Ashes 2017/18: 4th Test, Day 1, 5 things we learnt from the day

#3 Stuart Broad's wicketless streak goes on and on

Broad has had a torrid time since setting foot in Australia

Stuart Broad had gone 19 overs without a wicket at Adelaide, and 35 in Perth. The lanky seamer looked well out of his groove, couldn't find his rhythm or zip and sprayed around costing England way too much especially with the conditions suiting his kind of bowling. However, here at MCG, nothing changed although Broad beat the bat more times and was the most economical and threatening of bowlers.

His 14 overs before tea came with four maidens and inspite of Warner's carnage, it cost him a measly 29 runs. England quickly needed their strike bowler to find his feet before Australia ran away with the game, especially with Anderson starting to appear more and more threatening. And right after 15.1 overs, he sent back Usman Khawaja to register his first wicket in 414 balls. He almost added another next ball, when Shaun Marsh was almost leg before wicket.
