The Australian bowling quartet of pacers Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and spinner Nathan Lyon made history as they became the first bowling quartet in Test history to take 500 Test wickets while playing together
The legendary quartet accomplished this feat during the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against India at Perth
During the first session of the match, Josh Hazlewood and Starc struck twice each, taking the wicket tally to the 500 mark
While playing together, Cummins has 130 scalps, Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc have 124 each and Lyon has 122 wickets
The quarter closest to them is England's James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Ben Stokes, and Moeen Ali with 415 scalps while playing in whites together
Based on pure numbers, Lyon (530 scalps in 130 matches), Starc (360 in 90 matches), Hazlewood (275 scalps in 71 matches) and Cummins (269 scalps in 63 matches) are up there as one of the greatest quartets in Tests ever, if not the greatest
