However in reality bowlers also get plenty of chances to grab dozens of wickets during a test series. In fact some of the best cricket bowlers keep waiting for the opportunity to play an elongated test series so they could grab a handful of wickets. Bowlers like Dale Steyn, James Anderson and Stuart Broad prefer the test format over limited overs game for the same reason. Besides getting good number of wickets the race to reach the landmarks keeps going.
