England has decided to employ extra security Down Under in this winter's Ashes series to protect Stuart Broad after Australian coach Darren Lehmann urged on fans to take revenge for his 'blatant cheating' during the Ashes series.

According to the Mirror, coach Flower was less than impressed with Lehmann's interview on an Aussie radio station, and is worried that the incitement could lead to problems for Broad and other players this winter.

He said that there would probably be extra security for everyone in light of Lehmann's comments including Broad.

The coach said that whenever they have been to Australia, the experience has been usually nice and he expects it to be the same this time too, adding that the comments were something the team was taking very seriously.
