Later during the drinks break Broad spoke to the broadcaster and as per the video shared by cricket.com.au on Twitter, the veteran pacer said “It is a nice show of support, the headband actually. I am really pleased with that. It is more friendly up close, it's a bit more annoying when it's 80 meters away, but he looks like a friendly guy from here”.
