Stuart Broad determined to deliver riposte to his critics

  • The fourth Ashes Test between England and Australia starts on Boxing Day 
  • England have already lost the series after suffering defeat in the first three Tests
  • Stuart Broad has been criticised after taking just five wickets in the series so far

Stuart Broad is determined to prove his critics wrong if he is selected for the fourth Test.

The paceman came under fire after taking only five wickets in the first three Tests, prompting former captain Michael Vaughan to suggest that he should be left out.

‘I don’t think there’s anything new about fast bowlers attacking tailenders,’ he said. 

The fourth Test begins on Boxing Day with the tourists having already surrendered the urn after suffering defeat in the first three.
