Australia's bowling quartet reaches 602 Test wickets together

Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon, and Mitchell Starc became the first team bowling quartet to collectively take 600 Test wickets, achieving the milestone in their 38th Test together. The achievement occurred during the first Test against South Africa in Durban, where the quartet accounted for nine out of ten wickets in South Africa's first innings total of 284. Each bowler contributed at least two wickets, with Cummins leading the group with three. This historic mark highlights their effectiveness, as their combined performance has improved Australia's win rate when all four bowlers play. The group’s balanced contributions emphasize their unique individual skills, making them one of the finest bowling combinations in history.
