Cummins claims 300th Test wicket at Lord’s in WTC final

London, Jun 12 (UNI) Australia captain Pat Cummins on Thursday became the eighth Australian and 22nd bowler overall to claim 300 Test wickets, as he led a devastating bowling performance against South Africa on the second day of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final at Lord’s.
Cummins’ extraordinary 6 for 28 — the best bowling figures by a Test captain at Lord’s — dismantled South Africa’s batting order and handed Australia a crucial first-innings lead in the high-stakes encounter.
In a remarkable statistical milestone, the match also saw history being created as Cummins joined Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon to form the first-ever Test bowling attack featuring three players with 300 or more wickets. Josh Hazlewood, who missed the mark narrowly, sits on 280.
