Mitchell Starc <\/strong>: Australia’s ace pacer Mitchell Starc ran riot at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica, in the fourth innings of the side’s recently concluded third Test against West Indies. The left-arm fast bowler picked up the fastest five-wicket haul from the start of the innings in men’s Test cricket history, bagging five scalps in just 15 balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

West Indies needed to chase a 204-run target for victory in the pink-ball Test. Bowling the first over of the innings, Starc, who was playing in his 100th Test, helped Australia get off to a sensational start by taking three wickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Campbell, Kevlon Anderson and Brandon King perished to Starc for ducks in the opening over. The 35-year-old completed his five-wicket haul by dismissing Mikyle Louis and Brandon King in the fifth over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He broke the record of Mikyle Louis, Stuart Broad and Scott Boland, who were the joint-fastest with a 19-ball five-wicket haul each. Starc finished with wonderful figures of 7.3-4-9-6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

West Indies were bowled out for a paltry score of 27. It is the second-lowest total in Test cricket. Starc’s wonderful run with the pink ball continued as he finished with eight wickets across two innings in Australia’s comprehensive 176-run victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitchell Starc becomes the second Australian pacer to claim 400 Test wickets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mitchell Starc’s 100th Test appearance became even more special for him as he completed 400 Test wickets. <\/a>He crossed the landmark by getting rid of Mikyle Louis in the fifth over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is worth mentioning that Starc became just the second Australian pacer to claim 400 or more wickets in the format. With 402 wickets, he is currently Australia’s fourth-highest wicket-taker in Tests. The only Australian bowlers who have taken more Test wickets than Starc are Shane Warne (708), Glenn McGrath (563) and Nathan Lyon (562).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking about Starc’s stunning spell, Australia captain Pat Cummins said in the post-match presentation (via Cricbuzz<\/em>):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“When you talk of 100 Tests, you talk of fitness and strength, and today you saw the real Mitch Starc. Shows what he can do when he can tear through a batting order. It was great, he gets on a roll and today was three classics – three wickets at the stumps. He has spent a lot of time running drinks when the others are fit, but he performs when he plays. Really happy for him.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
