He is branded as ‘’Stuart Fraud’’.

The baby face Broad was public enemy No 1 at the Gabba Test. Whatever he does will be under focus from Australian fans.

David Warner has warned Broad not to get upset by Australian banter from the stands.

Broad was labelled a cheat after standing his ground despite smashing a ball to slip in the Ashes Test at TrentBridge in July. He was also engaged in time wasting tactics to slow an Australian batting onslaught.

The Courier-Mail implemented a ‘Broad Ban’ during this Test.
