On the back of the "Which cricketers have obtained a new highest score the most times?" thread, I was wondering about the equivalent question for bowlers - namely, what is the record for the amount of times a bowler has improved their best innings bowling figures. My immediate thought is that it would be someone like Stuart Broad, who started off as a very ordinary test bowler but continually improved over their career (though he's now unlikely to improve his best figures again). I may have completely failed to think of someone very obvious, though, so please do post your suggestions.
I calculate Broad to have improved his best figures 11 times (counting his first bowling innings as an 'improvement').
