Sharing the video of his dismissal, Barmy Army wrote Broad with another Australian batsman in his back pocket. David Warner was quick to hit back at the England cricket team's fan club reminding of the country's Euro 2020 final loss to Italy on Monday. After regulation and extra time ended with 1-1 scoreline, Italy defeated England 3-2 on penalties to clinch the Euro 2020 title. Here's what Warner had to say to the Barmy Army tweet

However, the Barmy Army did not stop there as they went after David Warner with a tweet in which Stuart Broad can be seen celebrating Warner's wicket. The tweet directed towards Warner was a reminder of his poor outing during the Ashes series in 2019. In that series, Broad made Warner his bunny dismissing the lefthander seven times during the series. Warner could only score 95 runs in 10 innings. Australia had managed to retain the Ashes last time around by drawing the series and will be aiming to retain the trophy by defeating England at home this year. Warner who had a poor series in England will be hoping to put up a better performance for the team on their home condition.
