The second Australia vs West Indies Test saw the hosts dominate the proceeding on the first day, reducing the Kraigg Brathwaite-led side to 64/5. In his seven overs, Aussie fast bowler Mitchell Starc came up with stupendous figures of 3/11. That effort helped the left-arm bowler to complete 350 wickets in Tests, becoming only the fourth from the country to do so.
Starc achieved the milestone in 87 Tests, same as compatriot Nathan Lyon. Interestingly, the fastest man to achieve this mark is Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralidaran, who completed his 350 wickets in only 66 Tests. R Ashwin is the joint-fastest, along with the Lankan legend.
As for Australia, Dennis Lillee happens to be the fastest bowler to 350 wickets, having achieved it in 70 matches. The list also includes other Australian greats, Shane Warne (80) & Glenn McGrath (74). On the other hand, the slowest to the milestone is an Indian, who crossed the mark in 100 Tests.
