According to News.com.au, Broad was dismissed lbw and forced to hospital to have his foot inspected by the Mitchell Johnson yorker, potentially ending his series and England's chances of an Ashes revival.
Even in the most vulnerable state, there was no room for sympathy, the report said.
People are wondering what will happen if Broad is ruled out for the rest of the series, as if 6-0 is suddenly a possibility, the report added.
