Broad dismisses Australia opener David Warner again, equals Marshall’s record

LONDON: England pacer Stuart Broad dismissed Australia opener David Warner for the 16th time in Test matches during the third Ashes Test at Headingley in Leeds on Thursday.

Broad equalled Malcolm Marshall of West Indies, who dismissed England’s Graham Gooch 16 times in Tests. Austalian great Glenn McGrath holds the record for dismissing a batter the most number of times in Tests. The right-arm pacer has got the better of former England captain Michael Atherton on 19 occasions in 34 Test innings.

Amongst Indians, Kapil Dev has dismissed a batter on most occasions. The fast-bowling all-rounder has dismissed Pakistan’s Mudassar Nazar 12 times in just 24 innings. When it comes to an Indian batter being a bunny of a bowler, Cheteshwar Pujara holds an unenviable record. He has been outdone by Australian spinner Nathan Lyon 13 times in 41 innings. Agencies
