Prominent pacer Josh Hazlewood of Australia expressed his optimism that the bowling four of Pat Cummins, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Starc, and him will continue to display their prowess in red-ball cricket. The allure and luster of Test cricket have begun to fade in the eyes of many with the growth of franchised cricket leagues around the world.
Josh Hazlewood expressed his intention for his teammates to play red-ball cricket for a minimum of two more years, citing the example of England veteran James Anderson, who is still active in the longest format at the age of 41.
Jimmy Anderson has been observed engaging in such behavior. Patty and I have a slight dissimilarity with starchy bowls. Though most of the time he’s all guns blazing, it would be incredible if we could all score 300 [wickets]. Although it would be wonderful to be able to play forever, if we could play for a few more years, we might be able to continue playing longer, given what we now know about workload control and training. Like I said, I truly like the format, and I know the other boys do too. You try to stay in Test cricket as long as possible,” Hazlewood told The Sydney Morning Herald.
The final guy out of the four will make it extra special: Josh Hazlewood
Additionally, Josh Hazlewood talked about how a variety of injuries have limited his ability to take wickets and said that it has taken a long time for him to go from 200 to 250 wickets. In addition, he mentioned that captain Pat Cummins was catching up to him.
It’s probably taken a while to get through the previous 50 wickets. I seem to have gained 200 a long time ago, and during the past few years, there have undoubtedly been a few injuries. Being the final of the four guys to achieve it will make it quite remarkable. With three consecutive five-fors (five-wicket hauls) on the bounce, “Cummo” has been passing me by really swiftly over the previous few years, according to Hazlewood.
