Hazzlewood was denied another milestone to complete his 10 wicket haul.

The choice by Cummins not to allow Hazlewood even more an opportunity to pack his maiden 10-wicket match is one more illustration of the captain's 'group before individual' mindset.

His five second innings scalps helped skittle the Windies for only 120, leaving Australia requiring only 26 rushes to finish a easy win.
