James Anderson and Stuart Broad wickets in international cricket

James Anderson's wickets tally in international cricket makes for staggering reading. During the series-deciding third Test against Pakistan at Southampton in August, the 38-year-old claimed the 600th wicket of his Test career, thus becoming the first fast bowler in the world to reach the landmark figure. He is currently the fourth most successful bowler in Test history after the legendary spin trio of Muttiah Muralitharan (800), Shane Warne (708) and Anil Kumble (619).

Apart from his Test success, the James Anderson wickets section in limited-overs internationals includes another 287 victims. In 194 ODIs between 2002 and 2015, the right-arm pacer bagged 269 wickets and in 19 T20Is, he collected 18 wickets. His overall international wickets tally now stands at 887 scalps.

On the other hand, Stuart Broad joined the 500-Test wicket club this year through his match-winning performance against West Indies at Manchester in July. By doing so, he became only the fourth fast bowler in the world and seventh overall to join the elite club. The Stuart Broad wickets section in Tests now stands at 514 wickets for an overall tally of 757 international wickets (another 178 in ODIs and 65 in T20Is).
