Australia bowler Mitchell Johnson has admitted that he is "very proud" to have joined an exclusive club, after taking his 300th Test match wicket yesterday.
The left-armer bowled a fast bouncer to get rid of Jonny Bairstow at Edgbaston, and he has become just the fifth Aussie bowler to have passed the milestone.
He told Sky Sports News: "I'm very proud. You always want to win a Test, but when you get these kinds of accolades it's very special."
The 33-year-old also thanked Aussie great Dennis Lillee, who helped scout Johnson when he was a teenager.
He added: "To be up there with some of the Australian greats is something I'll be able to sit back and reflect on when I'm finished. Dennis has been a huge help throughout my career. He's a great mentor and a great man."
Johnson made his Test debut in 2007.
