West Indies Bowlers:

Match Context:

• Australia regains supremacy as they continue to win by an innings and 159 (1st Test), an innings and 133 (2nd Test), and 176 (3rd Test), to complete a massive 3-0 whitewash.

• The pink-ball Test was held with lights on, and since the innings were very short, there was no need of scheduled floodlights.

• In WTC 202527 standings, Australia is the leader with a 100 percent score in three Tests.

🏆 Implications:

For Australia

• They had the confidence of their  pace battery : Starc, Boland, Hazlewood, and Cummins bowled match winning passages throughout the series.

• Nonetheless, they have batting inconsistencies that are a red flag. The performance in the second innings (121) and the lack of performances by the top order indicate that the team may be weak before the Ashes later this winter in England.

In the case of West Indies:

• The batting unit is in crisis so bad that it has time and again failed under pressure.This is emphasized by averages of ~15 runs per wicket throughout the series.

• Internally there are calls to radical change-Carl Hooper and others demanding to be held accountable.The squad will turn its attention to T20Is and a stiff Test tour to India.

🏅 Records & achievements:

•  Second-lowest Test total 27 all time, one run more than the notorious NZ        26 in 1955.

• Fastest-ever Test five-wicket haul (within 15 balls) by Starc.

• Hat‑trick by Boland, the first one by an Australian since 15 years and the 10th Australian hat-trick ever.

• During this innings Starc also Crossed 400 Test wickets.

📝 Conclusion

Fast bowlers of Australia had unleashed one of the savage attacks in the history of Test cricket. Starc broke the world record of the most wickets in an over and Boland took a hat-trick to send the West Indies flying by 176 runs, resulting in a series clean sweep. However, in spite of this dominance, the Australian batters have shown weakness, a weakness that they will have to overcome by the time the Ashes comes. In the meantime, West Indies experience soul searching. Their hitting is out of order; the cry of change is heard. The team needs to pick itself up with a demanding Test tour to India to come up. This contest will be dated as a spectacle of pace bowling brilliance, and a grim warning of the narrow margins in cricket. Brief scores: Australia 225 and 121 (Cameron Green 42, Alzarri Joseph 5-27) beat West Indies 143 and 27 (Mitchell Starc 6-9, Scott Boland 3-2) by 176 runs
