England speedster Stuart Broad completed 12 years in Test cricket on Monday. Broad had made his debut in 2007 against Sri Lanka in the 2nd Test of the three-match Test series in Colombo. Since then, he has been the spearhead of England's bowling attack in all forms of the game. The right-arm pacer has grabbed 471 wickets from 134 Tests at an average of 28.77 with 17 fifers and two 10-wicket hauls. ICC took to Twitter to congratulate Broad on completing 12 years in Tests posting a picture of the speedster and captioned it "Can you believe @StuartBroad8 made his Test debut #OnThisDay 12 years ago. There have been some memorable spells along the way, which has been your favourite?"

It was only the second instance of six sixes being hit in an over in international cricket after South African Herschelle Gibbs had done it in the 2007 50-over World Cup. Let us look at how netizens trolled ICC.
