Australia First fast bowler to take 100 Test wickets making debut after 30

However, the late bloomer from New South Wales has that ability to quietly deliver the coup de grace on the innocent batsman. Recently, he went onto take 100 Test wickets in only his 24th Test.

Of all fast bowlers to have made their debut after 30, Australian speedster Ryan Harris has just become the first to pick up a hundred Test wickets.
