The Aussie bowler was spitting fire on Tuesday morning as he took three wickets in his first over as the home side fell apart at Sabina Park in Jamaica. With Starc taking five wickets for two runs in his third over, the West Indies were left a shell of their former selves. Starc had cricket historians reaching for their record books with five wickets in 15 deliveries. For a while in the first session of play, it genuinely seemed the iconic record of the lowest score in Test cricket history (26 runs) was under threat.

The home side capitulated to lose their first five wickets for seven runs. They stumbled to 6/22 at the tea break, with Josh Hazlewood taking the other wicket. Australia appears set to complete a clean sweep in the Frank Worrell Trophy series, after also winning the first two Tests. At 6/22 heading into the second session of play, the West Indies are 179 runs short with four wickets in the shed. The West Indies are still well on their way to the lowest score in the Caribbean cricket federation’s history — 43 runs, set in 2003. Starc’s spell saw him reach 400 wickets in his 100th Test. His five wickets in 15 balls spell broke the previous record of 19 balls, set by Ernie Toshack in 1947. The cricket world was completely gobsmacked by the scenes. Aussie Test great Greg Blewett said on ESPN: “Unbelievable wasn’t it. At the start of that run chase you probably thought the West Indies were outsiders, but it was all blown away in the space of five minutes from Mitchell Starc”. Blewett went on to say the opening spell had been “absolutely frightening”. “Running in at 145km/h and swinging the pink ball. It was just complete devastation,” he said. Aussie Test great Brad Haddin said it had been a “ridiculous” spell of bowling. Former West Indies captain Carlos Brathwaite also called Starc “special” and a “modern day great”. West Indies great Jimmy Adams also said it had been “wretched” batting by the home side, describing the innings as an “absolute disaster”. Cricket commentator Neal Gardner posted on X: “To do what Starc just did in his 100th test, it does not get any more iconic. I’m in awe” One person posted: “There’s Mitchell Starc and then there’s everyone else. Even Bumrah fades when Starc is in full flight”. Another cricket fan wrote: “Starc will end his career as one of the greatest cricketer ever”. Starc removed John Campbell on the first ball of the innings, with the West Indies opener feathering a length delivery through to the wicketkeeper for a golden duck. Three deliveries later he went bang bang. First he dismissed debutant Kevlon Anderson via LBW. Brandon King was his next victim, knocked over by a searing delivery that took out off stump. King’s golden duck set up a hat-trick delivery, which was not successful. The home side earlier suggested a fightback was on the cards as they wrapped up the Aussie tail quickly, setting themselves a total of 204 to chase. The day began with Cameron Green getting knocked over with the first delivery of play. Beginning the day at 6/99, Australia was all out for 121 with Green’s score of 42 the only meaningful innings. Australia on Monday extended their first-innings lead of 82 but were kept in check by the West Indies bowlers as the pink ball proved almost unplayable under floodlights in the final session for the second day in a row. Alzarri Joseph snared three wickets and Shamar Joseph two to keep their team in the game after their batters earlier collapsed to 143 all out in an eventful middle session. Shamar Joseph took his series haul to 20 victims with only Australia’s Cameron Green preventing a complete capitulation by compiling an unbeaten 42. Earlier, a day after the visitors lost their last seven wickets for 68 runs to be dismissed for 225, the Caribbean side were marginally worse. The hosts lost their last seven wickets for 61 from 82-3 as Australia’s array of seamers ran riot. Scott Boland, selected as a fourth seamer at the expense of veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon, led the demolition with 3-34. Josh Hazlewood and Cummins claimed two wickets each in a performance that could have been even better had wicketkeeper Alex Carey not spilled two chances. Such was the discomfort of the home batsmen that they were incapable of making the most of those lapses. Poor shot selection contributed as did the needless runout of Justin Greaves who departed to Konstas’s throw from the cover boundary after turning for a third run. Boland triggered the second session slide when he had John Campbell leg-before offering no shot for 36, which was the highest score of the innings. He also bowled Shai Hope (23) and then rounded off the innings with the wicket of Shamar Joseph (8). At the start of the day the West Indies found free scoring almost impossible on a seamer-friendly surface against an attack offering very few opportunities. Just 57 runs came off 23 overs for the loss of two wickets in the first session. Hazlewood and Cummins were the successful bowlers on a humid afternoon, accounting for the overnight pair of Brandon King (14) and Roston Chase (18). King was trapped leg before by a full delivery from Hazlewood while Cummins removed his West Indian counterpart via an edge to Khawaja at first slip from ball which lifted sharply off a good length.
