It is not that easy for a bowler to take more wickets in Test cricket because one needs to work their socks off to get their line and lengths right and that too on a consistent basis.
We all know that batters are quite clever when it comes to playing red-ball cricket because they are smart enough to leave the balls that are coming outside the off-stump.
Despite all that, bowlers still find a way to take crucial wickets when it mattered the most and only successful bowlers can do that. While taking a fifer is considered a huge accomplishment, bagging a ten-wicket haul is something that every good bowler dreams of.
Australia have produced quality bowlers without any doubts. However, even the legendary Glenn McGrath didn’t take more than 6 ten wicket-hauls in Test cricket. Now, in this article, we will take a glimpse at three Australians who have taken more than six ten-wicket-hauls in Test cricket.
