Australia undefeated in ODIs when both Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc have played together

[Convict]

I was talking to somebody and they claimed that they couldn't recall a single occasion where Australia had lost a One Day International when both Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc had played.

So I checked it up on cricinfo.



After 18 matches, including a world cup quarter final, semi final and final, Australia have won 16 matches when both Starc and Hazlewood played with the other two matches washed out without a result.

Now they're obviously going to lose the next game they play together now that I've made this thread but the Hazlewood/Starc partnership would have to be getting up there in terms of fast bowling pairs.

The ABC also worked out that in terms of test cricket, while Australia haven't been as successful with them (seven wins, two draws and eight losses from 17 tests) that Hazlewood and Starc have the best strike rate of any new ball pair in test cricket with over 100 wickets as new ball partners.

It emerged during Australia’s seven-wicket win in Adelaide that Hazlewood and Starc are the most lethal opening bowling partnership in the history of Test cricket.

After South Africa was knocked over for 259 in the first innings of the Third Test, Hazlewood and Starc — as unlikely as it seems — stood clear above every opening bowling partnership to ever play Test cricket.

When bowling with the new ball at the top of an innings as a tandem act, Starc and Hazlewood claim more scalps per ball bowled than every legendary pairing in the game’s history — with a minimum of 100 Test dismissals between them.

ABC Grandstand cricket statistics wizard Ric Finlay pointed out during the Adelaide Test after South Africa’s first innings that Hazlewood and Starc have taken a wicket between them every 40.81 deliveries.

Two World class bowlers.
[MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION], any young bowlers upcoming who are Starc or Hazlewood level who could make their mark when both retire?

When both retire?

That's way too far off for me to make a call.

Billy Stanlake and Joel Paris are the two young guys I really rate though Paris isn't only a few years younger than Hazlewood.

A fantastic bowling pair. Should be the next great odi and test pairing.

Australia could have a mighty pace attack if/when Pattinson and Cummins stay fit and are added to the team. Their next spinner needs to be a Moeen Ali type who is a good batsman too and can fit into the team as an all rounder, because I would be tempted to go with the four fast bowlers all the time.

What happened to him? After Ashes heroics in England couple of summers back vanished from the scenes!

Hazlewood reminds me of McGrath, apart from recent WT20 match I have never seen him getting tonked.

Still playing shield. Stagnated with the ball last season but scored a few centuries then took a tenfer this year against NSW

Aus have the fast bowling covered, but they need one great spinner like warne or two very decent spinners if they are to win in asia, otherwise without quality spinners, best they can hope is draw if they bat long, otherwise they will lose even in bd, no matter how good their pacers are,
