Australia’s Fast‑Bowling Quartet Sets New 600‑Wicket Record

During the third day of the first Test between Australia and South Africa at Kingsmead, the four-man Australian pace unit continued its dominance. Cum Cummins struck three wickets, Hazlewood and Lyon each added two, and Starc claimed a solitary wicket, reducing the hosts to 197 for eight. The Australians had posted 390 in their first innings, highlighted by Matt Renshaw’s brilliant century. This performance lifted the collective Test wicket haul of the quartet beyond 600 across 38 matches, cementing their place in cricket’s record books.
