Moments after Josh Hazlewood fashioned a famous victory against India at the Adelaide Oval, en route picking the most economical figures for a five-wicket haul by an Australian, he got a congratulatory text from his father. “Well done, son. It’s nearly as good as my 5 for 4 when I played against Nemingha in 1985,” it read. Trevor, his father told local newspaper The Leader, that he could hear his son’s crackle from far away.
