Beyond the numbers
604 Test wickets at a bowling average of 27.68
Broad's Test record stands as one of the most substantial in England's history. Across 166 Test appearances, he conceded runs at an economy of just 2.98 per over, a figure that underlines his control across formats and conditions.
Lord's is his standout ground
In 34 matches at Lord's, Broad has taken 130 wickets and scored 990 runs at a batting average of 24.15. His economy at the ground sits at 3.27, making it by some distance the venue where his overall numbers are strongest.
189 wickets against Australia across 56 matches
No opponent has faced Broad more often, and few have been hurt by him more consistently. His 189 wickets against Australia at an economy of 3.53 represent his highest wicket tally against any single side.
Five-wicket hauls a feature of his final Test season
In his last 10 recorded matches, Broad took five or more wickets in an innings on five separate occasions. That includes a 7/86 against South Africa at The Oval in September 2022 and 6/132 against Australia at Edgbaston in June 2023.
100 wickets against India at an economy of 3.49
Broad's returns against India across 33 matches include exactly 100 wickets, with a bowling average of 18.35 with the bat in those games. Pakistan (103 wickets in 25 matches) and South Africa (121 in 31) also feature heavily in his career tally.
