Stuart Broad edged a delivery from Ashton Agar during the Trent Bridge Test match of the 2013 Ashes series. The ball deflected off Brad Haddin’s gloves and directly into the hands of first-slip fielder Michael Clarke. However, Broad showed no inclination to walk off the field.

Earlier this year, Stuart Broad defended his decision not to walk off the field after edging a delivery. Broad emphasized his focus on contributing to the team’s runs, considering the match situation and the potential impact on the game’s outcome.

“I wouldn’t change it for anything. I was thinking, ‘We need more runs here, we’re 230 ahead. If I get out, we lose the game.’ So I’m never just going to walk off and accept a loss. I looked up at Aleem and he said not out.”
