384 - Wickets for Stuart Broad in Tests. He went past Ian Botham's 383 to become England's second highest wicket-taker behind his partner James Anderson (492). The last time England's top-two wicket-takers played together were Fred Trueman and Brian Statham in 1963. Incidentally, Broad's strike rate is identical to Botham's, 56.9.
