Current Test players with more than 5,000 test runs: Alistair Cook - 11057 Younis Khan 9977 AB DeVilliers - 8074 Hasim Amla - 7799 Ross Taylor 6015 David Warner 5261
Current Test Players with more than 200 wickets: Jimmy Anderson 467 Dale Steyn 417 Stuart Broad 368 Rangana Herath 357 RM Ashwin 249 Morne Morkel 242 Nathan Lyon 228 Ishant Sharma 213 Peter Siddle 208 Tim Southee 201
Most overs bowled by a fast bowler 5003.1 Courtney Walsh. Anderson 4473.2.. 529.5 overs to go. Can he get to 500 wickets? 33 wickets needed at 3.82 - 9 Tests. Unless he has a very good summer he might need to be on the Ashes trip. Since 2011 Broad has had 59 catches dropped off his bowling and Anderson 51 drops
I wonder which bowler has had the most dropped catches off his bowling? I suppose a better stat would be the most % of dropped catches against wickets taken??
