Broad grabs 500th wicket as England beats Windies
Print Edition
Stuart Broad grabbed his 500th test wicket to set England on its way to a resounding 269-run win over West Indies in the third and final test at Old Trafford, Manchester, yesterday.
Broad joined an elite club, finishing with match figures of 10-67, as the West Indies were bowled out for 129 runs in between several rain delays. England won the first test series since the COVID-19 pandemic 2-1 and will almost immediately go into another three-match test series against Pakistan, starting next week. West Indies were 10-2 — both wickets to Broad — at close on Sunday after being set an improbable 399 to win. Monday’s play was washed out but Broad did not take long to continue his heroics yesterday as he trapped Kraigg Brathwaite leg before wicket for 19 in his 140th test. “It was very special to have got (500 wickets) and even more so to help win a test that helps to win the series for us,” Broad said. The 34-year-old Broad had taken the last four wickets of West Indies’ first innings and the first three of their second innings in a dominant performance capped by reaching the 500-wicket milestone — only the 7th test cricketer and second Englishman after teammate James Anderson — to do so. The list of top test wicket takers is headed by Muttiah Muralitharan with 800, followed by fellow spinners Shane Warne (708) and Anil Kumble (619). Anderson is 11 away from 600, followed by Glenn McGrath (563) and Courtney Walsh (519).
