Yearender 2020: In Pics - Stuart Broad, Tim Southee and Other Top Ten Wicket-Takers in Tests This Year
While four of the bowlers were Englishmen in top ten list of wicket-takers in Tests, three of them were from New Zealand. Here is a full list through our pictures.
One of the best strike bowlers of England, pacer Stuart Broad has topped the bowling charts in the year 2020 which included two good series against West Indies and Pakistan after the cricket resumed.
Tim Southee’s ability to swing the ball both ways makes him an asset for New Zealand. Thanks to this ability, he accounted for 14 wickets in two Test series against India earlier this year.
Anderson had an ordinary performance against West Indies but came back and picked up 11 wickets in 3-match series against Pakistan. It seems that Anderson’s prime has passed.
Boult is very good when it comes to swinging the ball into the right-hander and this talent became deadly for oppositions like India against whom he picked up 11 wickets.
Woakes was at his menacing best against West Indies as cricket resumed in bio-bubble. He picked up 11 wickets in two matches with a best of 5/50.
This was Ben Stokes’ year. He was the highest run-scorer in 2020 and to top it all he also had a more than decent show as far his bowling is concerned.
Wagner made quite a name for himself as he bounced out Steve Smith when they toured Down Under earlier this year and then he topped it up with 9 wickets against West Indies when cricket resumed later this year in New Zealand.
The Pakistan spinner is a willy master when it comes to giving the ball a bit of flight and loop. He had quite a show on England tour where he accounted for 14 wickets.
