Anderson and Broad recount 'dust-up'

Australians remember the match for Ashton Agar's spectacular debut, but on the other side of the Ashes divide, the English now have a legend of their own from the famous 2013 Test at Trent Bridge.

James Anderson and Stuart Broad have played 104 Tests together across the past decade, and as well as experiencing their successes, each has had his time in the Australian sun as an Ashes villain, due largely to the fact that both appear eager to engage in some spirited on-field discussions with their opponents.

But it was a clash between the two of them that paved the way for England's nail-biting Nottingham success in the opening Test of the 2013 Ashes – a match that Australia almost stole before falling by 14 runs in a dramatic finale.

Anderson was the hero, taking the final four wickets to fall to complete 10 for the match – his lone 10-wicket haul in 31 Tests against the Aussies – but not before his pace-bowling teammate was forced to pull him into line.

"I'd been all over the place, shouting at fielders," Anderson recalled this week in UK’s Mirror.

"'Broady' came up to me and said, 'Get your head out of your arse, mate. Stop being an absolute tool' — or words to that effect.

"He went so hard at me, I told him where to go and went back at him.

"But at the same time I took it on board and I thought, 'Hang on, if 'Broady' has come up to me like that, I must be out of order, I need to refocus'."

In the same interview, Broad said such conversations between the pair weren’t entirely uncommon.

"We've had our dust-ups," Broad said.

"Because we can both be a bit hot-headed and if one of us has had a blow-up then quite often the captain will come up to the other one and say 'Have a word'.

"At Trent Bridge, it was mid-spell. He was sweating and it took me an over to think, 'Should I really do this?' But that performance was just incredible."

As a defiant final-wicket pair of Brad Haddin and James Pattinson took the score to 9-296 and in the process threatened to pull off a remarkable heist (Australia had been 8-211 chasing 311 to win), Anderson summoned his final reserves.

Bowling to Haddin, he induced the faintest of inside edges – only confirmed by a review from captain Alastair Cook – and wicketkeeper Matthew Prior took the catch.

England won the Test, and went on to win the Ashes 3-0 – Broad and Anderson's third triumph together in succession.
