Mitchell Starc delivered the fastest five-wicket haul in Test history to help Australia demolish West Indies for just 27 runs on day three of the final Test in Kingston, sealing a 3-0 series sweep in the 2025 Frank Worrell Trophy.

The 35-year-old left-armer tore through the West Indies top order, taking five wickets in just 15 balls—four deliveries quicker than the previous record. His final figures of 6-9 came during a devastating spell that also saw him reach 400 career Test wickets in his 100th appearance, joining Australian greats Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Nathan Lyon.

Chasing 204 for victory, the West Indies collapsed to 0-3 after just one over and never recovered, narrowly avoiding the all-time lowest Test total of 26, set by New Zealand in 1955. Seven players were dismissed for ducks—a new record—and leg byes were the second-highest contributor to the total.

Scott Boland added further misery with a hat-trick in the 14th over, before Starc bowled Jayden Seales to end the innings in just 14.3 overs.

Australia had earlier been dismissed for 121, but their bowling unit sealed a dominant series after comfortable wins in Bridgetown and St George’s.

  1. This is totally embarrassing and intolerable
    By the west indies team.
    What the heck is going on here! Eh!
    Is something sinister going on with this team?
    It certainly looks that way!
    West indies do better.
    Vivi please help!

  2. It is as if our cricket is taking a backward step. The only bright spark was our bowling attack that gave a very good account of themselves. Being bowled out for the second lowest score in test cricket is both humiliating and embarrassing. It is left to be seen if both the Management and coaching staff would accept responsibility and resign. Heads must roll as our cricket has sunken to its lowest low.

  3. The west indies cricket board needs to resign forthwith,
    The batting coach, the bowling coach needs to go not tomorrow not yesterday
    Immediately.
    Some guy name Sammy needs to be fired
    right away.
    I’m tired of looking in my husband’s face and see the sadness, the despair, the frustration after every cricket game.
    I’m tired 😫 😩
    Enough is enough..

  4. Rally! Eh! Eh! Eh!
    Rally round the West Indies,
    Now, and for, #for, for, for, for, ever!
    Ever! Evah_Ever?

    The bowlers deserve respect, no doubt!
    The batsmen, a couple of things, not in this order but nevertheless, let’s #Jus_Do_Um…

    A…substitute the West Indies front SIX from the Men’s Team to the women team and have the front 6 from the women’s team, to do the batting for West Indies.

    Or,
    B…ask ChapGBT to select the batsmen!

    Or,
    C…three(3) D print the batsmen and have AI give them their coaching!

    Either way, this batting by West Indies is beyond atrocious and embarrassing for today’s performances, at this level.

    I am getting a #VIBZ, that it’s the Culture of the team. It’s mimicking the #Kulcha of CARICOM.

    It’s hard, to rally around such performances and at the same time, such performances are killing the TICKET SALES which is sorely needed to build a better incubation culture for our top prospects.
