Australia Sweeps West Indies 3-0 with Historic 27 All Out Collapse

In a historic third Test at Sabina Park, Australia defeated the West Indies by 176 runs, completing a 3-0 series sweep and retaining the Frank Worrell Trophy. The West Indies were bowled out for just 27 runs, marking the second-lowest total in Test cricket history, narrowly avoiding the all-time low of 26 set by New Zealand in 1955, with seven batsmen dismissed for ducks—a first in 148 years. Mitchell Starc starred with a rapid five-wicket haul in 15 balls during his 100th Test and reached 400 Test wickets, while Scott Boland claimed a hat-trick. The West Indies captain acknowledged that their batting let them down repeatedly throughout the series, emphasizing the need for serious improvement. Following the Test series, the teams will shift focus to a five-match T20I series beginning soon. This collapse has sparked considerable reflection on the struggles of West Indies cricket, contrasting with other cricket narratives like the enduring legacy of West Indian culture and historic cricket moments celebrated in venues such as Lord's.
