Australian paper backtracks on Broad ban?

Australian newspaper the Brisbane Courier-Mail appears to have backtracked on it decision to ban Stuart Broad's name from their publication during the Ashes series.

The newspaper ran a story on the front page on Wednesday claiming that they would not use the England bowler's name in their reports of the first Test in a bid to "mess with his head".

However, an online report of the opening day in Brisbane, where Broad took five wickets as Australia closed on 273-8, named the England star.

Broad has been subjected to criticism from the Australian press and the fans since he failed to walk during the Ashes series in the summer.
