Stuart Broad recently announced retirement from all formats of international cricket and county cricket. The right-arm fast bowler ended his career in a dreamy way by scalping the last two wickets of Ashes 2023 and helping England avoid a series defeat on home soil against the Aussies.
Broad finished with more than 600 Test wickets to his name. He also achieved a lot of success in the other two formats. During his international career, Broad troubled many world-class batters. He dismissed the following seven names more than 10 times.
7. Hashim Amla got out to Stuart Broad 12 times
Regarded by many as one of the consistent batters of all time, Hashim Amla lost his wicket to Broad 12 times across all three formats. He is one of the two Proteas players on this list.
6. AB de Villiers got out to Stuart Broad 12 times
Mr. 360 AB de Villiers has owned almost every bowling attack in the world. However, he lost his wicket to Broad a total of 12 times when they came head-to-head.
5. Michael Clarke got out to Stuart Broad 12 times
Australia’s 2015 World Cup winning captain Michael Clarke also struggled a bit against Broad’s pace. He got out to him 12 times during his international career.
4. Shane Watson got out to Stuart Broad 13 times
Shane Watson lost his wicket to Broad 13 times. The Australian all-rounder had a great record in international cricket, but Broad had his number.
3. Steve Smith – 14 times
Current Australian vice-captain Steve Smith has played a lot of cricket against England. Broad dismissed him 14 times, which could have been more had Broad played the next Ashes.
2. Ross Taylor – 15 times
Ross Taylor owns the record for losing the wicket most times to Broad by a right-handed batter as well as a non-Australian. During his career, Taylor got out to Broad 15 times.
1. David Warner – 20 times
