Some largely pointless Broad batting comparisons

Broad’s longevity as a bowler and occasional brilliance with the bat makes for some mildly interesting comparisons with genuine batsmen.

Most sixes scored by England players in test matches (min. 1,000 runs)

Top 15:

KP 81

Flintoff 78

Stokes 74

Botham 67

S Broadman 48

(Interesting that four of England’s greatest all rounders feature in the top 5.)

Trescothick 42

Bell 39

Buttler 32

Barrington 27

Hammond 27

Bairstow 26

Ali 25

Gooch 24

Collingwood 24

Hussain 24

A few select others:

Root 22

Cook 11

Boycott 8

J Anderson 3

C Broad 1
