Stuart Broad admitted that his “addiction” to Test cricket has seen him hit 600 wickets, a prestigious milestone he enjoyed even more after reaching it in the final named after teammate James Anderson.
The two are great friends, longtime bowling opening partners and now the only non-spinner players to have reached the milestone, which has only been reached by three other people in history.
Broad’s moment came just after tea on the first day of the fourth Ashes test at Emirates Old Trafford, when Travis Head recklessly hooked a bumper and Joe Root gobbled up a low catch deep.
