Cummins became the second youngest Test player in cricket history to claim a six-wicket haul in his debut match at the Wanderers. The 18-year-old showed nerves of steel and maturity beyond his age to share 18 runs with Mitchell Johnson for the ninth-wicket, helping Australia seal a brilliant comeback victory.
