With Hazlewood's milestone, Australia now have four bowlers in the playing group who have each taken at least 300 Test wickets. They are the only Test attack in history to have played together after all four members reached the landmark (Pic: File Pic)
Hazlewood has also maintained an impressive bowling average. Among Australia's nine bowlers to have taken 300 Test wickets, only Glenn McGrath (21.64), Cummins (22.21), and Dennis Lillee (23.92) have better averages than Hazlewood's 24.02, according to Cricinfo (Pic: File Pic)
The milestone further adds to Hazlewood's status as one of Australia's leading Test fast bowlers, with his 14 five-wicket hauls highlighting his consistency in the longest format (Pic: File Pic)
