Number 9 - Stuart Broad (1,292)

Stuart Broad has been one of finest English pacers and has more than 400 Test wickets. His partnership with Anderson makes them one of the most dangerous pairs in recent times. That is not all, Broad has won games with the bat too. He is more than handy with the bat and is a better batsman than stats show.

Stuart Broad holds the record for most runs at number 10 too, scoring a total of 548 from 51 innings at an average of 12.74, which is fair enough for a number 10 batsman.
