Stuart Bro reaches milestone 

England pacer Stuart Bro today became only third England Test cricketer after James Anderson and Sir Alastair Cook to play ir 150th Test. While Anderson continues to play and is currently playing his 167th Test, Alastair Cook retired having played 161 Tests for England. As for James Anderson, he is fourth on list for Most Test matches in history and will soon overtake both Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting, leaving him only behind Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar who has played a record 200 games, something that is unlikely to be broken, given that game has become more demanding in recent times.
