List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Stuart Broad

Stuart Broad has taken sixteen five-wicket hauls in international cricket.

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "fifer"^[1]) refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement,^[2] and as of August 2015 only 43 bowlers have taken 15 or more five-wicket hauls at the international level.^[3] Stuart Broad—a right-arm fast-medium bowler—is a Test, One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I) cricketer who represents England. As of 15 January 2016, Broad has taken 330 wickets in Test matches, 177 wickets in ODIs and 65 wickets in T20Is.^[4] With 16 five-wicket hauls across all formats of the international game, he ranks equal thirty-fifth among bowlers overall, and seventh in the equivalent list for England.^{[lower-alpha 1][3][5]}

Broad made his Test debut against Sri Lanka during England's tour in 2007 with bowling figures of 1 wicket for 77 runs.^[6] His first five-wicket haul came against the West Indies during the first Test of the 2008–09 series at Sabina Park, taking 5 wickets for 85 runs in the first innings.^[7] His best bowling figures are 8 wickets for 15 runs which he took in the first innings of the fourth and decisive Test of the 2015 Ashes series at Trent Bridge.^[8] Securing the five wickets in 19 deliveries, Broad equalled the fastest five-wicket haul in Test history, set in 1947 by Ernie Toshack for Australia against India, and recorded the best Test bowling figures ever at Trent Bridge, surpassing Muttiah Muralitharan's 8 for 70 against England in June 2006.^[9] Broad has been most successful against Australia, taking six Test five-wicket hauls.^[10]

In 2006, Broad made his ODI debut against Pakistan during their tour of England and Scotland.^[11] After England were dismissed for 202 in the first innings, he took the only wicket of the second innings, that of Shoaib Malik, in a rain-curtailed match.^[11] He took his only five-wicket haul in the ODI format against South Africa in 2008.^[12] Broad took 5 wickets for 23 runs in the match, which England won by 10 wickets. The performance earned him the man of the match award.^[13] Although Broad made his first T20I appearance in 2008,^[4] he is yet to take a fifer in the format as of August 2015. His figures of 4 wickets for 24 runs against New Zealand in Auckland in 2013 remain his best in this variant of the game.^[14]

Tests

Broad took two fifers at the Riverside Ground (pictured) in a single Test in 2013.
