Top 5 highest scores by number 9 batsmen in Test cricket

#2 Stuart Broad (England) – 169 vs Pakistan (August 2010)

Trott and Broad put on a 332 run partnership

Pakistan’s tour of England in 2010 was a disastrous one as they lost the test series 3-1 after England put up a great Cricketing show. It was the 4^th and final test at the Lord’s when Stuart Broad produced a miraculous innings against a fiery Pakistan bowling line-up and created history. England were reeling at 102 for 7 in the first innings when Broad came out to bat.

Coming out to bat at number 9, he smashed a scintillating century scoring 169 runs from 297 balls which included 18 boundaries and a huge six.

Not only did Broad earn a place on the Lord’s honour board, but also created history by becoming the second highest scorer batting at number 9 in Test Cricket. He completely changed the course of the match and put up a strong partnership of 332 runs with Jonathan Trott to help England put up a big total of 446 runs on the board.

Broad’s innings was a delight to watch as he played some beautiful Cricketing shots all around the ground including a straight drive and a cover drive.
