500 test wickets for @StuartBroad8.

7th player to reach this milestone

4th seam bowler to do so after Walsh, McGrath and teammate @jimmy9

2nd youngest player to take 500

Broad is the slowest to do so, taking 263 innings. Muralitharan needed only 147

There are signs that Stuart Broad is already past his peak in terms of taking wickets.

He took a higher number of wickets (184) between the ages of 26 and 29 than he did aged 30-33 (140 wickets).

Broad has bowled the third fewest deliveries to take 500 wickets - behind McGrath and Anderson - as @cricbuzz tweeted here: https://twitter.com/cricbuzz/status/1288067586639372289?s=20
Stuart Broad's career looks reasonably similar to Glenn McGrath's from the age of 26 onwards.

Broad was more prolific than McGrath when he was young (22 to 25) though

Broad has obviously only just started in the final category so these proportions will change
