And that’s a wrap from this final Test and the series, as Australia complete a commanding 3-0 whitewash over the West Indies and retain the Frank Worrell Trophy. Pat Cummins, the victorious captain, is now presented with the trophy, and he joins his teammates to lift it proudly, posing for a few celebratory team photos in front of the 'Champions' banner. These two sides will now shift gears and swap the whites for coloured kits, with a five-match T20I series coming up. The first T20I is scheduled for Monday, 21st July, at 12 am GMT, and as always, we’ll be with you early for all the build-up. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
Pat Cummins, the skipper of Australia, reflects on a dramatic finish and calls the match absolute madness, saying it felt like it was played in fast forward. Mentions that every Test in the series had its testing moments and could have swung either way, making it a real contest, especially for the batters. He’s full of praise for Mitchell Starc, saying that playing 100 Tests is a true testament to his fitness and strength, and watching him tear through the opposition with three classic stump-hitting wickets was vintage Starc. Adds that Starc often flies under the radar, running drinks when others are fit, but always steps up when given the opportunity. Also tips his hat to the West Indies fast bowlers, congratulating them for stepping up whenever called upon, and while the Windies fell short as a team, the bowlers gave it everything. Acknowledges that the conditions were tough throughout, and despite not getting big scores, even 40s felt like 80s in this context, so it’s important to view contributions realistically. Admits the overall batting display didn’t quite click, and that’s an area they’ll need to address. Encourages the group in the end not to rest on past achievements but to keep working and improving.
Roston Chase, the captain of the West Indies, says that it's heartbreaking to be in this position. Adds that this has happened throughout the series, which makes it even more disappointing. Tells that they need to have a serious look at themselves as a batting unit, and there is a lot of improvement needed. Mentions that they do have a long break before the Test series in India, where the conditions will be much more spin-friendly, and a few batting camps trying to adjust their batters might help them. He congratulates the pace bowling unit and says that they have been amazing and were always there whenever called upon, but he does not want them to stop here and wants them to strive for greatness.
Mitchell Starc is named both PLAYER OF THE MATCH (7 wickets, including a six-for) and PLAYER OF THE SERIES (15 wickets in 3 Tests). He shares his thoughts after a dominant performance. Says everything worked out really well over the week, calling it a fantastic series for the team. Admits the conditions were tough, especially for the batters, but he’s heading home with a big smile on his face. Reflects on how challenging it was under the lights with the hard pink ball, particularly last night, and credits the entire bowling unit for being on the money throughout. Speaking on Scott Boland’s hat-trick, he calls it amazing and adds that Boland would have played many more Tests if he were part of any other side. Praises his teammate’s discipline and preparation, calling him a truly world-class Test bowler. Starc also gives credit to the West Indies fast bowlers, saying they showed real quality in tough conditions, highlighting Shamar Joseph and Jayden Seales for their consistency, and applauding Alzarri Joseph for his impact, especially with the new ball. Wraps up by saying the bowlers from both sides brought skill, pace, and fight across the series.
Presentation Time...
Scott Boland, the hat-trick hero, is down for a quick chat. Reflects on taking his first Test hat-trick, as he was definitely nervous running in for that final delivery, but the feeling after was absolutely amazing. Credits Mitchell Starc for setting the tone early, calling his three wickets in the opening over unbelievable and a game-changer. Admits that no one expected all ten wickets to fall in just the first session, and he’s just happy to have contributed by sticking to good areas. Adds that it’s unreal to witness Starc achieve his 400th wicket in his 100th Test, calling it a truly special moment and a reward for the hard work and dedication Starc puts in behind the scenes to stay fit and sharp.
Day 3 was all about wickets – relentless and unforgiving. West Indies quickly wrapped up the remaining four Australian wickets, leaving themselves a target of 204. At that point, many believed there was still a contest to be had. But what followed was simply astonishing. Mitchell Starc and Scott Boland tore through the batting lineup with ruthless precision, dismantling the hosts and sealing the result shortly after Tea. Being bowled out for just 27 is a scar that will haunt the West Indies for a long, long time - a collapse that will be remembered for all the wrong reasons.
Another dramatic day of Test cricket unfolded on Day 2 as momentum swung both ways before West Indies snatched the edge in the final session. Despite being bowled out for 143 earlier, their pacers came roaring back under the lights, reducing Australia to 99/6. Shamar Joseph and Alzarri Joseph were relentless, dismantling the top and middle order with pace and precision. Cameron Green, with support from Pat Cummins, held firm to take the lead to 181 by stumps. In a game where every session has shifted the balance, this day too was defined by pace, pressure, and flashes of brilliance.
Day 1 had its share of twists, starting with Australia’s cautious start and West Indies’ disciplined bowling, before the hosts shifted gears in the second session through a positive stand between Steve Smith and Cameron Green. However, under the lights, the pink ball did its magic as West Indies triggered a dramatic collapse, bundling out Australia with seven wickets falling for just 68 runs. Shamar Joseph starred again, while Jayden Seales and Justin Greaves chipped in. In reply, the hosts lost debutant Kevlon Anderson early to Mitchell Starc, but Brandon King and Roston Chase steadied things, taking them to stumps at 1/26, trailing by 209.
Mitchell Starc was absolutely on fire, delivering a breathtaking spell to claim 6 for 9, and in the process, he reached the milestone of 400 Test wickets - a feat that adds even more sparkle to an already memorable performance. He becomes just the fourth Australian bowler, and only the second fast bowler for his country after Glenn McGrath, to reach that landmark. Adding to the drama, Scott Boland had his own moment of glory, picking up his maiden Test hat-trick to clean up the tail and seal a dominant 3-0 series win for the visitors. Let's now have a recap of what happened in this Test.
It's hard to find the words for what we've just witnessed at Sabina Park. West Indies have been bundled out for their lowest-ever total in Test history, coming perilously close to the all-time low of 26 set by New Zealand in 1955. While the Windies had earlier produced a bowling masterclass, Australia's response with the ball was simply on another level, with the man of the moment, Mitchell Starc, leading the way with a six-fer in his 100th Test.

Mitchell Starc To Jayden Seales OUT!
OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! GAME, SET, AND MATCH! Australia have done a clean sweep by winning all three Test matches, and it is Mitchell Starc who has finished things off in his 100th Test. Absolutely ecstatic for him! Bowls in a yorker delivery, around off, gets it to seam away, Jayden Seales remains leg side of the ball, in order to access the off side and tries to bring his bat down to jam out but gets a bit late. Gets an inside edge onto his pads before the ball crashes into the middle stump. This is the second-lowest total in an inning in Test cricket history! AUSTRALIA WIN BY 176 RUNS!

Scott Boland To Jomel Warrican OUT!
OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! WOW! Scott Boland has got a Hat-Trick here and he goes in celebration, running towards the slip cordon! Bowls it on the hard length and brings it to seam back in, and keeps the line around the off stump. Jomel Warrican tries to take out his front leg forward and looks to defend it with the bat away from his body, but he plays the wrong line. The ball comes in after pitching and beats the inside edge, and goes on to hit the off stump. West Indies are 26/9 and Australia are just one wicket away now from a clean sweep!
Jomel Warrican comes out to bat next.

OUT! LBW! TWO IN TWO! Scott Boland is on a hat-trick now! He goes around the wicket and lands this full and on off, nips back in sharply. Shamar Joseph gets stuck in his crease and tries to defend but plays down the wrong line. The ball goes past the inside edge and hits him around the kneeroll. There is a big shout for LBW, but the finger stays put. The Aussies look confident here, and Pat Cummins takes the review. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved, and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. Windies eight down now!
Shamar Joseph is the new batter in.

Scott Boland To Justin Greaves OUT!
OUT! TAKEN AT SLIPS! Scott Boland strikes now! He hits the good length and on middle and off, threatens to angle in but straightens after hitting the duck. Justin Greaves stays back to play but gets squared up as the ball takes the outside edge. It flies straight to second slip, where Beau Webster takes a good catch. West Indies are 26/7, chasing 204 runs, and the Aussies are just 3 wickets away from the win now.
