BBC Sport<\/a>. <\/p>\n\u201cNot necessarily my opinion over the dismissal – it was walking over that line and feeling the energy of Lord\u2019s.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomething triggered inside me that anyone in a green hat was getting it. The ultra-competitive side of me rose. <\/p>\n
\u201cAfter about 20 minutes I started working with Stokesy and quite deliberately twisted the situation our way. <\/p>\n
\u201cHow I was behaving maybe took the Australians off their plan to Stokesy, so we looked to carry that on.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember getting home, sitting with my partner Mollie and we were watching a compilation BBC Sport had put together of the nonsense I\u2019d done. <\/p>\n
\u201cI was filled with embarrassment. \u2018Oh my goodness me. What on earth was I doing?\u2019 <\/p>\n
\u201cI was 36 years old. How did I let myself get to that stage?\u201d<\/p>\n
Broad hung around as Stokes went ballistic, the pair putting on 108 despite the former only contributing 11.<\/p>\n
Stokes meanwhile smashed 155, including nine fours and nine sixes, but was unable to get England over the line as he did at Headingley in 2019.<\/p>\n
Australia won by 43 runs, and took a 2-0 lead in the series, and Broad admits that the hysteria of that fifth day took the spotlight away from England\u2019s underwhelming performances to start the series.<\/p>\n
Stokes infamously declared late on day one of the first Test at Edgbaston with two wickets in hand and Joe Root flying, unbeaten on 118.<\/p>\n
Australia went on to win that match by two wickets courtesy of Cummins and Nathan Lyon\u2019s last innings heroics with the bat.<\/p>\n
Then at Lords, they threw away a first innings position of strength, losing nine wickets for 137 runs to Australia\u2019s short ball trap after off spinner Nathan Lyon left the field with a calf injury.<\/p>\n

Even on that final day, England needed 70 to win with four wickets in hand prior to Stokes falling. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf an incident hadn\u2019t happened that day there would have been the narrative of \u2018England have thrown this away\u2019, because we had situations where we put ourselves on the back foot,\u201d Broad said.<\/p>\n
England, of course, turned things around with wins at Headingley and The Oval, while the rain in Manchester ensured Australia retained the urn.<\/p>\n
Broad got his fairytale farewell on the final day at The Oval, taking the last two wickets as England won by 49 runs to square the series.<\/p>\n
He dismissed Carey, caught behind, to claim the 153rd Australian scalp of his career, no England bowler has taken more Ashes wickets than Broad.<\/p>\n

No fast bowler from either has played more than the 40 Ashes Tests Broad donned English whites in.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like extremely lucky it ended the way it did,\u201d Broad told BBC Sport. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy last ever professional ball, taking that favourite wicket you could ever take – last wicket to win a Test, against Australia, crowd going berserk.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll never get bored of talking about it because it takes me back to a feeling and a moment that was so special.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Australian Ashes nemesis Stuart Broad revealed that he is \u201cfilled with embarrassment\u201d by his actions in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":228449,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[18761,1724,64,63,689,46733,138040,138039,138031,2129,2090,5340,17057,740,1208,138032,2057,24163,16271,3471,138033,17071,2105,1209,138041,138034,17066,138030,2022,43815,3453,29547,3583,677,138036,1948,138038,137956,137951,24123,17069,12540,85,131013,3586,135989,138037,138035],"class_list":{"0":"post-228448","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-alex-carey","9":"tag-asia","10":"tag-au","11":"tag-australia","12":"tag-australia-and-new-zealand","13":"tag-australian-captain","14":"tag-australian-scalp","15":"tag-australian-wicketkeeper","16":"tag-ball-trap","17":"tag-ben-stokes","18":"tag-british-broadcasting-corporation","19":"tag-calf-injury","20":"tag-city-of-manchester","21":"tag-cricket","22":"tag-england","23":"tag-england-batter","24":"tag-europe","25":"tag-fast-bowler","26":"tag-final-day","27":"tag-final-match","28":"tag-final-wicket","29":"tag-gareth-copley","30":"tag-getty-images-inc","31":"tag-india","32":"tag-innings-heroics","33":"tag-innings-position","34":"tag-joe-root","35":"tag-jonny-bairstow","36":"tag-london","37":"tag-marylebone-cricket-club","38":"tag-mitch-marsh","39":"tag-nathan-lyon","40":"tag-northern-europe","41":"tag-oceania","42":"tag-pair-putting","43":"tag-pat-cummins","44":"tag-post-bairstow-stumping-antics","45":"tag-ramp-failcricket","46":"tag-ramp-shot","47":"tag-ryan-pierse","48":"tag-sam-konstas","49":"tag-southern-asia","50":"tag-sports","51":"tag-stuart-broad","52":"tag-united-kingdom","53":"tag-watch-aus-v-india-odi-series-live","54":"tag-wickets-courtesy","55":"tag-win-rain"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228448\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
