 "'Do not mess with the Aussies': West Indies bowled out for just 27, suffer second-lowest Test score in history")
West Indies suffered one of the darkest days in their Test history as they were bowled out for just 27 runs, the second-lowest total in Test cricket, to hand Australia a massive win by 176 runs in the third Test at Sabina Park, Kingston.
Australian fast bowlers ran riot, with Mitchell Starc taking 6 wickets for 9 runs and Scott Boland grabbing a hat-trick, as the hosts fell apart in just 14.3 overs. West Indies narrowly avoided the lowest-ever Test score of 26 set by New Zealand in 1955.
West Indies captain Roston Chase called it “a heartbreaking way to finish” and admitted that while the bowlers did well throughout the series, the batting lineup simply didn’t deliver.

Cricket ka real horror show toh yahan hua tha 💀#AUSvsWI #Boland #Cricket #stark
They wasted no time in getting rid of the scores on both the board & the electronic boards. The ignominy of being bowled out for 27 cannot be wiped off though. To quote the late great Tony Cozier, “where does West Indies cricket go from here” #WIvAus pic.twitter.com/hgnAyX9gYX

Starc’s first 15 balls delivered the fastest five-wicket haul in test history, and his 15th five-wicket innings in tests. The tall left-arm paceman took a wicket with the first ball of the West Indies’ second innings and three wickets in that first over — a triple-wicket maiden.
“It’s been a fantastic series. I think we’ve seen some difficult batting conditions throughout,” said Starc, who claimed his 400th career test wicket in his 100th test, a memorable milestone. “It’s been a good few days, very enjoyable and I’ll go home with a smile on my face.”
Starc said he felt like his rhythm had been building for a month.
“Today again just felt like everything was in sync,” he said. “Everyone who had the ball in hand today was on the mark straight away.
“I don’t think we imagined it was going to happen as quickly as it did but when you’ve got an attack like ours, some things can happen like that.”
Australia completed a 3-0 sweep of the Frank Worrell Trophy, having won the first two Tests by 159 runs in Barbados and 133 runs in Grenada.
