Mitchell Starc will become second Australian fast bowler to reach 100 Tests in final clash with West Indies
Starc, 35, is also on the verge of breaking the 400-wicket barrier after his second innings haul of 3-28 against the West Indies in Grenada spearheaded Australia's second Test win that sealed the series.
Australian captain Cummins was effusive in his post-match praise for Starc, who will join Glenn McGrath (124) in the 100-Test club in the third and final match of the series in Jamaica.
It will be Starc's 293rd match for his country across all formats, and his 395 Test wickets, so far, puts him well clear in fourth spot all time for Australia.
Cummins, who has moved up to eighth on the same list through 70 Tests and could hit 500 should he also push on to 100, said he couldn't 'fathom' the possibility of still bowling as fast as Starc does after so many matches.
'I mean it's a huge effort as a fast bowler as well and he's still bowling at 145km/h at the end of that game,' Cummins said after the second-Test victory.
'And I can't fathom playing a hundred games and keeping that kind of speed.
'He's just a warrior, just turns up every week and wants to play no matter what, just cracks on and is such a low-fuss kind of guy.
'All things going well, it'll be a great week for him next week we'll kind of celebrate.
'It's a pretty small crew that have played 100 Tests. He's the second fast bowler (for Australia), it's really rare, really tough to do, so proud of him.'
Of the 81 players to reach 100 Tests, only 11, including Starc, have been fast bowlers and Glenn McGrath is the only other Australian.
Cummins said the Australians would 'come up with something' to recognise Starc's achievement.
'Normally come with a couple of presents or something, a bit of memorabilia or something for him to remember it by,' he said.
The reduced bowling workload through the second Test, with Starc only bowling 21 overs across each innings, could mean no changes for the final game.
'Give it a couple days and see how everyone pulls up,' Cummins said.
'But I think we're all probably around 25 overs or something from the match, which is really light. It's kind of another big tick'

‘I let down myself': Nathan Cleary accepts that State of Origin criticism is warranted after failing to guide the Blues to victory in the decider
Nathan Cleary concedes criticism of his State of Origin performances is justified and that he's yet to properly own a series for the Blues after NSW handed back the shield with a meek showing in front of their home fans on Wednesday night. The Penrith halfback is the best player in the world and is on track to have one of the greatest individual careers of all time, with Cleary already winning four titles in a row where he was judged the most valuable player on two occasions. But while his club form has been unrivalled, Cleary's Origin record is now 8-9 after he lost his third decider. The Cleary discourse has always ranged from him being the GOAT to others pushing back because he hasn't dominated rep footy, and the man himself concedes the criticism is warranted. 'At the end of the day, I haven't (owned Origin),' he said in the sheds. 'I'm the harshest marker of myself anyway so I don't really think what other people say is out of line because I think that of myself anyway. 'At the end of the day, you feel like you've let down the boys that you play with in the state, and that's what hurts the most. I let down myself and my own high standards. It's frustrating.' The champion playmaker spent 20 minutes with his parents in the sheds discussing what went wrong on a night where the Maroons ambushed the Blues again to race out to a 20-0 half-time lead. Cleary looked dejected and addressed his emotions in a raw interview where he praised Queensland's defence for throwing him off his game as they've done in previous deciders. 'I feel terrible. It's so frustrating,' he lamented after he didn't set up any tries in the 24-12 loss. 'It feels like I've been here before and then it's happened again. It sucks. 'I'll definitely reflect, and that's sort of already happening in my brain at the moment as I try to work out what happened. 'It's so frustrating because I probably didn't adjust quickly enough to their rushing defence, and that played into their hands. 'They were scrambling and saving tries, and we probably conceded them too easily. 'I don't want to say too much right now (about what I could have done) because I'm not 100 per cent sure, but I think I could have controlled it a little more and not played into that aggressive defence as much, which gave them confidence.' This game was supposed to be Cleary's final frontier, but he'll have to wait another year to tick it off his bucket list. 'That's sort of sinking in now,' he said. 'It's much like a grand final. It's the biggest game of all, and if you lose, you have to wait another year to get back there. 'It's about growing from it and not kicking stones. The frustrating thing about rugby league is that you feel like you learnt lessons before, but there are always new lessons to learn. 'No two rugby league games are ever the same so it's constantly evolving and you've got to evolve your game.' Rival halfback Tom Dearden was the best player on the field in the decider and deservedly won the Wally Lewis Medal, with the Cowboys star full of praise for Cleary afterwards. 'He's a great player and you don't take anything away from his game tonight,' he said. 'We played really well and got our game on, and that's what allowed us to control the game and win in the end. 'Cleary is a special player and you've got to make sure you're at your best to beat a team with a guy like Nathan playing for them.'

Melbourne Cup prizemoney to be paid from first to 24th after $10m race confirmed
Racing Victoria has confirmed prizemoney increases for Australia's most famous and best races. Melbourne Cup prizemoney has officially increased to $10m with all starters to share in the bounty. The Cox Plate has also been boosted to $6m – up from $5m – to mark the historic last weight-for-age championship on the traditional Moonee Valley Racecourse before a major redevelopment. Racing Victoria is set to confirm prizemoney schedule for the 2025-25 season on Thursday. This masthead on Monday revealed the Melbourne Cup and Cox Plate prizemoney decisions. VRC chief executive Kylie Rogers has welcomed the Melbourne Cup prizemoney increase. 'We are thrilled to finally be able to allocate the prizemoney the Lexus Melbourne Cup deserves,' Rogers said. 'It's the 'People's Cup' and frankly $10m allocated across all participants from one to 24 keeps the dream alive for all local, domestic and international participants.' Prizemoney historically for the Cup has been paid down to 12th place from $4.4m to $160,000. While the status quo remains for the top half of the Cup field, from the first Tuesday in November this year 13th to 24th will each receive $100,000. Last year the Melbourne Cup carried $8m prizemoney and a $750,000 18-carat gold three-handled trophy. Rogers praised VRC chief racing officer Leigh Jordon for the new payment structure. 'It takes a lot to get to the Cup,' Jordon said. 'Spreading it right down to the bottom gives everyone a chance in the race domestically and I think internationally it will help a little bit too … it takes a bit to fly out here and participate in the Cup. 'It's good for our grassroots participants here in Australia and New Zealand … it's the People's Cup and we want everyone to be able to run in it.' The VRC has also officially recognised the Geelong Cup and Moonee Valley Gold Cup as 'win and you're in' Melbourne Cup qualifiers. 'Geelong Cup and Moonee Valley Gold Cup have historically delivered, naturally, Melbourne Cup starters and so we thought we would richly reward them and formalise them as part of our golden ticket program,' Rogers said. 'Now we have a $10m Melbourne Cup with 10 golden tickets leading in.' An industry-wide collaborated and approved 'strategic reallocation' has allowed RV to maintain the overall prizemoney pool while also being able to boost select races from grassroots to elite level. A reduction in All-Star Mile and Australian Cup prizemoney – now $2m from $2.5m last year – has boosted the Newmarket Handicap ($1.5m to $2m) and Melbourne Cup.

Racing Victoria finds $316m to deliver prizemoney changes for 2025-26 season
Victorian racing is united behind a $316m distribution of prizemoney and bonuses set to support participants from grassroots to elite levels in the upcoming 2025-26 season. Racing Victoria has managed to retain prizemoney levels year-on-year despite ongoing financial and wagering pressure. RV worked closely with partners, including Country Racing Victoria, metropolitan racing clubs and stakeholder groups for trainers, jockeys, owners and breeders, to achieve its objective through strategic reallocation of funds and internal cost saving. RV chief executive Aaron Morrison has appreciated the industry-wide support and collaboration. 'We understand the importance of prizemoney through the ecosystem,' Morrison said. 'Grassroots is just as important as the top end.' Key prizemoney changes include: • 1400 country maidens, a third of all Victorian races, increased by $5000 across the board from Non-TAB ($20,000 up from $15,000) to premium ($55,000 up from $50,000); • $55,000 (day/twilight) and $60,000 (night) maidens will be programmed on midweek metropolitan cards; • Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes and Group 1 Underwood Stakes increased from $750,000 to $1m; • Group 3 Thoroughbred Club Stakes now $1m (up from $200,000) ; • Minimum prizemoney for all Listed and Group 3 races during the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup carnivals to increase from $175,000 to $200,000 (Listed) and $200,000 to $240,000 (Group 3). • Resilient hoop has milestones in sight after rejections 'The prizemoney model for 2025-26 reflects a broad range of valuable submissions from our clubs and stakeholder groups whom we thank for their insights,' Morrison said. 'We also acknowledge the commitments from the MRC, VRC and MVRC to increase their contributions to lift prizemoney for key races next season. 'Prizemoney is the lifeblood for participants and owners and provides confidence to continue to invest in Victorian racing. 'At the heart of next season's prizemoney model is a strategic realignment to primarily turbo charge country maidens and to invest in flagship races that deliver maximum returns to the industry.' RV has brought forward its planned scaling back of participant wellbeing and WorkCover levies – built into prizemoney – to August 1 (from February 2026) and freed up $1.4m as a result. The overall welfare contribution (3.5 per cent) from August 1 will support equine (2 per cent), jockey (1 per cent) and participant wellbeing/WorkCover (0.5 per cent) initiatives.
