Stuart Broad dismisses David Warner
The rivalry between Australian opener David Warner and England fast bowler Stuart Broad is well-known in Test cricket. Especially on English soil, Warner is not able to run against Broad and once again the same happened in the first innings of the Leeds Test match. In this match, Warner landed for the opening with Usman Khawaja, but his bat could not run. He scored 4 runs in 5 balls with the help of a four, but on the fifth ball of the first over of the first innings, he was caught in the slips by Stuart Broad in the hands of Jack Crawley.
This was the 16th time in Test cricket when Stuart Broad made David Warner his victim. Stuart Broad has taken the wicket of David Warner the most times in the Test format and he further improved his record this time. Broad has dismissed Warner a total of 16 times in 29 Tests so far (these figures are up to the first innings of the Leeds Test of the Ashes Test series 2023).
Broad equals Malcolm Marshall
Broad has now equaled Malcolm Marshall for the most number of dismissals by a batsman in Test cricket. Malcolm Marshall dismissed England batsman Graham Gooch the most times in his Test career, 16 times. Now Broad and Marshall have jointly come at number four in terms of dismissals of a single batsman in Test cricket. Glenn McGrath holds the record for the most number of dismissals by a single batsman in Tests, having dismissed Mike Atherton 19 times in 17 matches.
