West Indies confiscated the momentum 1. The first day of the pink ball test in Sabina and brought together Australia for only 225 thanks to the fire bowling display led by Shamar Joseph. The pace of sensation returned the characters 4/33, while Jayden Seales and Justin Greaves rushed with three goals to leave the host in a strong position.
At first the batting, the Australian shifts never went. Alonewho continues to fight international level was released from the first ball faced by Seales. The classic nipbacker imprisoned him LBW and set the tone of what was to follow.
Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green tried to stabilize the shifts, but the runs were walking. Australia limp at only 50/1 at lunch after 25 breaks, thanks to some disciplined bowling of West Indian pitch, who used useful conditions for perfection.
After some time, Shamar Joseph returned to the attack and removed Khawaja with an excellent van that pulled out the edge, brilliantly captured by Shai Hope sinking on his left. Green, who looked folded, was returned just before the dinner brose from Seales, which cropped off-spray.
When the lights occurred fully, the pink ball began to move significantly. Although Steve Smith briefly attacked the three boundaries, the momentum moved quickly as the goals continued the falling. Alex Carey tried to free himself with an aggressive approach, but after a brisk portrait he died Joseph.
The rest of the Australian middle and lower order failed to offer great resistance. Joseph’s pace and Greaves’s support meant that visitors had lost the last six goals for 80 runs. The playground offered consistent aid to sailors, but the lack of partnerships from the Australians was still to blame.
In the historical test for Mitchell Starcthat became only 2.
With the host ending day 1 in 16/1, the match is evenly prepared. West Indies now has a real shot when it gained the first shift, as the opportunity to avoid a series of discharging on home ground.
