Hazlewood left fans gobsmacked on day two at Adelaide Oval with a stunning opening spell of 4-2 from five overs that left the hapless Windies faltering. Toward the finish of his 6th over, the veteran speedster's figures had smothered to some degree to 4-11.

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. Cummins likewise broadly denied opener Usman Khawaja the opportunity to score a double century in the New Year's Test against South Africa at the SCG in 2023, when when rain washed out the entire morning session and he declared with Khawaja on 195.
While Hazlewood will almost certainly be disheartened that he passed up stowing 10 wickets for the match, the 33-year-old ought to be very pleased with his inconceivable performance against the Windies. His five second innings scalps helped skittle the Windies for only 120, leaving Australia requiring only 26 rushes to finish a easy win.
