Playing in England is what every seam bowler dreams of but there wasn’t a single 5-wicket haul registered during the 18-day event apart from Hazlewood’s 6/52. In the group game against New Zealand, Australia were swatted to all corners of the ground by Williamson and Ronchi early on. After 39 overs, the Kiwis were in a strong position at 254 for 3. A target of anything near 325 looked almost certain.

This is when Hazlewood came to the fore, his last spell figures read 3-0-15-5 which included a three-wicket over which got New Zealand all out in the 45th over. It was a lion-hearted effort considering the position Australia were in by the 26-year old New South Wales fast bowler.
