Stuart Broad vs Neil Wagner

[Everton Seymour]

As much as I love Broady it is a stretch to say he played a big part in winning in Australia

Yes my bad I was supposed to say South Africa and against Australia in England

Poor Stuart Broad, stuck with 2 world records that may hang around for a very long time.
And to think that 2nd record he was owned by a number 10, he must feel so ashamed deep down.

Far worse... that number 10 was only batting 10 because the guy after him is basically a #22. That number 10 is really more a #14.

I doubt he'd give them a single thought tbh.

Are you suggesting he is incapable of things such as thoughts?

Stuart Broad has a Test Match 150, about a million wickets, and he’s a handsome bastard to boot. Down with the haters

When Broad gets on a roll, it's really compelling cricket to watch. On song, he can be unplayable.

Consistency wise and with his ability to snag wickets on dead decks, Wagner is something else.

Personally, I feel these two players would complement each other really well but have played completely different roles in their careers. Like comparing an opener with a middle order bat.

To be fair, I do realize he comes across well as a commentator and seems to be friends with Ashwin somehow, lol. I just dont like the way he carries on mostly and I understand its just bias.

I would be shitte scared to face Wagner bowling in a park cricket match

Sorry but Wagner wins in the looks department.
Looks like he is going to play for Yorkshire next season.

Has Wagner ever matched this?

Wagner hasn't matched this

or this either

Has Wagner ever matched this?

He once took 5 wickets in an over in 1st class cricket. Has Broad ever matched that?

As you can see, he can actually pitch the ball up if he wants!

The thread title includes the word "Tests". Neither of the last two posts are referring to Tests.

Broad has only taken 19 5-fers in 159 tests (of the 17 bowlers with 400 or more only Pollock has fewer), while Wagner has 9 5 wicket bags in just 59 tests. Broad gets a 5-fer approximately once every 8 tests, but Wagner does it approximately once every 6 tests.

Yeah but Broad has been bowling at the other end from Anderson for most of those Tests, makes wickets harder to come by when you’ve got the GOAT at the other end. If Broad played for any other country he’d probably have 1000 Test Wickets, speaking conservatively.

He'd have about 300 as he would've played far fewer tests.

That's like 14 wickets a match if he was a kiwi

5fers per Test

Anderson 5.4
Southee 6.2
Wagner 6.5
Boult 7.8
Broad 8.3
Wood 8.6

Broad has 12 - 6/7/8fers, likes getting on a roll
Anderson 6 - 6/7fers
