ENGLAND paceman Stuart Broad has officially become Public Enemy No. 1 with Australian cricket fans issuing a $10,000 backhander to the "cheating Pom".
Ahead of the first Test starting today at the Gabba, Australian supporters have seized upon T-shirts condemning Broad for refusing to walk during the recent Ashes series in England.
Melbourne academic Googan Djerra has unveiled a range of T-shirts protesting against Broad, accompanied by the slogan: "Never forgive. Never forget."
The English quick stood his ground in the first Test in July despite replays showing he edged an Ashton Agar delivery which deflected off wicketkeeper Brad Haddin to Michael Clarke at first slip.

Djerra said Broad's actions were a clear breach of the spirit of cricket and his anti-Broad shirts have been snapped up in their hundreds by the Australian public.
"Basically, it's a protest against England and Stuart Broad being the cheating Pom that he is," Djerra said.
"He has openly admitted to cheating, he has been quoted around the globe saying he hit the ball but refused to walk.
"It's meant to be a gentleman's game and Stuart's actions were against the spirit of the game.
"On the internet I'm getting hundreds of hits a day. I actually started out with shirts protesting against Japanese whaling and now I am protesting against Stuart Broad.

"His abject cheek was so great it inspired me to want to do something.
"I am now selling them in bundles of four because the demand has been so great."
Broad is bracing for brickbats from Australian fans throughout the summer, saying recently: "You don't want the Aussies loving you because it probably means you're rubbish."
In an interview with English media last week, the 27-year-old said he had no regrets over his decision not to walk, taking aim at the actions of Australian rival Haddin.
"I'm not really bothered what people think on that side of things. There were 19 or 20 instances of England or Australia players not walking in the Ashes series," he said.

"Nobody mentions Brad Haddin not walking at the end of that match with 10 to win. So I think I was made an example of.
"I've never been a walker, 99 per cent of professional cricketers are not walkers.
"It's the umpires' decision. If Wayne Rooney (Manchester United soccer star) jumped into a two-footed tackle in a Premier League game against Liverpool and the ref gave him a yellow card, would he go, 'You know what, ref, we're one-nil down but I'm going to walk off ... come on, send me off'"
