AUS vs ENG: Stuart Broad – only the 5th bowler to have 600 Test wickets
England pacer Stuart Broad made his Test debut against Sri Lanka in December 2007 and since then he didn’t look back. He’s arguably one of the best pacers that have played the longest format of the game and even in his late 30s he’s running like a horse and picking wickets for fun.
Broad achieved a rare feat in Test cricket as he became just the 5th bowler in the history of the longest format of the game to complete 600 wickets. The lanky pacer achieved the feat in the 4th Test of the Ashes 2023 at Old Trafford in Manchester.
Not only this but Broad also surpassed Ian Botham to become England’s leading wicket-taker against Australia in Tests. He became the first bowler from his country to take 150 wickets in the Ashes.
