NEW DELHI: Australia's formidable bowling quartet of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Nathan Lyon etched their names in cricketing history on Friday by becoming the first bowling unit to collectively take 500 Test wickets while playing together.
The milestone was reached during the first session of the opening Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against India in Perth. Starc and Hazlewood struck twice each early in the innings, pushing the quartet's tally to the historic mark.
