Australia’s Mitchell Starc picks 350 wickets in Test cricket

Brisbane [Australia] : Star Aussie pacer Mitchell Starc completed 350 wickets in Test cricket during the second long-format match between Australia and West Indies on Thursday at The Gabba in Brisbane. 

Starc made his Test debut for Australia in 2011 against New Zealand. Following that, he has appeared in 165 Test innings and picked up 350* wickets at an economy rate of 3.41. 

The 33-year-old pacer reached the milestone after he dimissed Alick Athanaze in the fourth ball of the 22nd over. Starc pitched the ball outside off, the Caribbean batter tried to smash but it got a nick and the Aussie wicketkeeper Alex Carey made no mistake to take the catch. 

Starc is currently the fifth-highest wicket-taker for Australia in Test cricket, with 351* wickets by his name.
