze with hilarious memes and showcasing the uncanny inevitability of Warner’s dismissal at Broad’s hands.Â
In the 2019 Ashes series, Broad had previously showcased his dominance over Warner, claiming his wicket on seven occasions out of ten innings. The Australian southpaw endured a torrid time, managing a mere 95 runs at a paltry average of 9.5 throughout the series. Warner now finds himself in illustrious company, joining the esteemed ranks of England great Graham Gooch, who suffered the same fate 16 times at the hands of the legendary West Indies seamer, Malcolm Marshall.Â
However, it is former England batter Michael Atherton who features prominently in this list, holding the top spot and two third positions with dismissals against Glenn McGrath (19 times), Sir Curtly Ambrose (17 times), and Courtney Walsh (17 times). Warner’s ongoing struggles against Broad have solidified his status as the Englishman’s “bunny,” sparking a mix of amusement and marvel among fans worldwide.

Cricket enthusiasts eagerly await each encounter between the two adversaries, bracing themselves for the next episode in this enthralling battle of skill and persistence.
With Twitter bursting with laughter and creativity, fans are basking in the humorous side of cricket, cherishing the camaraderie it brings and relishing the inevitable banter that ensues. Stuart Broad’s ongoing success against David Warner serves as a reminder of the enthralling unpredictability that lies at the heart of the game, capturing the imaginations of fans and igniting the spirit of friendly competition.
