“Stuart didn’t appreciate my gesture after being hit for six sixes by Yuvraj Singh,” Chris Broad told Telegraph.co.uk.“I asked Yuvraj to sign an Indian shirt and gave it to him for Christmas. Apparently he opened the gift, saw it and threw it in the trash.“I think he had a bit of a breakdown in his sense of humor after that.”Chris Broad also explained how Stuart tried to threaten legal action when he was fined for swearing – by his own father.“We played him the recording,” Chris said. “He was hook, line and sinker – no doubt about it. But Stuart was like, ‘No, no, no, I’m going to get my lawyers involved. This is ridiculous.’ I said, ‘Come on, stop it. Just sign the slip, it’s only 15 percent of your match fee.

“‘No, no, I’m not going to do it. No, no.’ He thought that because it was me, I could change him – because I was his father, not his referee. But no.“Eventually he accepted it, but thank God he keeps talking about it. He’ll get over it…eventually.”
