Speaking earlier this week Broad referred back to the Trent Bridge incident, admitting he knew he had nicked Ashton Agar's delivery but Broad claimed his failure to walk was not as clear-cut as it had been portrayed. "It was an odd one. There was no particular noise because of the noise of Haddin's gloves," he said. "It's a bit silly when people say it was nicked to slip because actually it was edged to the keeper's gloves and flew off the gloves to slip. "I went down to the other end and Ian Bell was like 'what happened there, I didn't hear anything?' Agar came up to me and asked if I'd nicked it because he wasn't sure. "So it wasn't as clear cut as everyone had thought, although I knew I'd hit it."
