Stuart Broad's clever tactics to dismiss Marnus Labuschagne

English cricket team pacer Stuart Broad played some clever mind games with Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne that broke his concentration and ended up edging the ball to the slips for a score of 9 runs off 82 balls. The incident was captured by cameras in which Broad can be seen walking up towards Labuschagne and flipping the bails of the stumps. 

Marnus Labuschangne, who is also known for his mind games, smiled on this occasion and edged the very next ball he faced from English pacer Mark Wood to the slips. Labuschagne was left stunned after the incident whereas Stuart Broad celebrated the wicket with his captain Ben Stokes.
