Stuart Broad still stands by his decision not to walk in the opening Ashes Test at Trent Bridge and believes the whole incident got blown out of proportion.
Broad stands by not walking
The controversial moment came when the English fast bowler stayed at the crease, despite knowing he had edged the ball off spinner Ashton Agar to Australian captain Michael Clarke at slip.
Australia had already used their two reviews, meaning the not out decision by umpire Aleem Dar also stood.
Broad went on to record a 138-run partnership with Ian Bell and take a 1-0 lead in Nottingham.
QUICK SINGLE: Meet the tourists
“My first comment on that whole incident is I could name you 18 or 19 players who played in an Ashes series who nicked it and didn't walk,” Broad told the BBC on Monday
“We could be here all day if I named players from the past. I am trying to think of someone in the modern game who is consistently a walker.
“It's a really interesting debate and something that got blown so out of proportion maybe because the Australians were frustrated they had wasted two referrals.
“It was an important moment in the game because, let's be honest, if Belly and I hadn't put on those runs, we wouldn't have won the Test match so we would only have won 3-1 or something.”
Broad admitted ahead of the fifth Ashes Test that he knew he was out and debate again raged over the whether players should walk or not.
Australian coach Darren Lehmann was charged and fined $3000 for breaching the International Cricket Council's code of conduct, after accusing Broad of "blatant cheating" in a radio interview.
Broad recounted his conversation with Lehmann in the dressing rooms at the Oval after the conclusion of the series.
“Ryan Harris came over to me and apologised," Broad said. "First of all he said from the players we have given him [Lehmann] a hard time and his comments were unacceptable.
"Then he [Lehmann] came across and said: I meant it in jest. I said that in black and white it doesn't look like jest to me. He said something along the lines of, listen to the interview, and I said, I have far better things to do with my time, and that was about it. We shared a nice beer and I said, 'See you in November'.”
The first Test starts on November 21 in Brisbane. Tickets are still available here.
