Graeme Swann reacts to Stuart Broad's post on Ollie Pope being LBW in Rajkot Test

Rajkot civic body: Former England spinner Graeme Swann has made a funny comment on his teammate Stuart Broad. Swann's comment came when Broad questioned the decision regarding the wicket of Ollie Pope in the Rajkot Test.

Actually, in the second innings of Rajkot Test, England batsman Ollie Pope was declared LBW by the third umpire. In the 30th over of England's innings, Ollie Pope completely missed a ball from Indian fast bowler Mohammad Siraj and this ball hit his stump. Here Siraj appealed strongly but the umpire gave not out. After this, captain Rohit Sharma resorted to review and then the third umpire declared Pope LBW.

Ollie Pope looked very angry with this decision of the third umpire. This is because this ball was seen going slightly above the leg stump. Just after this, former England fast bowler Stuart Broad made a post on social media. In this post he was seen calling the umpire's decision wrong.

I'm feeling great for 3 raids! https://t.co/0lCQ5k3ROK

Graeme Swann's reply came in response to this post of Broad. Swann wrote that even if you get caught out in sleep, you did not consider yourself out.

You used to cut it to slip and not think that you are out friend 😬

Swann had made this comment because Stuart Broad was caught out in the sleep in the 2013 Ashes series, here the umpire was not able to give the right decision and he gave Broad not out. Broad knew that he was out but despite this he remained at the crease.
