Ashes 2023: Stuart Broad creates history by taking 600 wickets, joins Muralitharan and Anderson’s elite club
[ad_1]
Broad achieved his 600th Test wicket in the third session when he had Head caught by Joe Root at the boundary. Former England captain Michael Atherton said on-air, ‘Broad has now joined his great colleague in that exclusive club where there are only three spinners and two seamers. It doesn’t matter what kind of bowler you are, to get so many wickets is amazing.
Broad made his Test debut for England against Sri Lanka in Colombo in 2007, with Chaminda Vaas his first wicket in this format. So far he has played 166 Test matches and has been a member of four Ashes winning teams. Atherton said, ‘Despite the stress and pressure to do this as a fast bowler is quite unbelievable. A very special wicket, one that Broad will remember for a long time. Even after all the wickets he has taken, he has been brilliant.
Broad’s 600 wickets have come at an average of 27.57 and include 20 five-wicket hauls and three 10-wicket hauls. He has taken the most wickets (149) in 39 matches against Australia and has left behind Ian Botham’s 148 wickets. Of those 149 wickets against Australia, Broad has dismissed Australia’s veteran left-handed opener David Warner 17 times, against whom the pacer has consistently been on top, including in the current Ashes.
