Srinagar: The injured pacer Shamar Joseph delivered a sensational eight run thrilling win for West Indies vs hosts Australia in the second Test at the Gabba in Brisbane on January 28.
Joseph took 7-68 as the West Indies bowled Australia out for 207, giving the West Indies their first win in Australia since 1997.
Although proving expensive, Joseph’s extra pace caused trouble for all the batters and the more wickets he took, the more confident the West Indies became.
He bowled Green and Travis Head with consecutive balls, them dismissed Mitchell Marsh, Mitchell Starc, Alex Carey and Pat Cummins in an extended first session.
He capped off a remarkable performance when he clean bowled Josh Hazlewood to end the match.
“I was just thinking of the basics, get it at the top of off,” Joseph said.
“I was just trying to find my rhythm and that was important for me.”
Through all the carnage, Smith stood firm for the Australians, answering his critics with a superb innings of 91, but it was in vain as the underdogs stunned the world Test champions.
