Inn Break
That is all! Pat Cummins and his teammates celebrate. The series ends all square and they retain the trophy. Wow, what a match! West Indies, with all the things happening with them, just needed this kind of match and a couple of motivated players to get them back on top. Still, a long way to go but a bright future ahead of them. Thanks for joining for the coverage. Hope you enjoyed it. Goodbye and cheers!
Pat Cummins says he is disappointed but it was a fantastic match and credit to Shamar Joseph for the way he bowled. Adds they were confident coming today, the score was achievable but in the end, the bridge was too far. Mentions it wasn't a surprise, Steven Smith has done for 15 years and he almost single-handedly took the team over the line. Tells the bowling group has done well for the past few months, they can hold their heads high. Shares this game humble's them quickly but sometimes the lessons are learned hard way. On West Indies, says they are always exciting to watch, exciting celebrations as well but overall a fantastic Test match to play. Ends by saying he is looking forward to the future.
Kraigg Brathwaite says they won a Test match in Australia and it is amazing. Adds his message to the players is, this is just the beginning and they need to continue. Shares they are extremely proud. They had two words that inspired in this Test match, Mr. Rodney Hogg said that they were pathetic and hopeless. That was the inspiration. Tells probably an hour before the play he got to know that Shamar Joseph is available. On Shamar Joseph, he is a superstar, he will do great things for the team and the others need to follow the same and fight for the team. His belief is incredible, he told that he won’t stop bowling till they win it. Ends by saying he would love to play more Test cricket.
Shamar Joseph is the Player of the Match and the Player of the Series as well. He says his teammate encouraged him and gave a lot of support. Adds he wasn't sure if would play but credits the doctor. Tells the talk was just to take wickets after wickets and stick to the basics, stick to his length. Reckons it feels like they have won the series with the way they have played. Mentions tears are flowing but it is a big day, they want to celebrate and enjoy. Says he told the skipper he would bowl till the last wicket falls! Credits the teammates for helping him to get through the pain last night. Credits the doctor again, says he was in pain but the doctor pushed him to get on the bus and get to the ground. Reckons he made a lot of sacrifice but he just continues to work hard, learn from the senior players.
... Presentation....
Day 4, afternoon and here is the young man ready to charge up, 5 hours later he is carrying a medal around his neck. Steven Smith and Cameron Green watchfully played the opening hour but once Green fell, Shamar Joseph made sure the hosts do not recover again. He bowled from one side with a broken toe for the whole session and took 6 wickets. Came back for the second session and took the last wicket to get it done. A credit note for Steven Smith, he had pressure as an opener but stood like a wall. Played his shots when wickets were falling over and almost took his team over the line but didn't get the able support.
Australia lost Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne. However, it was the host's game to lose still. One moment we forget and the most important one which will make the headlines. Third innings, 72.4, Mitchell Starc to Shamar Joseph, A yorker, right at the base of leg. Shamar Joseph gets his foot out to defend but misses and gets hit right on the toes. That looks really painful. Shamar Joseph is walking off and not sure if he will bowl again.
Australia, in reply were rattled 54/4 but Usman Khawaja and Alex Carey put them back on track and Cummins's fifty late in the innings helped them get close to the Windies score. Pat Cummins was still not out with Josh Hazlewood the last man available but the skipper decided to declare the innings and make the most of the last phase. They did get one wicket but West Indies recovered well as the middle order stepped again. Australia did bowled well though and a chase of around 215 runs was set.
Who said Test cricket has died? This kind of match separates this format from the other. There is so much to talk. The declaration in the first innings from Pat Cummins, did that backfired? Looks so! You compare both matches and the most important part was the way the Windies middle order batted this time. The partnership of Joshua Da Silva and Kavem Hodge when West Indies were 64/5. It did showed that we are up for a different West Indies side. Both added around 150 runs, and later Kevin Sinclair's fifty helped them score more than 300.
Just look at Shamar Joseph. He is running all over the Gabba! Shamar Joseph, you can have my toe if you want! One man army, playing his second match, toe gone, not sure if he will bowl or not and here he is with 7 wickets. Build this man a statue already!

...DAY 4, SESSION 2...
WOW! Australia need 29 more runs to win. West Indies need 2 wickets to win. Who saw this coming at the start today? Just amazing! This man, Shamar Joseph had a broken toe yesterday night (a toe-crushing yorker from Mitchell Starc) he wasn't even sure if he will play and here he is, playing his debut series and single-handedly on course to take his team home. Two balls is what West Indies needed but they still have to bowl well. Steven Smith is standing like a wall from one side. He won't let this match go away. An enthralling second session coming up. Grab your popcorn..

Shamar Joseph To Mitchell Marsh
FOUR! Cut away. An hour of Marsh and this game will end quickly. Shorter and outside off, this is flayed past point and this one races away to the fence.

DRINKS! Windies needed some spark and it is Shamar Joseph who has provided it. He has got two in two and got his side back in with a chance. Australia began well but those two wickets has pushed them back a little. They though will hope they can get another good stand and they'll be back on top. An interesting passage awaits.

OUT! TIMBER! Two in two for Joseph and Windies back into this one. This is a corker of a yorker. Joseph goes full and on off, Head looks to jam it out but misses and it hits the off pole. Too good for any batter that delivery, especially on the very first ball he faces.

Shamar Joseph To Cameron Green OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! Joseph strikes. He gets rid of Green. The wicket has come probably later the Windies would have wanted this morning but it has. They'll hope this opens the floodgates now. 103 more needed. This is a brute of a delivery. Good length and around off, it jags back in and there is also some extra bounce. Green looks to defend. It hits the elbow and then onto the stumps.

First run off the day! Smith walks right across, this is on off, he works it towards mid-wicket for one.
All set for play to begin. The Windies players make their way out to the middle and so do Green and Smith to resume their innings. Kemar Roach to begin.
The game is nicely poised, the Aussies need just over 150 whereas, Windies need 8 wickets. Have to say for now the Aussies are slightly ahead in the game but a wicket or two quickly and they could be under some serious pressure. Saying that, the hosts would know, one good stand and that should do. The first session could well indicate which way this game is going. Stay tuned.
... DAY 4, SESSION 1 ...
However, the hosts came in with a twist as they cut the tail adding around just 10 runs. Shamar Joseph got retired out as Mitchell Starc came in with a scorching yorker right on his toes. His availability is a big concern for West Indies as they are to defend the total. In the chase, Usman Khawaja tickled down one to the keeper and Marnus Labuschagne edged one as well. Cameron Green survived while Steven Smith looked in good shape throughout. He has to play a big part in the chase. Day 4 might be the result day in this game. Join us at 9.30 am IST (4 am GMT) and earlier for the build up. Cheers!
A really good day for the hosts and they are in the driving seat at the moment. West Indies dominated the start of the day, the first one and a half sessions were excellent for them as the middle order showed great character to score runs regularly. All of them got to a start but failed to make the most of it. Kavem Hodge was batting brilliantly and had the game in control but a lapse of concentration saw him getting run out by Travis Head. Justin Greaves and Kevin Sinclair then got things back on the track. West Indies were leading by 200 runs when they went into the last session.
