During the third Ashes Test in Leeds, fast bowler Stuart Broad got rid of Australian starter David Warner for the 16th time. Broad has now tied Malcolm Marshall’s record of getting England’s Graham Gooch out of a Test match 16 times.
During the third Ashes Test at Headingley Stadium in Leeds on Thursday, fast bowler Stuart Broad got Australian opener David Warner out for the 16th time in a Test match.
Stuart Broad created history
Broad made history again when he fired Warner. Malcolm Marshall of the West Indies, who got rid of Graham Gooch of England 16 times in Tests, had the previous record. Glenn McGrath, an Australian great, has the record for getting rid of the most batsmen in a Test match. The record is held by the right-handed fast bowler, who sent former England captain Michael Atherton back to the dugout 19 times in 34 innings.
Special record in Kapil Dev’s name
When it comes to Indian cricket, Kapil Dev has the record for getting rid of the most batsmen. Mudassar Nazar of Pakistan has been out of the game 12 times by the fast bowler and all-rounder in 24 Tests.
On the other hand, this is an embarrassing record for India’s Cheteshwar Pujara when it comes to getting Indian batters out with just one bowl. Nathan Lyon, an Australian spin bowler, has shown him the way back to the dugout 13 times in 41 innings.
Australia leads the series 2-0
Australia and England are playing the third Test at the famous ground in Leeds. England won the coin toss and chose to bowl first, which worked out well for them. In the third test, Australia got off to a bad start. The team has lost 100 runs and four wickets.
At the same time, it was Steve Smith’s 100th Test, which he did nothing special in. Even though the team already has a 2-0 series lead. This match is England’s last chance to win or lose.
