Bowlers who have dismissed a batsman for most times in Test cricket

Stuart Broad is in line to break Glenn Mcgrath's record of dismissing one batter most number of times in test cricket.

England’s pace bowler Stuart Broad has once again dismissed the Australian opener David Warner in a test match. In the first Ashes test at Edgbaston, Broad took away Warner’s stump for the 15th time in 27 Test matches they have taken on each other. There are instances where a bowler has dominated the opposition batter with his plan. Warner and Broad are one such pair where Broad has dominated the batter with his pace and movement targeting one line. Broad has continued his domination against Australian openers and he is in the line to create a world record of dismissing a batter the most number of times in test matches. 

Broad dismissed Warner 15th time

David Warner was the first wicket to fall on Day 2 at Edgbaston. Warner tried to drive one of Broad’s fuller-length deliveries without any footwork. Ball took an inside edge and went on to hit the stumps. Broad dismissed Warner 7 times in the previous Ashes series held in England. Out of the 10 innings Warner played, he was a walking wicket against Broad and most of them came identically. Warner was caught behind or in slips nicking Broad’s outside off-stump deliveries from round the wicket. 

Former Australian pace bowler Glenn Mcgrath holds the record for dismissing one batter the most number of times in Test Cricket. Mcgrath dismissed Former England captain Michael Atherton 19 times in the 17 tests they took on each other. Michael Atherton also struggled against Courtney Walsh and Curtly Ambrose. They both dismissed Atherton 17 times each. England’s Alec Bedser is 2nd on the list with dismissing Australian Arthur Morris 18 times in 21 tests. West Indian Malcolm Marshall is 5th as he dismissed English legend Graham Gooch 16 times in 21 games.
