Mitchell Starc created a glimmering record of surpassing Dennis Lellie, securing the most wickets for Australia in Test Cricket. Starc arrived at the unique milestone during the continuous second Test match against New Zealand on Friday at Hagley Oval.
Starc hit three wickets as Australia ruled the day one, routing New Zealand for 162 in their most memorable innings. Starc outperformed Lillee’s 355 wickets to ascend to fourth in the rundown for most Test wickets by an Australian. Starc presently has 357 wickets. Late Shane Warne drives the rundown with 708 scalps.
Prior, Australia won the throw, putting the hosts to bat. Australia lead the two-match series 1-0 as New Zealand failed to set up an ordering battle against Australia.
Australia are searching for a 2-0 series clear as they keep on putting down New Zealand.
