Mitchell Starc became the fourth Australian to pick up 400 wickets in Tests during the third Test of the three-match series between West Indies and Australia. The aforementioned match, which his team ended up winning by 176 runs in Kingston, was also his 100th game in the format.
The seasoned left-arm pacer became the fourth Australian to join the 400-wicket club after Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath, and Nathan Lyon. To round off the landmark outing, he attained his best-ever innings (6/9) haul till date after making his debut in December 2011.
List of Australian bowlers with 400-plus Test wickets (as of July 15, 2025):
| Player | Matches | Innings | Average | Strike Rate | Economy | Wickets |
| Shane Warne | 145 | 273 | 25.41 | 57.49 | 2.65 | 708 |
| Glenn McGrath | 124 | 243 | 21.64 | 51.95 | 2.49 | 563 |

In Starc’s 100th Test, Australia won by a comfortable 176 runs at Sabina Park. Apart from him, Josh Hazlewood (1/10 in five overs) and Scott Boland (3/2 in two overs) also claimed wickets. Starc was largely responsible for the batting collapse and made history by claiming the fastest five-wicket haul in Test cricket history (15 deliveries).
Mitchell Starc was spot on from the first over of the fourth inning.
To get the visiting team off to a good start, he bowled a triple-wicket maiden to John Campbell (zero off one), Kevlon Anderson (zero off four), and Brandon King. He finished with seven wickets in the game.
Starc’s venomous spell was so iconic that it has overshadowed Boland’s hat-trick, the first time it has happened in pink-ball Tests. The hosts were shot out for just 27 while attempting to chase down 204 for victory. This was the second-lowest total in the history of Test cricket.
