27 all-out! Mitchell Starc and Scott Bolland make history as West Indies record their lowest test score
Stark’s 15 balls five-for-for and Bolland’s Hat-Trick Discantle Vidies in Record-Battering Third Test
The numbers may take some time to sink, but Visuals told the story. Mitchell Starc was on a mission, Scott Bolland was tireless, and the West Indies were abandoned with one of the most derogatory scorecards in Test cricket history. Bowlled out for just 27, their lowest test total, the hosts avoided matching the infamous 26 of New Zealand. This was certainly a terrible day of Test cricket, India and England battled it in a classic of a Lord a few hours ago.
Stark set a tone for historical five in 15 balls
What better performance do you want in your 100th Test match? Mitchell Starc opened flood attacks with one of the most cruel new balls seen in Test cricket. He dismissed John Campbell with the first ball of the innings and never looked back. Only in 15 delivery, he took five wickets, now crossing the 79 -year record set by Erni Toshc, the fastest five wickets off balls off balls in Test history.
By the end of his third over, Stark’s figures read 5/2, and were staring at the barrel at 7 for the West Indies 5. He was not done yet. Stark later returned to clean Jayden Seal, finishing with a career-servation figures of 6 for 9 in 6.3 overs. Bolland’s thunder came in the middle of Stark’s storm.
Bolland’s hat -trick seals
Stark shook the top order, the Scott Bolland came to cut the tail. He dismissed Justin Greaves, Shamar Joseph, and Joomme Warrican in continuous delivery, who claimed to have a hat -trick, only became the 10th Australian to achieve the test in the test and the first after Peter Sedal in 2010.
His last ball of a hat-trick was a late semen which dissolved the further defense of Warrican and went to an off-stump. It was almost inaccessible and closed a dream day for Australian Quick.

Only four players harassed the scorer, and their top six collectively scored six runs. The 176-run defeat sealed a 3–0 series for Australia and a moment of disappointment for West Indies cricket.
